Not today but this past weekend I finally got around to changing the wipers and noticed that the dump truck hauling a backhoe that I was behind on I-295 scraped up some asphalt after hitting a small bump and it chipped my windshield in a few places! Now I have to call State Farm and see about getting a new one.

I also looked under the hood to check fluids and realized that my coolant looks cruddy only after 71k! I thought that it was supposed to last till 100k. Guess a flush is in my future.

No ice for my '08. Too much money there to risk the fall threw. If I'm taking any of my vehicles on the ice it will the '07 Rhino 660 or the '98 F150. Truck hauled a new interior kit for the 40 year old Deere 4230 over to a neibors shop. Got it put in, now to do a few others things with the old girl as long as its over there.

This morning, my truck left a giant puddle of transmission fluid on my driveway. So I had to bring it to the dealership to get fixed.

Spent a 3-day weekend at Stone Mountain in Atlanta, GA. Had booked this months ago and was hoping to get lucky with some decent weather. But, it was absolutely freezing and windy as ever so no such luck. At least we met family there (halfway point between us) so that was nice regardless of the weather situation.

Made my own lower bumper grill for my '13 Limited. Fabricated all my own parts. I like the Chrome and fills that fugly hole in the bumper lol.
I never liked the aftermarket grills I find that mount flush with the front of the bumper and use the stock holes / slots in the lower part of the bumper so I inlayed the grill so it sits about an inch behind the bumper. It took me two evenings to cut (a Chrysler 300C grill that I had bought for my 2012 that I never installed) and fabricate l the parts and it is tight in there trying to use nuts and bolts and wrenches lol.
