Man, I can't win guys. Some of you know I've been having heater issues ( not warming up fully). Today I started smelling antifreeze very strong. I know it's toxic so I turned it off. 10 mins into driving and I've got a plume of vapor coming out of the vents on top of the dash that made it almost impossible to drive from fogging the window.
Guess I know what I'm going to tackle this weekend.

I think it will come in really handy. That makes me pretty dang happy that we don't have hills around here to get off balance on.

White....did your snow melt any yet? Have any good snowball fights with the neighbor yet in the new year? lol
Now on me.....I ran into someone who I was madly in love with back in the mid 80's but she was married and so was I. It was to never be. Her husband died a while back and she was going out with my neighbor. I didn't realize it was her. He came over and borrowed my mower in Sept and that is when I found out I knew her. Actually she asked him to ask me where we could know each other from. The minute he said her first name, I had it. She worked for me back then and we became great friends. Nothing more but it was certainly there and we both knew it. Strange on how we ran into each other, so many years later, all because the neighbor needed to cut his lawn.
His loss.
She no longer dates the neighbor. Now she is my little Mexican Senorita. It took forever, but damn, it feels like it was worth the wait now. And of course she loves Fords. My kind of girl. I'd be willing to bet that I marry this girl down the road.
2017 is really going my way so far. The Donald better not take credit for this accomplishment too. LOL I am one happy Minion right now. Hope it lasts.
Gossip corner is over. Continue on guys.

The first one I did took about 5-6 hours. I didn't have YouTube then. The second was under 3 and the third just over 2 hours.. You remember where everything is, so the repetition is so good, they start to fly out . You'll get it. Watch the video of the guys saying 12 minute and 15 removals. They have it down for 2 guys. Still, with a small impact or power ratchet, it comes apart fairly easily.

Bear....I'm glad you are moving around okay. I know that looks nasty and probably hurts like hell, but you will be better off when all is said and done. Keep up the rehab. Good luck buddy.
