Bah... You guys have girly weekends planned 
This is the thanksgiving long weekend in the great white north, so it's big project weekend!
My plan... We'll see how it goes, is get the whole drivetrain out of my wrote-off 88 4runner (22re / auto) and get em into the 87 4runner (22re - burns more oil than gas / 5spd). And be driving it to work tuesday...
May be a bit ambitious, guess we'll see where we sit on sunday decide if I'm swapping the transmission this weekend, or just the engine...
And of course now it's forcasting snow/rain all weekend - Time to dig out the tarps!

Understatement. It happened Monday morning, went to class then something felt horribly wrong. Ended up in the hospital and under the knife. The good thing is i caught it early, my teachers are super cool, and i am now caught with everything (thanks to my hydraulics teachers for tutoring me for an hour after class today).

i am installing my "tortis built" transfer case in the morning, and a tach mount that uses the rear view mirror mount, and the trick is to still be able to use the rear view mirror. that should be enough for this weekend, oh, and wait for Djlarroc to post pics of his last coat of paint

At some point have a dinner with a bottle (or two) of wine to myself [sanity preservation]
Study for an exam

LOL... Nice thread!!! Yup, well I will be spraying my last coat on, installing the cheapo hella knock offs I bought from Advance auto parts for $20, installing a kill switch, reinstalling all my seats and carpet, wetsanding & buffing the final coat and trying to make it to the Schutzhund regionals in Parker w/out missing anything so I don't get kicked out of my club. Oh and continue my mission of "finding the perfect tire for the perfect price". Oh and posting pics of course hahaha....

Weekend Chores
I have a 37 Ton Log Splitter so unlike at camp I have the hydraulics working for me
, I have child labor camp going too hehe , my son and 2 of his friends are going to be laborers for the woodsplitting and I will be pulling the lever on the splitter .As for the caulking ....well not so bad , just time consuming , at least I just have a little rancher with 11 windows , all I need is my 8' Ladder and some patience .
I too have spent many many hours wielding a caulk gun with caulks & adhesives of many types , although I don't hate that as much as painting I would still rather be fishing
.Thanks for the offer though
