Coooooomeeee ooonnnnn the beers are cold and the local bar is sending over the band. I bought Red Lobster stock and they threw the party platters in free! The lighting company has arrived, and the neighbors want to know if we're shooting a movie.

Actually I gave up on the big bad bottom ball joint but replaced the upper ball joint and the tie rod. I couldn't cobble up a tool on short order for pressing out the lower. Have to wait until the diesel van gets its turbo transplant so I can put the westy up on blocks for a few days.

Thanks for the moral support, and I'll keep those Red Lobster Party-Platters in mind for future get-togethers of the Busted- Knuckle Gang.
