I lined the lock box drawer with tool box liner. I meant to grab "The Precious" from the safe to take a pic of it in its new mobile home, but was running late today. Instead, I added the proper map for safe keeping.

We have 3 grand kids, one girl, 2 boys. The girl and one of the boy's birthdays are in October. The oldest boy is November 2nd, so we started a tradition last year to take them some place special for a week and call it Birthday week. Last year it was a cabin in South Lake Tahoe. This year it is a house on the north coast, literally 300 yards from the beach. They will be 5 years, 6 years, and 2 years. Yes, the girl is the terrible two's! Yesterday, we took them on a train ride thru the redwood forest. Good times! I'm tuckered out, lol!
OP
Yes. We took them on a train ride to the tunnel.
OP
Birthday week coming to a close. First real rain showed today, so we baked cookies. Kids went to town, so Nana and I are enjoying the quiet on the covered part of the deck.
OP
And right now as we are quietly sipping some wine on the deck, some visitors past thru.

As usual, nothing goes smoothly. Right out the gate, one of the Allen bolt heads stripped trying to remove the disco's.
OP
@DylanM345 , once I figure out how to get that stripped bolt off the sway bar, I'll clean up these discos for you if you still want them.
I will most definitely take them if youre getting rid of them
OP
The instructions didn't mention I needed to eat my wheaties for this part!
Unfortunatly I had to eat all mine to get the rear shocks on... if I had any leftover id share
Yeah...that is something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. It SUCKS. The rest of the install is a piece of cake...as long as your arms slide on nice and don't grab a burr like @toximus did.
OP
Yeah, thanks to his warning, I paid attention about that. I was using a chisel to pry open the arms and actually caused a burr on the bar shaft. Sanded it smooth and carried on.
