Ride of the Month Winner
Oil and filter change, greased all the zerks and a 5 tire rotation
Finally modified the spare tire bike rack mount to work with the new wheels & tires.
Had to add 3.5" to the length.
Rack fits & works great now.

Then I changed the oil.
Did you use the hitch receiver as a stencil?
So in case you guys wonder why in the world is this maniac doing driving around at midnight-
Well there’s a story-
My dad is 81 and his mental and physical health is going south quick-
I’ve got a second cousin that is absolutely a train wreck- He currently lives in a tent behind his parents house- complete idiot, almost beyond belief.
So I’m driving over there and slipping down the driveway with the lights off to make sure he isn’t trying to “help”
my dad and steal , take his medicine or mooch in any way- the cousin is a typical dopehead con artist. Got out of prison last year and it has been downhill since-
To make it a little more intense dad has a gun safe- he sold a lot of his guns to my oldest son who in turn amassed a huge collection of very nice bird guns - Citoris, 101’s, Weatherbys, Light 12’s, 1100’s in every gage, Model 12’s -even had a ‘58 model 12 that was never shot-
I’ve told my son- get those guns out of there!
But Dad, I need a gun safe.....
Uh no you won’t if he steals your guns.....
At this stage my dad is liable to do anything, like give some away thinking they are his. He has already deeded one house to someone we don’t even know. Time for power of attorney.
I’m in for a wild ride guys. I have a great wife and awesome older sister to help, so at least I’m not on my own.
I feel for you man . My dad and best friend passed last Nov but not before 8 agonizing years as he slipped further into dementia. And I have a sister and 2 of her sons that were more than willing to take advantage of him in his weakened mental state.
