Default I'm Still Here

Hey Guys-
In case you were wondering, I'm still around.
Still in lovely, scenic Iraq. Won't be back until January.
And when I do finally get back, I'll be getting right back to working on the rig. And this time, I'll have no excuses, since I'm gonna have to use it to transport materials, I've got to put a new roof on my garage ASAP.

Going to try to float around here a little more. If I can even remember anything... except for parts of March and April, it's been over a year since I've worked on her.

It's always good to see you pop in you head around here. January is not to far now. How is Fall/Winters in Iraq? Still warm?

What was left for you to do on the truck? I believe you finally got the brakes done right?

The weather here during the day is nearly perfect. Average right now is about the mid-upper 70's and gets down to the 40s-50s at night.
It will eventually get down to/below freezing at night.

The truck, have to bleed the brakes and finish the install of the e-brake.
I think I have a bad battery, but will also check for excessive voltage draw (battery won't hold charge over night, never had the chance to look at this before I left)
Run hard transmission lines.
Put the front bumper and grille back on, and some miscellaneous panels I've removed.
And wash it!
