KW Project

Mounts for fenders will have to be reconfigured as came off a PETE but easily done.

Monday was Eye Doc day so not much doings, Bad eye is going to need a corrective lens now that implant and eye have acclimated, bigger story is Good Eye, Right side now has a forming cataract, not ready for surgery yet.

So Tuesday I work on truck awhile manage to break seven of ten cab marker light bolts even using a small rattle gun as were frozen in Rivnuts installed in cab, ordered parts then went back to the right seat as was too far In cab for my liking where as was maneuvering  seat on cab floor from side steps lost footing, had no quick grab handhold and fell backward against bottom shelf of temp workbench and jack sitting in floor as hit the floor.  

All was good as could get my wind back but SORE AS ALL GET OUT, secured all, went to house cleaned up and had Anniversary dinner with wife, 36 years Married, on July 4 is 38 together did not let on could barely stand or sit or laying down was beyond difficult with rising painful enough to grab like a claw grapple.  Had a scheduled Doc Visit on the morning of Wednesday, still did not let on and got to visit.  Scrape and bruise were nasty looking but contact pain minimal where remainder of visit was Medicare Wellness check over and a Pneumonia vax booster both of us felt good to go as could deep inhale and had reasonable range of movement.  When DID tell the Wife she was REALLY Mad.  BAD Night Wed night to Thurs, so called in for Spasm relief to same NP that did my visit and those helped me get thru until Monday.  Hate the woozie feelings they cause so decided as was less issue to stop them.  Today had a parts run to KW for the bolts and well nut Rivnut replacement parts still getting severe hit when get up or step off with R Foot to L Side back so after dealing with it went back to Doc office, X ray told all.  Not one but TWO fractured(Line Cracks) ribs, bottom two Left Side, not muscle spasming because of muscle hit but trying to immobilize damn ribs.  

Great now what!!,, Nothing can do but STOP working like a Coaly and rest up awhile, Barb said as being cracked the pain was as knitted and I put pressure on reopens the knit spot, just have to grin bear it and STOP for awhile.  Not full fracture couple weeks, full circumference 3-5 weeks, hard full break 5-7 weeks.

I am really tiring of the old and brittle nonsense.  I got things to get done, SUCKS.

Will have them available for me some time in next two weeks!!

$616 EACH plus FET so $1306 the pair, to my door.

Tomorrow Sanding begins in earnest!!!

Tomorrow, Hood, Cowl below windshields, cowl extensions and realign intake tubes.  Wet Towel everything off, allow to dry, tack cloth entire truck, start masking.  Do not expect to be done masking before Tuesday.  Couple walk arounds of machine, verify mask will work, paint time.

Have to wait until early next week for painting as too hot too early and too humid.
