Custom headliner and seats redone. Original wooden slats in floor. Runs and drives good. New tires, new water pump and distributor rebuilt.

Just a Few Updates Tuesday

• CATEGORIES: News This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Ann was in quite a bit of pain last night. The pain was so intense that she could barely talk. After an hour or so at the VA’s ER, the doc was able to alleviate the sharp pains she felt in Ann’s head and left eye, but they could not locate the source of the problem. A CT scan revealed nothing. 

We returned home this evening. The pain is much less (she is joking around), but she still can’t sit up for long without nausea (I made her a big bed in the back of the jeep). So, we will see how things progress …

Just a few updates today. We are at the hospital in Seattle and coverage is spotty. Ann has an issue and we are trying to figure out what is happening.

No Updates Today

Ann and I have been busy with Rusty today. We removed (no easy task given the damage and rusty bolts) the grille and are ready to straighten it. Ann removed the rear tire, lights, and funky rear tow setup. We bought a battery, changed oil, etc. We learned that the starter spins and the engine turns over smoothly. The fuel pump works, too, but there’s no spark to the plugs just yet (seems to be the points — coil is working).

Here are just a few pics.

The rust areas in the center are rusted through. The cargo area floor has a similar sized rust problem. Both appear patchable. Ann did all this work.

This is my wife’s blood. I told her to stop bleeding on the jeep 🙂

My ignition didn’t come with a key and wasn’t stock anyway, so I ditched it. Instead, I rigged up this fender mounted dash with an ignition switch and button starter.

I spent yesterday sick in bed. That was good for watching some football, but no good for updates (nor did I check any email). There should be updates Tuesday morning.

I Was So Tired Last Night That …

• CATEGORIES: News This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

…. I managed to schedule this morning’s update on the wrong date. And, it was just the simple update below:

We had a very slow start yesterday for reasons that shall remain in confidence due to the sensitive nature of the person who slowly got ready, delaying our departure, and who was not Ann nor I. The slow departure kept us from spending as much time as we’d hoped in downtown Fort Worth. More on that tomorrow.

Later on in the day, the two fast morning-dressers went out on their own and had a lovely afternoon meeting with Jesse and Andrea Ybarra, then a wonderful dinner with my niece, who is feeling the affects of being away from home as a Freshman in college. Our timing with her couldn’t have been better.

When we returned to the motorhome, I received an email that may lead to an incredible jeep-related opportunity, which could change our travel plans slightly. I’ll know more later today.

However, right now (that would be late Monday evening) I’m exhausted, so this is the only post for Tuesday morning. Stayed tuned …. I will post Tuesday afternoon if our travel plans change.
