Been a little while since I’ve written anything–I’m not entirely sure how long, as I haven’t bothered to look back to find out. I’m pretty sure it was before the Mrs’ vacation that I’d last written anything–which is what partially led to my writing hiatus. So, a small, week-long stay-at-home vacation was had, where I tried to devote much of my time to the wife being home; all was nice, calm and relaxing–then we received our tax refund. After realizing we’d been returned a decent chunk of change we did a little bit of shopping, of course, and also bought a few parts for a car that we’ve been needing to repair for a couple of years–and that’s where the remainder of my time went. I’m still in the process of repairing that car, though I have managed to return it to a somewhat road-worthy state. Basically, if it *really* needs to be on the road tomorrow, it can be; otherwise I still need to figure out a wheel noise, maybe redo the brakes, and replace the timing belt.

Since then, we’ve also aquired an ’87 AMC XJ which is in need of a lot of attention. The Mrs has been in search of an XJ of that vintage for a very long time, and this was the first to crop up that hadn’t been without a title nor destroyed by being turned into a “toy”. It is suffering rusted out floors and one section of the driver frame rail; it’s also had some weird hacked together modifications due to a previous owner having to deal with theft. There’s several other small issues that the thing has, but so far the main issue keeping us from at least getting the thing to run seems to be the need of a fuel pump.

I dunno. I can’t think of anything else terribly important that I want to take note of… Until then,

Thanks for reading;
