So, we have to do one blog a day. The higher ups think we are that interesting (in a pheasant under glass kind of way, I'm sure) that they want us to do one each working day. We really aren't that interesting, but if you look at the time, I didn't actually do one on Tuesday. So, I'm calling up old school rules on this one. I've not slept since I left the house yesterday morning at 9 am, so its still the same day to me. Granted, by those rules, I'm really probably almost a month younger than I claim I am just from all the sleepless nights when I was younger. But I digress, I went to work, I called a bunch of businesses/companies for the better part of 2 or 3 hours, I worked through Jeep Shots (you guys have got to send decent pictures and tell me details about where you are from, and what parts are on the Jeep), I then copy edited it (we lost ours somewhere... more on that later this week perhaps.)... And theeeen I got to start in on New Products. Well, come 11 pm or so I had the rough draft for Products, but I still had to double check phone numbers, company names, and websites (again missing copy editor)... and 11 pm West Coast time is not the best time of day or frame of mind to do that. Then I find out my bud's Boston Terrier accidentally got its eye punctured when playing with another friend's Boxer, and since I'm a dog person, and I know the Boston owner had a Boxer who lost an eye, I knew he'd be freaking.... So I was getting info second hand trying to offer help, etc. Leave office near midnight. I need to get gas on the way home...stopped at the last station before heading up into the mountains- 1 am. 1:05 am run across a neighbor in a Kaiser era CJ-5 with a trailer hooked up to it with the hood up on the side of the twisty mountain road I live up. Stop to help. Turns out it wasn't running right, no power, tried playing with advance on the Buick motor (he says the clamp works loose on the dizzy occasionally). Follow him up this twisty road for a while, doing 40 in a 55... he waves me past... I go up ahead, and since the Jeep wasn't sounding too well pull over and wait. He made it home, it took me about 40 min to do a 25 min run, but I've been stranded by dead Jeeps on lonely mountain roads and don't wish that on anyone so I followed him till he turned off to his place. Tomorrow? Leaning tower of mufflers, wiring a compressor, random YJ wrenching, and building a compressor clutch remover (puller).
