Glad I got a heads up

Wet wet wet

 Ever since I moved to SoCal, I don't pay much attention to the weather forecast.


In the winter, it is gonna be sunny and chilly, and in the summer, sunny and hot. Pretty basic.

So, of course it was right when I pulled the front axle apart on the Comanche that we get 3 straight days of rain... at least where I was up in the mountains.

I had just pulled the knuckles and shafts and such and went into town to put the balljoints and studs in the new knuckles. I got home pretty late that night after running a bunch of other errands, and my friend down the street mentions about the rain coming, of course over the weekend.

So there I am at 11 pm one night with ziplock bags and duct tape. I almost didn't do it, but now, almost 3 days later, with the rain stopped, I went out to check it. The entire front axle is soaked. Glad I bagged it.
