We got the clutch fan in with the development of a new, "adjustable" spanner
tool (Patent Pending). Actually. it's a piece of steel with a handle and a few
holes drilled into it for screws to pass through. Had to make several attempts
(hence adjustable).
They're forcasting about an inch of rain tonight, then another 1/2 inch
tomorrow with winds 20-30 mph and gusts to 40.
Jon's under his Ram now replacing the front brake line, and I was taking a nap.
Stay tuned for more THRILLING AND SCARY ADVENTURES OF DAKTOBERFEST!!!
