Wednesday, April 7, 2021 – Truck Suspension Repair Day

Hi Sweetie,
After chores and a quick breakfast, I headed off to the truck repair place down by the fairgrounds and dropped off the truck. They were nice enough to give me a ride to the nearby IHOP, where I proceeded to have a second light breakfast, and to work on my computer for hours. It kept getting colder and colder in there, and I could feel the chill returning, and even though they didn’t call me that the truck was ready yet, at about 2:30 I decided to walk the ¾ mile back to the shop, which was a good workout for my knee after sitting for so many hours. The truck was ready and waiting (for how long, I have no idea), but I stood in line for a bit, then paid and drove off. The rear end is definitely a bit higher, but the ride doesn’t seem to have been affected too much, so I think this was a good choice. They replaced the old six leaf spring system with an eight leaf spring system, and put in some new shocks I had ordered online. They also adjusted the parking brake and checked the brake pads, so I guess I’m good to go on that! Got back to the ranch, sat around by the pool with Bill and Sandy for a bit, then they grill some chicken and we, remarkably, were eating before 6:45, with even Jeff joining us that early! We fed the critters, then finally sat down to play some euchre, which I’d been hoping to do for awhile now. That kept us busy till well after 10:00, which is why I’m so later tonight, but I’m off for shower and bed now! Good night, my darlin’! Love you!
