I bought Mal and me some lunch. Then paid off a very large loan we had.

Mrs. C wants to be the Scottish Grandma in this video, so I bought her the 'I Need a New Bum' book.

I ordered from the UK because the US version is 'I Need a New Butt'. Title just doesn't cut it.

Must be hard driving in a world full of flat, empty parking lots with half a foot of snow

Come on out here to the mountains with your low SUV/car, just don't go crying to me when you get a huge ass rock that wants a peek inside your radiator or oil pan

All I've been trying to say is that we obviously drive our cars differently, and the parts I order are from the advice of my Suspension Tuner who I have listened to for over 20 years (the guy has been messing with on and off road racing suspensions for over 40 years!)

I have taken it off road.... really rough ride though...LOL its a daily driver in suburbia in upstate NY, so the worst it typically encounters is a smart car sized pot hole...LOL

On topic: picked up a detail media blasting gun and a harmonic balancer puller from Harbor freight tonight, along with ordered some boat parts... prop, propshaft, and drive unit...

Christmas tree.

A 5" bench disk sander from Menards. $40. Been looking for awhile but all I could find were 12", which is overkill for me. Works decent for what I need.

I bought an OBDlink MX+ Professional OBD2 scanner on sale. I'm a member of the Scan Tool website and get their email offers. With their link plus a discount I got through Amazon, I got the scan tool and the software for $49.98.

Got a gift card from a friend so I bought new hood and gas door emblems for the Corvette project.

Injen cold air intake for my car. It is used so instead of the retail price of $275 I got it for $60 off craigslist.

Really want Injen to start making stuff for my Subaru... used to buy Injen stuff years ago when they were partnered with Amsoil and I got a hefty discount on their parts

Four 24v relays from Mcmaster-Carr. To keep on hand for when the Mothership has 0 stock, which is most of the time.

Started working on buying this...

That’s a blast from the past ! It doesn’t look like the top of the box is resting on the back of the cab yet ,but be sure to check out the frame very very well before purchase ,they tend to hinge in the middle .Also ,parts are not common for the internationals ,things like glass ,and just about anything non mechanical is not available new or aftermarket so you are largely on your own with them .I have come close to purchasing a few of those throughout the years ,but haven’t pulled the trigger because of parts and complete lack of aftermarket support .In your area ,you should have better luck finding parts .

The deep sump and pan gasket I had mentioned earlier for the Ural. That’s coming from Belarus.

And a 3 1/2” OTC wheel bearing locknut socket from Amazon. My old socket is 21 years old and has pulled apart its last crane axle. Plain worn out. Have another axle job coming up and remembered it slipped off a nut the last time I used it and damn near broke my hand in the process.
