I've spent all weekend with my friend and his gf from out of town. He drove down here Wednesday and his car broke down up along the coast almost 2 hrs from here. So Thursday, I drove up and rescued him and his car will hopefully be fixed today or tomorrow and I get to drive him back up to get it. The drive is nice though, it's been a while since I've driven along CA's Highway 1 and the weather has been outstanding these past 5+ days.

Today I'm going to sit on my ass while my friend and his GF go to the river with some other folks, and Imma do some serious laundry that needs to be done, go to the gym, maybe warsh the Jeep  :beers:

Ya we took the 405. Traffic was no problem, we did 80+ most of the way. Today is the day NOT to be coming home from SD.

Jeffy, get a ball-joint press, they have a large c-clamp that works great on ujoints too.
I'm definitely going to buy one for the next time.  Using a vice works but it a PITA getting all the sockets to line up.  Once lined up it was easy.

Today, I MIGHT clean up my wiring and hook up the radios.  Or else I'll celebrate Labor Day by not doing any.

The Tiger Tools set for installation and removal makes it a real joy to do u-joints.  There are less expensive options, including some that also work for ball joints, but these are very good for u-joints.  They allow you to install and then fine tune so there is absolutely no binding before you put the shaft back in the Jeep.  I found that fine tuning hard to do with the hammer method.

Not really Labor's day here but Friday I went to the movies with my GF watched "The Ugly Truth", Saturday went to the 20 year anniversary concert/party from Santiago's greatest rock radio. On Sunday I finally fixed my TJ's intermittent dashboard (was tired of having to whack the crap out of it to make it work while driving) and then crashed on the couch and slept the whole afternoon.  :doggy:

Decided to do nothing.  Maybe I'll fix the wiring sometime during the week.

How long is your Labor Day weekend?

Not that I want to give my country a bad image, but our Labor´s day holiday (May 1) is quite different from your´s, it usually ends like this:







There´s not much that you can do on your "holiday" when that happens....

 Worked Saturday 5:30am-2:00pm. Took the wife after work to the Sanders County fair and watched the rodeo that night. Some of the best rough stock I've ever seen. They had several national champion horses and bulls there. Spent the night at her sister's house and visited her most the next day. Yesterday celebrated my daughter's 20th birthday( where did all the years go?).
