Spent the day cleaning up: moving the bicycles out of the garage, the canning jars to the basement, and all of the random clutter got new homes. Swept up all the dead bugs and vacuumed up the spider webs and even wiped some of the mildew off the paint.

When it was all spiffy, squared away, and ship-shape, we got some real work done. The fuel sender, pickup filter, and gasket/lock rings arrived in the mail today, so they were installed into the tank. Awaiting the filler hoses and hanger strap, and then the fuel system starts to get plumbed in.
The passenger door has been hanging out of whack and grinding on the door frame for a long time - today, we realized that the top hinge was missing two mounting bolts. As Levi asked, "Who in the world takes the doors off and doesn't put the bolts back in there?!" Well, Levi, I could tell you, but it might lower your opinion of Uncle J..... There are now two shiny new bolts holding the door level.
The seat has been annoying me since I first sat on it. It's a little flat. Unsupportive. Sunken.
It's not too cool to have a big ol' pickup truck and try to drive it with a seat that makes you look like a little old grandma trying to see over the dashboard.... took the seat out to get a better look at what I need to order from the upholstery place - and to make it easier to lay up under the dash and remove "extra" wiring. So far, I've removed about thirty feet of wires that don't need to be there (it's slow work because you have to trace each wire to make sure that it really isn't needed).
Levi loves having the seat out!
