I'm going to be swapping axles this weekend, Aug 29-30. We are going to try to get my axle's out prior to delivery of the "new" axles, and then the new axles under the Heep. I've already got DrRandy and redneck confirmed. Anyone with any experience, or interest is welcome. Last time, the doughnuts and pizza were pretty good...not to mention the 5 year old photographer running around:D If Aaron is consistent...and I think he is...we'll be firing up the compressor about 6:30am or so:scared::cheers::party:

Can you guess which one Steven likes??
http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q93/ChuckstrPT/Doughnuts/Doughnuts004.jpg

So, which is better? Depends on which is in my mouth! They are both good, but Different. Shipley's is more "caky" and KK is more "Airy." I'd eat either one that was in front of me! Of course, these are my opinions, and do not represent the opinions of my employer blayh blah blah....

and anyone know what the H*ll these are....their momma made a nest right next to my battery....and pooped/peed on my intake manifold....stinky!

ChuckstrPT

mice?

Yeh, thought about that...but they look real new, and too big to be a mouse? I caught a mouse last year in my garage, and it was no bigger then my thumb. We've got lots of chipmunks and squirrels around here....:dunno:

well dont look like mice. too big.

i would say mole but they prolly wouldnt nest in a jeep.

could be chipmonk. squirrels prolly wouldnt nest in a jeep as well... but shipmonks arent big either... maybe they are squirrels...


sorry cant be too much help.

It is Alabama. Something else came and got them in the night tho. I left them in a box on the other side of the driveway and the next morning they were gone.

As for the doughnuts, the're both good. I cant say one is better than another because the're different styles of doughnuts. I ate them both and enjoyed them so they're both winners.

We need more people to show up next time. With multiple jeeps apart in the driveway theres more than enough work to go around! A big thanks to Kris (ladywolf) for dropping the axles and bumpers off! Another fun filled weekend of wrenching done. Well, almost :moon:
