Washed it, waxed it, drove it to a lunch date. Got rained on.
Washed it, drove it to the drive-in. Got covered in bug juice.
Going to wash it for a third time in two days!

Removed my driveshaft & replaced it with another one I had laying around because the front yoke started leaking transmission fluid through it...

Oh, & I got my son to wash it...

My lovely wife drove my van to Lowe's to pick up what I hope is the final 4 sheets of drywall for my never ending house addition.

It is so great that a 4x8 sheet fits. I've hauled like 20 at once, but they start getting into the front seat backs. And they get heavy.

Grumpy: Top off front diff fluid.

Green: Start putting the trans crap back together, so I can limp it over to emissions.

Replaced the driver's side window switches. Now switches on both sides work. I guess the circuit just needed to be completed. $\:D/$ Thanks again AstroJoe!! It took a little longer than usual to get them thanks to my local postal service dropping the ball (again). Money is on the way my friend.

Picked up yet another sheet of drywall (last one for a while, lol), some more flipping 2x4s, and hauled a load of drywall scraps and other debris to the dumpster.

After a few radiator tablets at the beginning of summer and getting through two long and hot weather trips, the rad started leaking again from the driver's side plastic area. I guess I'll order one on ebay for $100 and get this repair moving along.

Keith, why oh why, did you have to post about your van losing its tailpipe and muffler? Don't you realize that my van pays attention to what other vans are doing and will want to join in on the fun? Sure, I'll soon be flopping around in the driveway replacing the exhaust plumbing, dealing with falling rust, getting nicks and cuts...And why? Because someone we all know just couldn't keep a maintenance issue to themself!

monday on the 99: changed pass side brake rotor and caliper (partially seized caliper = warped rotor)

monday on the 93: cleaned from the dash to behind the front seats LOL ... did this while pulling out the leather and reinstalling the factory cloth seats.

not really a astro/safari but we did get home from a 4000km holiday with our windstar and only had one problem the whole trip, a bad wheel bearing.

Sunday I taught my 14 y/o daughter to do an oil change. She did all the work herself!! I am one proud papa right now!! She is the only female in the house who can do basic maintenance. She loves turning wrenches with dad.

While making a u-turn I ran into a steel curb drain. Peeled a little of the steel rim lip back. Low speed impact. Nothing more than cosmetic damage. Just adds character. Jim
