rotated tires, dropped the spare. lubed the cable, painted the rim and aired the spare back up, put it back underneath. i hate underbody spares, but i hate the rear visability with the spare on the back worse.

Possibly blew my trans up again. Just got it back two weeks ago or whatever, and on my way to a first date with a girl suddenly I have no forward gears. Reverse works, but that doesn't help much.

I'm really hoping the trans isn't FUBARd and that there's just some mud caked in the shifter linkage or something. It's getting towed to the mechanic first thing tomorrow, so we'll see.

I've been getting her ready to drive around the block tomorrow. I've adjusted Rockers, mickey moused my TV Cable, drilled my knuckles on anything sharp, dropped my tool/bolt/nut at least 30 times. Put my Power Steering Pump and AC pulley on, along with the belts. Tomorrow will be the Smog pump, more Trans Fluid, maybe more oil, and Exhaust... and then...

I seafoamed the 'ole blaze. Poured it in the gas tank and the brake booster vacuum line. Then let it sit for awhile, then cranked it up and drove it a bit.

I'm changing the oil out tomorrow so I thought putting some seafoam in just before an oil change is good.

Got all my pulleys and belts on. Put More trans fluid in, repainted the black strips on my grille, got new clips for one of my high lights. Painted the rain deflectors pink, Got my exhaust on. One of my vaccum lines broke and we couldn't figure out why the engine was laboring, until my husband plugged the line and she started running smooth. Pretty sure it was just a heating line. Its raining now but I'm hoping that it clears soon and I can drive her.

Took the blazer out to harbor freight today for some stuff on-sale. I got a 40 piece socket set with ratchet for $2.99. Now that's cheap lol. Plus it is Pittsburgh brand and has a lifetime warranty with it.

Also, I changed the oil in the 'ole blazer. I put castrol syntec in it with a pureolater oil filter.
