It did look a little dire last night talking to Dave but I'm hoping he's doing The Good Work today and I'm going to help him tomorrow while I'm off and trying to pull in some friend help as well. I told Dave last night that this is a crucible moment and us coming out of this will make him purer. Unfortunately I really can't stay after Friday. I wasn't married, I didn't even have a girlfriend when I first offered my place to Sims but now that I am she really wants me to be living with her and I've waited far too long already.

Enourmo posted:So what exactly is the truck's current status? Is the throttle cable the very last mechanical thing that needs done on it and the rest is paperwork? Finish rear brakes, bleed system, hook up radiator, hook up or maybe bypass heater core, check ps pump after running, button up front sheet metal, replace headlights, fill all fluids, finish return fuel line, throttle pedal, whatever breaks after we actually start moving.

We.... may have hit our first SNAFU. The brake cylinders that Larry bought for the rear. All four of them... are wrong. The existing ones look okay but Dave had been pretty adamant about having brakes.

Dave says gently caress it. We're proceeding.

And so I said goodbye to my new friend. I could go on about how we had some grand farewell party full of beer and strippers. Cocaine was passed around as party favors while Dave wore a purple dildo on his head like a tiny hat at a cocky angle. (Yes he pointed out the phrasing several times) but at the end of the trip one sees the banality of the real world. The traveling salesman hotel in a frontier town on the edge of the Black Hills. The firm handshake and polite goodbye. Fly on you crazy spaceman. Fly home my friend.

Just wanted to say that I had to stop by the place on Thursday to grab some stuff. Truck is still in fine shape. All the grass is green and even growing back in the burnt areas around the jeep! I have to spend a couple weeks in town in June and I have some ideas. I'm not saying anything more because I don't want to get hopes up and then disappoint people. Just wanted to say that things are still turning in the background.

angryrobots posted:I wish. There isn't much close by, although I suppose for other reasons that is its own advantage. I can say that I will be back in Valentine for two weeks in June. I'm trying to get some stuff organized and the truck is a priority on my list. Sims has contacted me and is shipping some exhaust parts. I'll actually be back in town at the first of May. I'll take a pic and post it so everyone gets an idea of what's going on. I was actually out there two weeks ago. With the green grass and warm sun it really looked different from the frozen hell hole that I had remembered.
