I am trying to get a top for my Jeep…
Just a little thing to keep about while driving about with no top, and the freak thunderstorm pops up.
Indiana's weather sucks, so ya know.

Little Drops Of Rain
Music: Page & Plant ~ Thank You
first off, i am typing this very blindly. i can not sleep, and i am therefore not wearing my glasses, so bear with me here.
let us see.
tonight i stopped and helped some random strangers who were stranded on the road. the kid hit a pothole and blew both tires on the passenger side of his car. he only had the standard one spare, and no lug wrench, so i helped them push it out of the entrance of the parking lot where he stopped and into a parking space. i hung around until the person they called for a ride showed up. we messed about with the car a bit longer. i put a jack under the front because leaving the rim sitting on the ground is not really smart. yes, the tire was more or less completely gone.
that, combined with the events of saturday through tuesday made me realize that my Jeep is not invulnerable. so, i spent some time tonight putting my tools back where they belong, finding my jack and putting it back where it goes, and adding 2 flashlights to the mix. i need to get a folding 4-way lug wrench tomorrow, because i gave my other one to annie. i have a 22 mm socket that will work, but i don't have a breaker bar and i don't want to subject my ratchet to that kind of abuse, if i can help it. i have broken 2 of them, and this is the only one i have left.
my toolbox is so nifty, it is a small army ammo box. metal, watertight, seals nicely. if fits perfectly between my seat and door in my Jeep. i got it for fifty cents at a garage sale a few years ago. i may need to come up with another because this one is almost full. i will worry about that when i get the time and resources though.
and the tendonitis in my right elbow is making the typing so freaking difficult now, so goodnight kids.

It’s A Rig That Will Never Fail
the Jeep now has a muffler again. it goes in a quiet and happy manner. i am right back where from i started.
go me!
once mine birthday comes and goes, i will probably use the monies from that to begin doing things i want to do to the Jeep. probably the frame for the top or new hinges or doors or something. just small stuff to get it to where i eventually want it to be
well, goodnight kids

Got A CJ-5 With A 4 Wheel Drive (2)
also, while the thing was aimlessly spinning all over the world, it destroyed (read: beat the crap out of and then ripped off) the muffler. I had just put that thing on there like 3 months ago!
Got A CJ-5 With A 4 Wheel Drive
The drive shaft fell off of Gale's much-loved Jeep tonight. It would not have been as bad if Gale had not been in the middle of a busy intersection when it happened. Gale singlehandedly pushed it along and got over into the right hand lane (while pushing) and had enough momentum to get it up the hill and into a hotel's parking lot. It would have worked if some random man had not come up and started pulling it the other way. Ah well. We got it. Gale then proceeded to get it to work by pulling the shaft the rest of the way off and then putting it into 4WD. The purpose served by that was to engage the non-broken driveshaft and render it operable once again. Worked beautifully. Until the transmission fluid started pouring out of where the rear shaft needed to be. So, said Jeep is sitting at work right now and I shall be making my way up there very early in the morning to get it dealt with, one way or another.

The Real Folk Blues
Japanese
Aishiteta to nageku ni wa
Amari ni mo toki wa sugite shimatta
Madakokoro no kokorobi wo
Iyasenu mama kaze ga fuite'ru
Hitotsu no me de asu wo mite
Hitotsu no me de kinow mitsumete'ru
Kimi no ai no yurikago de
Mou ichido yasuraka ni nemuretara
Kawaita hitome de kareka naite kure
THE REAL FOLK BLUES
Hontou no kanashimi ga shirtai dake
Doro no kawa ni tsukatta jinsei mo waruku wa nai
Ichido kiri de owaru nara
Kibou ni michita zetsubou to
Wana ga shikakerarete'ru kono CHANSU
Nani ga yokute warui no ka
KOIN no omote to ura mitai da
Dore dake ikireba iyasareru no darou
THE REAL FOLK BLUES
Hontou no yorokobi ga shiritai dake
Hikaru mono no subete ga ougon to wa kagiranai
THE REAL FOLK BLUES
Hontou no kanashimi ga shirtai dake
Doro no kawa ni tsukatta jinsei mo waruku wa nai
Ichido kiri de owaru nara
English
Too much time has passed by to
Lament that we were deeply in love
The wind still blowing, while my heart
Cannot heal all the tears in it
One side of my eyes see tomorrow,
And the other one see yesterday
I hope I could sleep in the cradle of your love, again
Someone, cry for me with parched eyes.
*The real folk blues
I only want to know what true sadness is
Sitting in muddy water
Isn't such a bad life
It ends after the first time.
Hopeless hope,
And the chance with traps
What is right, or wrong
It's like a both side of a coin
How long I must live till I release?
The real folk blues
I just want to feel a real pleasure
All that glitters is not gold
*The real folk blues
I only want to know what true sadness is
Sitting in muddy water
Isn't such a bad life
It ends after the first time.
