This is after I put 5 gallons of fuel in it. Here is the parking area for the bridge operators. Just out of the frame is a dead gull.  

Of course it started raining when we got back to it with fuel. I should have taken a picture in the other direction but it was raining.

Oh and I did! Like I said earlier glad my girl was driving behind me to push me here. Had quite a few people almost side swipe us because they didn't move over at all, even though there was no oncoming traffic.

At least it wasn’t a Saturday in July about noon. But it might not have been raining.

Actually I would have preferred it! LOL Traffic would be driving at 15 mph and I could have been just pushed to the round about and off the bridge.

Yea, hadn't thought that through completely. I guess you could have just jumped out and pushed and kept up.  Would have kept up with the flow of traffic even with out help from behind.

LOL True.

 Unfortunately it needs to have some repairs and the drive train swapped out. I just enjoy driving it that I have been stalling to take it apart.

By the time I made it home today it was dark and cold. Cry  The Jeep has just been sitting so I went out to start it. Battery needs charged up. If it is not raining in the morning I'll take the battery out and put it on the charger at work.

Luckily it was not raining this morning when I removed my battery, although it did pour an hour before. Battery is charging up as I type this.

Spent 24 dollars for some gaskets and and bolts couple days ago.  Today they were waiting for me on the porch when I came home. Need to kick start myself into getting the other motor I have sitting on a stand at work together and in my Jeep.
