Look what we brought home this past weekend

My future little helper granddaughter is only 3 months old. She came to visit this weekend. I tried to give her a 3/8 short extension to hold in her hand but mama sad NO, not yet.

You’re gonna have so much fun man.
This picture is our granddaughter from (2) years ago.
I say all she needs is a 1/2” and 9/16” to know how to help me around the shop lol.

She already has hidden your last two 10mm sockets....

And when you think it's just a "baby face", it is really her with a sly smile from knowing right where she hid them.

Nice find!

Nothing like a couple of good old Hoes!

LMAO. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I couldn't find the pic I was looking for, but did find these.

For whatever reason I had a bunch of old computers to scrap, so at a year old she learned to help me. Then she realized her toys had the same screws, and started taking them apart too.

A few years later, at age 4, she helped me build my teardrop.

She's 20, and a junior in college now.

...she helped me build my teardrop.

Teardrop?

Teardrop?

Yep. It’s 16 years old now. Towed about 40,000 miles or so, including a fair amount of forest roads.

Next punch list item:

The driver's door switch cluster had a couple of issues with it.
The mirror left/right selector knob was broken.






And the switch for operating the passenger window would only roll the window down and not up.




I found an identical match in my spare parts box I have from Suburbans we've owned in the past. This one is from an old '98 GMC Suburban we bought back in '05.




Removed the old...




And installed the good one. All works perfectly now.
