I managed to get the bearing about halfway but then it wouldn’t budge any further. Finally took it over to a friends shop and in five minutes with a 20 ton press it was good! I’ve got the axle back in and now I’m up under Larry sucking out the old diff fluid getting ready to put fresh fluid in.

He and his son were working at his shop, so I came by with some NICE bacon cheeseburgers I made and some chips. We sat down to a nice lunch and then we went out to the shop and took care of my pressing issue! 😁 This:  Much more effective than this:  😂

I don't want to wish time away (it's going WAY too fast as it is!), but the lack of a garage/shop to work in has me looking forward to Springing Forward soon. I get home between 5:15 and 5:30, and sunset right now is at 6:30pm. In 12 days we'll have sunset near 9pm!!! Yay!
Yesterday, I managed to get the new master cylinder on, but barely started on bleeding brakes before it was dark. Didn't get to work on it tonight. Church tomorrow. Hopefully can brakes bled Thursday evening and test them Friday before going with our son to a college visit Saturday. Slow progress between all this life that is happening!  I measured the rod depth on the old and new MCs and they seemed virtually identical so right now I'm not sure if I'll need to adjust that rod.

Yes, progress and it is good!
But I hadn't realized that the sun is going to move so fast.  Seriously though, I'd forgotten we are going to Spring forward again, and so soon.

Days change by seconds near the solstice and almost three and a half minutes at the vernal and autumnal equinox.
You have to imagine light incident on a sphere.. ETA: do you play pool? Think about how you strike a ball with the cue. 🧐 This isn't a perfect analogy, but it gets the idea across..

I know that dance well, but 2 minus 1 is still progress!
