My son was here for a few days. I came down the driveway on the Kawasaki mule and he saw the rear wheel wobbling. Only ONE lug nut holding the wheel on! When he went to town, he went by the Kawasaki dealer for lug nuts. Not happening, had to have the vin number. he left to go back to New Mexico. I finally made it by to present the vin number. Did it have the original black wheels? Nope, it had aftermarket. Oh, then this wont do any good. Surely they didn't swap out the studs too? Don't know.
OK, meanwhile back at the ranch....... I soaked down lug nuts on 2 wheels, hoping to get one off to take for a match up. I bought 2 new deep socket sets, 1 metric and 1 standard, plus a new 1/2" driver. It took a 11/16 socket. I couldn't break it loose, none of them, even with generous amounts of PB Blaster. A friend came over, he also couldn't break one loose. Another friend came over yesterday with a torque wrench that doesn't torque anymore, so he uses it as a long handled driver. It broke free! Then he used the impact wrench to get the lug nut off. Now I can go match it up and get new lug nuts on the wheel.
I have to take my sister in law to the doctor this morning. Then 2 appointments tomorrow, one is for physical therapy. Then she can learn to walk on her new prosthetic leg. This has been a very slow process, she is bored to death, sitting around waiting on the next doctor appointment. She makes grocery orders, we go by and pick them up. then cigarettes at the tobacco barn and whatever else she needs. It is an all day thing. if I need something, I go back the next day by myself so she doesn't have to sit out in the car and also her walker takes up the back seat in my little car, so no room for anything i need. She doesn't need groceries this week, so I may run in and get dog food, that's three 50 pound bags, I can get them in the trunk. I'm almost out.
