Tried to pull a DA guy that sank his F-350 out of a mud hole... Didn't work. During the process my Hi-Lift did the notorious kick back letting it down smacking me in the side of the head with the bar... Small headache. Had t get a wrecker eventually to free the truck.

Technically I did all this yesterday, but I was too tired to post:
Took apart the steering column to tighten the loose bolts that were making my steering wheel move all over the place. Only tightened the bottom 2 bolts and it worked like a charm. Today I'm heading to the store to return the $40 set of female torx sockets that I didn't need. Using the cheap socket driver that came with a cheap set of sockets worked perfectly and I couldn't get the sockets onto the torx bolts anyway.
Installed a new Grant Challenger Wheel instead of putting the old one back out. Everyone complains about getting the horn to work. It's not that bad, make sure to use the foil tape if you have a painted wheel and duct tape that spring onto the cap so you can line it up.
Had the windshield guy put the new windshield in. I didn't trust my ability to make it leakproof and the labor was only about $75.
Installed Russel speed bleeders and flushed the brake system. It was pretty milky and rusty. The old bleeders were rusty inside too. I wonder how long it had been.
Replaced the windshield washer pump wiper blades.
