My car broke but it was a cheap and simple fix. I worked on the garden some more and also on the chainsaw mill.

I was driving to a neighbor not far away when I heard a loud bang and a grinding noise leaving his driveway. I limped home slowly and took off the tire. I found that the bolt holding the swaybar to the control arm snapped off.

The control arm was pushed down at a bad angle due to the shocks and was stressing the control arm bushing badly so I put a jack under it to keep off the pressure.

The parts were only $8 and some change for two repair kits. These include bolts and bushings.

I put on the bad side and then decided to do the other side as well. I am happy I did because it was very bad.

I was hauling fire wood to the back pile where I am cutting logs which need to be split. I am moving the big stuff out back and the small stuff I am stacking in the pile for this winter.

I never got to recording though because Ryan arrived. So I did an update this morning on the work I had done yesterday to top it off.

I also worked some more in the garden. I weeded out a lot of area to clear it and prepare it for mulch. Then I put down more mulch around the garden vegetables.

I sharpened the chainsaw chain on the lumber mill. I just have to get the bushing back in place and I can start cutting lumber for real.
