Honestly I was mostly tired. I was in my garage and after the 3 hours of laying over the engine bay, my arms and fingers were really tired. Between working a full day before this, having a weak back in general, and the time removing the stock mani, it was about 11pm and I was really tired. I made the mistake of deciding to 'just do one more thing' before bed. That one thing was to quick bolt the new manifold up since I was already tired and dirty (kinda). That one thing quickly turned into half-installing it, removing it looking for a socket, spending 10 minutes trying to get the socket from between the block and the xfer case, reinstalling manifold, put all bolts in loosely, tighten down all but this now broken bolt. There might have been another half R&R in there of the manifold because of something else, I don't remember!

Anna and I made a semi-major decision that day, so I was gunning to get it done! More on that later....
