Happy birthday, Vortex! Looking forward to seeing you!
I've done oil changes, belt replacement, starter, power steering pump, battery, brake pads (disc only, not drums), blower motor, spark plugs, ignition coils, oxygen sensor, rear shocks, and installed a couple tow hitches. Shade tree mechanic sort of stuff.
Productive! Be nice to yourself today!
EM is here. Matilda has been dragged groggily out of bed. Emmett is on the way. I have to run around and do shit all day.
So many tiny tasks!
Going to have to take it to a dealer before too long though to change the CVT fluid.
You should have them do some of the other items and take them off your list!
The most complex car repair I've done was replace a radiator with my sister. Mechanically it wasn't hard, but that thing was heavy!! Changed a headlamp in my jetta which was a super pain involving removing way too many things to get to it. Annoying. I no longer do anything else other than add wiper fluid. (love my Tesla and its lack of engine)
Late but heartfelt wishes for a happy birthday for Vortex.
I think Gud was saying he has done all that -- not all in one day (though, if anyone could, it would be Gud). I have not done any of that.
Today's productivity has been writing an email for the NP I work part-time for about our upcoming Mem Day 5k walk and doing laundry. Not bad.
Yesterday felt like Friday. Today feels like no day.
It's a long time since I actually did any work on a car. I used to help my dad bleed brakes fairly often, or so it seemed at the time, and I've replaced hoses and whatnot and changed tires on occasion but none of that for ages. I don't even take my car in for someone else to change the oil as often as I probably should (I feel like the recommended time is too short because I don't put a lot of miles on it).
My work day is draaaaaaaggggggging. Both because I would rather be done with working and heading to SF and because the cloud-based software I am mostly using is taking forever to actually do anything.
Will there be a link to the livestream tomorrow? I decided to stop in.(the political work never really stops...moving it back is not such a crisis.)
Sending tiny task~ma to David, and the same regrets that I can't be there this weekend. Sending all my love.
Happy birthday, Vortex!
And very, very belated thanks to Teppy on my DST mini-freakout.
