In the days gone by, one day leads to the other, an endless trip and loving it.
On the car, Old ox sensors out without too many problems for my 1st time doing it. Going back with the new ones, egad. After about an hour of trying to get them started by hand and having no luck, I decide to get the car up higher and on jack stands. So, that happen and moved the ramps out of the way. But, was starting to be hot and worn by this time so stopped that for the day.
Next was grass cutting before the rains. Had to do the lots next door with the Craftsman self propelled mower as it was just too wet for the Dixon. Did something I had not done in the 14 r so yrs I've had this Craftsman , left the gas cap off or didn't tighten it enough and it fell off and I ran over it. Sheesh! Made it un-usable for sure. And, On all the way, made the engine suffer for gas, on loose had gas coming out from the cap. Luck was that I had the bad stuff done so did the last 10% with the Dixon. Then our front yard with the Dixon.
Found a cap on Ebay and ordered it for about 6 bucks, The Craftsman site only had the whole gas tank for sale for 50 bucks.
Took the next day off from working on the car as I was a bit sore from crawling and fighting with the ox sensors trying to get them started.
Next morning , went at it with a different approach of trying to get all straight and holding with one hand and operating a box end wrench to get the threads engaged. Worked! Both in finally after about an hour. Took a break and took the car off the jack stands. Took a test ride about town for a bit and no Service Engine Light on and car running smooth. YES!
Did notice that the left front spoiler I had glued back together broke again. Oh well. Maybe later , I'll replace it. See they have replacements on Ebay.
In the following days, took the car out for more ride about and is running better than has since Ive had it.
Had to give a morning to Da Truck and wash it and really clean the interior as had been ignoring it since all the work on the car.
Put more rat poison out and saw some had been ate at the shop door. Good deal, Something was getting into my Dog Treats so we are stopping that. Did kill one with poison in the garage and didn't fine it till the smell led to it. Yuk!
Worked on the Back Glass mechanics today on the Car, Cleaned, lubed, fixed broken plastic protectors on the Targa storage system. All is good. Then waxed the back glass and side windows front and back. Cleaned and lubed the gas cap door also.
Gas cap came in for the Craftsman and put it on and mowed the back yard yesterday so all is good there now.
Took down the light under the carport that had quit working and cleaned and service it and painted, Back working now but going to wait till wife has her carpenter do what she wants before rewiring and putting the light back up with it's separate switch .
And, that about catches me up till today so , till the next. ;-)
