Evening all :thumbup:
Feel satisfied with what effort I put out today,,, at least up until early afternoon.
Blood drawn first thing, Got a 'script filled on the way back, a few other stops/errands 'tween getting bloodwork done and returning home. Then decided today was the day I was gonna replace the distributor's cap n rotor on the Silverado(been getting uppity when it gets humid)Missed the old daze when that job was a simple/quick lean over under the hood, viola!. Cap/rotor at the back of the engine, partially hidden by the firewall, add in my OFR-ness and 3x spinal fusion surgeries,,,, and that meant one knee on the truck's battery, one hand(when I could) on the alternator, right leg on green and left hand on another Twister color:freak:
, and then trying to reach over/under/around to swap out the parts. Sure glad I jumped ship from being a GM stealership tech shortly after high school to the wonderful and rewarding:rotflmao: career as a spark chaser/PLC-automation fixer/programmer/and everything else related to wanting to electrically shake hands with ya,,, cuz I can't imagine I woulda lasted long(with my back /bod) leaning under hoods, climbing under dashes,,,3 new wiper blade inserts on Blyth's car(no brainer of a job, but made for good brownie points with the missus
), and replaced a band saw blade wheel and the "tire" for both blade wheels(band saw blade rides on the "tire" ) Black walnut pickup, incoming storm front helped drop a few extra instead of waiting on regular nature. Timed it right as not to get Kabong'd in my gourd by 'em,,Told myself no hardhats this season
. Assisted Blyth in some of her fall gardening stuff, mucho bulb planting along with end of season flower gardens tending to.
That took care of 8 am til 1pm,,,then a bunch of other stuff until the rain actually decided to show up. Luckily the brunt of bad weather passed to the north of us, 5-6" of rain is not my idea of watering the grounds here. So far got just enough to say it rained decent, and will leave the extreme storm and flooding warnings to those north of me.
Paying the price for my Silverado Wallenda imitation/ rock wall climbing/trying to do work in the truck's engine bay(while being ON said engine)Imagine I'll be even a lil more sore come morning,,,,
Shop needs a good cleanup/organize, so that'll be first thing on the to-do list for tomorrow,,,,Tried putting stuff back after each job/chore today,, close but not 100% compliance , at least I tried :thumbup: .
Hope everyone had a great day!:thumbup:
