Save me a burger and burn me a hotdog!

 

left the HHR at home today, took the GT to work today, hey Mike enjoy that vacation, rest up for more OT when you get back in June!!

 

rotated tires, adjusted the rear brakes, all is well

 

Backed the HHR out of my garage drove about 100 feet power steering light came on hard to steer, turned the engine off and started ran fine awhile it came on again, the fuse is ok maybe the power steering motor may need to be replaced.???

 

Washed mine yesterday then drove it to a funeral. My uncle passed away, he was 97 on Wednesday and died Thursday morning. Another WWII vet is gone. He had a good life.

 

Don't know if they were the originals, but, at 106,100 changed the front brake pads on my '06 2LT. They were close, but, could have let them go a little longer.

 

Installed a new canister vent valve (the near the gas tank one). Easy & cheap on a 2011, $18 part no $45 pigtail needed, because 2010-2011 has the "new" harness already.

I forgot to blow through the new one to compare, but the old one was either normally open or stuck open. Maybe I can find a 9 volt battery laying around to test it.

Updates in this space _________. Tested it; normally open, lots of dirt inside.

 

Installed K&N air intake, and JET Mass Air Flow. Super simple install and certainly noticeably louder but all good

 

Cranked up the silver one and headed to The Gathering Of The Streamliners at the NC Transportation Museum in Spencer. 26 Streamlined Steam & Diesel locomotives gathered together, from Norfolk & Western "J" #611 to the only intact and running Alco PA-1 in the U.S Nickel Plate Road #190.

I'll be days going through the memory cards I filled with photos, as my wife pointed out, I'm a odd site when I've got "my train geek thing going on".

 

I think everybody at one time in their life is a "Train Geek", I like steam engines myself.
