Did some cutting to fit the nitrous fuel tank. Just need fittings, lines, a pump and a battery box now.

Just finished changing the spark plugs for the first time. Relatively easy job. However, I did learn an easy trick on my own. After hand-tightening the new spark plug by hand and finishing-off with ratchet, the socket would pop-off and stay down in the cavity. This took several times if removing and starting over. I then sprayed just a touch of WD-40 on the rubber piece inside the socket. Problem solved! The socket came out every time after that. 1) did not gap them 2) did not use anti-

Big difference

PittKrew- Very Cool. Nice tip.

My ratchet extensions have a button on the sides that locks the socket on till you push button to quick release it..

Today took a cruise to sisters house to do some rent-a-husband jobs.
Followed by lunch a Villa Luna.
Then back home for a nap.
I'm loving this retirement gig.

Saw 105,8xx on the odometer on the way
home from work on Friday. Didn't get to many miles between mid
May and late October. Seems to be purring
along no problems. Fine little panel wagon....!

Morning all ! Gave the HHR a much needed bath yesterday :O Then a 45 minute drive to one of my son's to get my tools back :) Figured since I swapped my winter tires to summer tires this spring I only put on 3500 miles :O SO my HHR has been neglected When I get my snows put back on next week I'll have them change the oil early. I use full synthetic so I am way early lol but it has been in there since early spring plus it is cheap insurance ! This will be season 2 on my Cooper Snows and have to say they are great winter tires even with out studs ! Have a great day
