Two new shoes for Toughie yesterday.
Goodyears as always.
Found a BIG screw in one after coming back from father's day dinner.

 

Took a ride to the Outlet Mall picked up some new tee shirts, then went to local mall, nothing really caught me eye, stopped for coffee then headed home. No noise in the front suspension today either, I guess that stray rock was the problem!

 

Got rid of an annoying rattle in Toughie today.
It appeared that the jack wasn't secured tightly.
Added several turns to the nut and "VIOLA" rattle all gone.
Only took me 4 months to find and 30 seconds to fix.

 

But it’s those little things that are so satisfying!

 

WARNING !
Being able to fit big objects in the back of an HHR will sometimes make you buy things on impulse..............

 

Ohh! That’s a nice pressure washer! Happy Father’s Day to you!

Today , I swapped out the front brake pads, and still the annoying clunk, slow speed turning and some bumps, after road test , I removed both sway bar end links, zip tied the sway bar up and went for a ride, no noise! No clunks! After I greased the links,I reinstalled them, same test drive route, noise was back, I checked my records, installed 06/28/2020. Moog K750012’s worn out in 35,000 klms or 21,747 miles.

it’s been a bad year for pot holes!

 

A pressure washer is one of those things that you borrow once from a friend to see how well it works, then you go out and buy your own because you wonder how you ever got along without one!

I can offer one piece of advice (from experience). If you are holding a smaller item that you are washing in one hand and using the wand with the other, make sure you don't accidentally bring the nozzle near a finger. It will hurt a lot and you will says some bad words.

Sweet, That will git-r-done...

A friend started his up to warm up the oil, for a change. But did NOT have the water hose hooked to the pump & water running.. Burnt up his pump.

 

Today , we’ll be rolling out to the farm, finish the barn door hinges, adjust the sliding glass doors in the sunroom and then stop somewhere for a coffee.
Last night we took the MIL out to our favourite restaurant along the Niagara River for dinner on the patio, haven’t been able to do that in 6 months.
