Blue- Good luck on a new walk behind mower. New to many are not what the old ones are... Still running my 2006 Briggs Flathead, (wife is main operator) it has been super since we bought it new..

For our bigger parts, my Zero Turn is super.

PS: Had the HHR out running to get my gas cans filled with 100% gas for mowers. My HHR likes it too.

Thanks, I’ll try and make the new mower last 36 years , by then I’ll be 106 years old.

Today the HHR is parked, waiting for appointment to have that broken bolt removed on Thursday morning

Today, I changed out the exhaust VVT solenoid/actuator (12679100) since I changed the intake one a couple weeks ago. Let's see if that stops the minor oil leak I discovered. Also, I replaced the rear hatch lift supports. Thank you again, RockAuto!

2011 LS coolant temp was getting a little erratic, so she got an overdue coolant dump and a new thermostat (The Mahle I had in stock. Don't start, you guys.) Much better now. VERY stable at 180 in cool weather. Excursions in rhe range of 178-181. I suspect there is no 179 because I've never seen it.

We'll see what Summer brings.

Also finally got the new #2 O2 sensor in. No more P0138 & nuisance CEL. Yet.

Again today the BlackSwan is parked. The bolt I ordered arrived from RA , ordered that on Saturday afternoon.
I might wash it, but it’s already raining litely. So it a rest day for me.

Well Good luck on that. I mean some folks are mowing once or twice & it's in the shop.. I'd like to find a twin to my old B&S 22" cut

Funny...my dad just used the old Honda mower for the first time in like 25 years lol. An old neighbor gave it to us.

Still runs great. Just ordered him a new blade.




Got off early today and decided to find the exhaust leak in the base model. Hope that the $40 flex pipe and some new gaskets is all it takes! No problems with smog beyond that.



Does anyone know how to find out if my car is 2.2 or 2.4l? They are different on zzp website

The RPO code sticker in your glove box .

This morning, a trip to my old friend Mike to get that bolt removed.

That wasn’t so long 20 minutes and a little heat from the torches and the broken bolt is out! Now to clean up the threads and install the shock with liberal amounts of never seize slathered in it and hand tighten and torqued correctly.

amazing what a little heat can do ! glad it went easy, sometimes it doesn't...
