All three are sunning themselves because I needed some extra room in the garage while completing the tear down of Wifey's Civic Del Sol. The "good" news is that I'm getting very adept at tearing down Honda D16z6 engines, the bad news is it doesn't look like a blown head gasket. The head just left with my buddy from the machine shop, so we'll see, but I've got a cylinder full of coolant and a pristine gasket so I'm thinking cracked head...oh goody!
For the moment the "Evil Honda" will reside next to the garage with a shop towel and length of 2 x 10 replacing the head, so back to OT...time to give Boo Boo and the Spousemobile baths and details after a week of rain.

Washed up two of the HHR's and then fired up the grill for burgers and dogs while we had an impromptu "watching the pools get drained for the season" party in the courtyard of the condo complex. Yeah it's a quiet Saturday when 20 people watch pools being drained for excitement, its a Southern thing y'all.
Diggin' the hardware Rodney, congrats again on your wins this summer!

Draining the pool is exciting ,compared to watching paint dry. I Didn't drain it, just bypassed the heat pump for now. BBQed burgers for the folks, and walked by my SS to take the 740, more cush for the folks. Found reasonable shipping and got the solstice wheels heading this direction, where do I go for the extendo lugs and 15mm spacers, tips?
nice pile Rodney, When you starting the addition to put them all in ??
G B glad you have something to curl up in front of. We supplement with one of those electric fireplaces works well too.

Main furnace is dead...... totally dead and not reparable. Cost for replacement, around $4000.00 that I don't have, and won't have, so this gas log unit will have to do.
The house is 1250 sq ft but I'm not worried about heating the up-stairs too much and the unit I got maxes out at 1000 sq ft... as I said, it will have to do. I honestly couldn't afford this unit and it's a cheap one...... I really wish we could still build stuff like this in the US, I hate cheap crap from China but what's a guy to do? I guess freezing is an option. Fire is another. At least the "family" has fur.
Gotta stick with gas... electric is too expensive. This town has the highest rates in Ohio for electric and the city owned utility company is totally unregulated, they can charge as much as they please.

Got a spare tire cover and radio bezel from a salvage yard yesterday for my HHR. Went to Wal-Mart today and got a replacement carpet and some paint. I now have a painted waterfall, a rear cargo mat and an extra shelf for my ride. I was hoping to get some radio controls and fog lamps while at the salvage yard, but the steering wheel was broken on the one car that had them and another car had fogs at one time, but there was no front left of the car. Tomorrow it gets its weekly bath.
