What did you do today....other than work on your car!?

Seems like I spend way more time looking for stuff than I do working on the stuff!
Yep....I spent a few hours this week looking for the tri-sided nut for my air-cleaner lid. Put it on my bench on Sunday while cutting a new stud. Went to grab it again and it was gone.
Drove about 45 minutes south and back to buy a new one.

Pro tip - put a nyloc nut on the stud at the bottom and tighten that to the carb/TBI unit..... that way if it rattles loose, the nut stays with the rod and shouldn't fall into a cylinder. I heard about a Mustang guy who fell foul of that.....ending up tearing half his engine down to find a loose nut in one cylinder.
 
One week until showtime. We’ve all been working very hard, and the kids are nothing short of amazing. This is the most fun I’ve had in years!

I've never seen a propane tank buried around here Don.

I've never seen a buried tank in Ontario..

.I have never seen a buried tank.

I buried a 500 gallon tank for a buddy, but I haven't seen it since.

Speaking of Chinesium & Christmas. Better half hung garland&lights out front. I did the electrical part. This blasted timer has to be 30yrs+ and still going strong. K-Mart.

Is that bluetooth?
 
Bolted down the lift columns today. Floor was not level so a couple of shims were needed. Ten bolts torqued to 125 ft/lbs would not have been a problem ten years ago. Today, they kicked my *** a little but they are bolted down and plumb all around. Guess I am starting to show my age a little (very little)! NOPE, I blame it on the wrench being so close to the ground that it was hard to get my back muscles to help! :)

Finished hanging christmas lights. Might add more. But just kicking back and enjoying a beer.
