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

[YY1]

Reduced drag. EPA MPG requirements.

Yep.

PITA if you need to do something in that area.

This past weekend we had a cottage rented near Huntsville, ON. At nearby Arrowhead Probincial Park there is a 3/4 mile skate trail that is lit by tiki torches. The 3/4 moon created shadows on the ice from the tree branches. It was very, very cool.

Squirrels got under the hood of my son’s Explorer and feasted on the wiring harness. I had to section in a handful of wires and re-wrap the harness. Any idea what can be done to prevent this from happening again? I wrapped the repaired area with foil faced tape, much like dynamat. I’m thinking pepper spray on the harness, but if anyone has other suggestions I’d love to hear them…

Dryer sheets around the engine bay. Bounce works best, but any will do - and they smell better than mothballs. Just don't put them anywhere so hot, they could flash-burn. Pack around the inner fenders, under harnesses, around the battery, along the firewall. Old RV trick to keep critters away....

Had some chips and a beer while hanging out at the beach.

There has been an over population, infestation, of squirrels in the neighborhood that i live in.
There isn't any predators for those little critters, and they breed like heck.
Got really pissed off with them, so i went and purchased a squirrel trap off Amazon to get rid of them.
Trapped 8 of them, the past 10 days or so, and haven't seen any more in the trees, back yard, fences, so i think i got rid of the herd.
Been relocating them about 3 miles away, down by the American River, that goes thru my city.
They now have a new home, without killing them.
Get yourself a trap, and i use wall nuts as bait.
Seemed to have worked well, in my case.

They'll be back next week with their new friends from down by the river.

Na, they never will get across a major city street, 2 lanes each direction, without getting squashed.

Took the wife for her next MRI scan. Hopefully the cancer is gone.

So how is everything going for your wife?

Spent the day trying to finish up the honey do list that never ends.

 

[YY1]

Patched holes and painted in rental #1.

The lady that lives across the street in rental #2 wants to move to #1.

She agreed to clean both houses.

We'll take that!

Right now the brain MRI came back good. No new growth and previous cancer lesions are dead. The docs are very happy. The 1 spot on her lung is still shrinking and very manageable. The hard part is we finally decided to put the Charger up for sale to cover medical bills. It amazes me what you get charged for and what Insurance companies won't cover. I keep telling her that the main thing is her health and that's what matters to me. We can always get another classic car. Thank you very much for asking.

Your post is good news except for the part about selling your car, but this ^^^ is the most important part of your post.

So glad to hear she is doing great. Cars come and go. I would of sold my Bee in a heart beat for my Lori but God had other plans. God Bless

They'll walk right over the road on the powerlines and bring all their friends.
