    Good morning CT.
    Up before the crack of dawn cause I went to bed early.

    Two cars in the last two days need engine rebuilds because of burning oil. I probably won't be doing them.
    I did bring my drill home (finally) and drilled the holes I needed. Now to mark and drill the other three. I'm putting my computer back together and I'm hiding most of the wires.
    Had to drill holes in a plastic project box where the fan hub will live.

    I did do a side job, an alternator on 2004 Acura TL, super easy and made a quick $50. Bought groceries and a box of "Death Wish Coffee". https://www.deathwishcoffee.com/collections/all-products

    Pavement is just a smooth dirt road.
    Although my paved road is not very smooth.

    I don't off-road too often, but in N.E. I find a pavement princess needs to be off-road capable.
    The deep water from hurricane sandy, 2 feet of snow in 2013, I've had to drive over & around trees across the road in various storms. Heck, Mianus bridge fell down 2 weeks after I stopped using it at 6:30am every morning - being in a tall truck might have given one earlier awareness. The easy route to downtown for me floods out every time we get a heavy rain. I was in Newport RI when Gloria came through - trees, phone poles, wires across the roads, had to make your own roads for a couple of days or stay put.

    The Taco lost its antenna to a tree limb that fell during a storm, still don't know how the windshield didn't blow out - guess the antenna acted like a limb wire.

    If a customer brought in their car to me complaining of a lump in the seat & I opened the seat to find a seatbelt buckle in the middle of the cushion - I'd be confused too. :rofl:

    I gotta think a harness would work out better in an accident. :-(
    A harness could be useful at the vet too - sort of thunder vest comfort.

    It's okay - it's the ref's fault you lost; how can you play when the ref's keep stopping play? :bananadead:

    Well yes I agree. But she was also seatbelted in with the seatbelt provided. 3rd gens have a a chime for passengers too. I will definitely use a harness next trip.

    I really should post a C'list ad for all my Christmas "vintage" decorations. Now's the time, but somehow it seems like work.
