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

Picked up a new to us car for my wife to drive.... bought during the week, and had it detailed up etc ready for Saturday morning collection.
An all gas (ICE) Toyota RAV4..... in metallic blue ...lots of sparkle in the paint...almost looks purple in the sun. Super respectful Salesman and the car looks awesome.... wife loves it. I drove the soon-to-be-retired Toyota S/W home. :)

Looks like a proud man right there! Congrats Rog and Mrs Rog! :thumbsup:
 
Pissed and moaned about damaging the brazed in drain bung on the Satellite radiator.
Procrastinated about draining it (if necessary) and removing it, and finding a local radiator shop.

That's not considered "working" on my car, is it?

Pretty sure it's solidly in the "not working" arena.

If you pull off the lower rad hose you'll achieve the same thing
 
Cleared out the lift bay. Ceiling is coming down tomorrow to fix the lack of soffit venting causing mold to start forming.

Never get rid of your back up. Tractor dead this morning and -29c. To add insult to injury, while hooking up the battery charger I noticed a mouse nest on top of the block.. reached in to get it and flipped my wedding ring somewhere. No idea where it went hood off, more parts off, inspection camera out and still can't find it but after 4 hours at this temp I gave up for now. Guess it's the fuel tank and other parts next, what a clusterF. 98 plow truck fired right up...

That sucks - the definition of a crappy day.

Hope you find your ring and get everything running soon. :thumbsup:

Lost a wedding band several years ago out in the shop I think....or either that or the X took it with her. Wouldn't put it past her.
Cleaned more snow. Did our MA driveway and the outlaw's late yesterday. Today we cleaned the NH driveway.
How far is the New Hampster place from the Massachewshits place??
 
Years ago we were out playing baseball in 10 acres of dirt farmland and my wife lost her wedding ring. We all looked for about an hour and couldn't find it and gave up. My wife went back out to look again and walked right up to it.
