Trying to get my people motivated so we can go get steaks, beer for tonight lol. Steaks, beer and a baseball game all sound excellent right now. I want to get the steaks early so they can be absorbing the seasoning.
I was cleaning in the basement, and I found a real throwback 
It was a VHS of "How a car is made" featuring IQ Parrot as your guide
I thought I wore it out as a kid, but it still plays
©1995, so I'm assuming it was filmed in '93/'94 at Dearborn Assembly
Apparently someone digitized it
A must watch if you own an SN95 IMO
I believe there was also a version with more formal narration, not geared towards kids

Going to get sodas then go get steaks to cook later. I’m ready for a nap lol.
Cool video. At 12:00 it says the hood is made of plastic ... think it was actually some kind of fiberglass composite skin on a metal frame.

Just had dinner, wife and I are going to the Battle Darby Creek Nature Preserve and getting ice cream afterwards.
Taking a break from doing the PCV, coils, plugs, injectors and intake replacement on a 2012 Audi 2.0T. Easy enough job but some corroded bolts in the aluminum head.
Drained 4 qts atf from Flexy, refilled with 1 qt MC, 1 qt ST, 2 qts Valvoline- all merc V. Laying on sofa now trying to motivate myself to pack for my weeklong trip in the WV mountains that I am leaving for in the AM

Just got back from Kroger and The Fresh Market getting steaks. Getting ready to season them. Watching the New York Yankees @ Miami Marlins game. Go Marlins. I wish teams would get rid of these goofy city connect uniforms. Go back to always wearing your main or alternate uniforms. All the city connect ones look goofy as heck.
My new neighbor convinced me to do the OCI on his other car
Of course the second I get the filter off, it begins to rain
2020 QX60 (Infiniti Pathfinder), 8k, VQ35DD something that I now despise
The dipstick is a war crime, and an affront to human decency
YOU CAN'T GET A DECENT FUNNEL IN WITHOUT REMOVING THE ENGINE COVER
Typical quick lube nonsense, RTV over the over crushed Nissan copper crush washer
Cleaned all that off, fresh crush washer
Plain STP oil filter that was on WAY TOO TIGHT
Forcing said oil filter off made me brush against the already loose inner wheel liner, breaking the already loose clips
Let it drain in the rain, luckily it broke half hour later
The oil was significantly darker and I don't think 5 quarts drained
OEM Nissan Gohner Oil filter, 5qts of M1 AFE 0w20
A can of brake cleaner, some washer fluid, some clips I found in the shed to keep the splash shield from rattling
The coolant overflow is EMPTY
I open the radiator cap, it starts bubbling (engines cool to touch)
I don't stock Nissan Blue, off to Advance for some Peak OE Asian blue
Fill the overflow, check the tires, vacuum the compost out of the cowl
Drive it ~25 feet off my driveway and back onto his
...at least I profited, so that's something
It's all ready for it's trip to Canada next week
How a barely 3 year old car with 8,000 miles become such a minor burden
His Highlander last weekend was child's play in comparison

Teaching myself the Life Skills never taught in school, and I shudder to think about what the youth learn today.

Just left Walmart. Had to get some electrical stuff for the lights on dads truck. Going back later to get a new coffee pot and some other stuff. I hate the ghetto Walmart lol. Had to get a two pack of lighters because they didn’t have a single lighter. We like the pocket lighters. They didn’t have any fancy ones either so had to settle for red lol.
