It’actually quite easy. I put 600 sq feet down of 2.25x3/4 oak last year. This room easy wall to wall carpet with 3/4” particle board subfloors over plank. Pulled carpet and PB up and put down the hardwood

Looks very nice. Lemme know if you ever plan on an extended stay in Central Indiana. Got some flooring that could use your touch.
I recently bought a sheet of 1/4 inch UHMW and crafted 2 linkage guards for my 2 dirt bikes. They aren't perfect but certainly good enough for the intended purpose. Saved a ton of cash vs. purchasing aftermarket pieces. And wow, this UHMW material is super tough, perfect for the application.
Now I'm using the leftover scraps to craft another little guard to protect the exposed and vulnerable coolant hose below the right radiator on the Yamaha. Sorry I don't have any pics of that, yet.

Dropped my 3500 off at the dealer for some warranty work. Had noticed a leak between the transmission and transfer case.

Just finished relocating and re-installing some Oracle Cloud at Customer (gen1) devices for another customer last week.
No pictures, most customers don't want photos of their data centers published.

Today I changed the PCV valve and PCV hose on my 2006 Toyota Corolla LE with 95,433 miles. It took about 25 minutes.
Here are the parts:
After taking off the engine cover I oriented the new hose for fitment:
The original PCV valve was shot. It did not rattle at all. Here are the new and old:
For the end that attaches to the intake and is exposed to the elements I bought a new clamp too. Here it is just before I reattached the plastic engine cover.
It needed a box end wrench to replace the valve, because I did not have a 22mm deep socket.

New battery in a bird, ready for cold Winter starts. 10 years on the last AGM Concorde, cannot complain.
Good view through the fuselage too; control cables, static plumbing, emergency transmitter, frames and a bulkhead, etc.

Today I added a seat belt extender to my Kubota diesel tractor. Tonight a blizzard is expected to dump 10”-14” of snow. I have a new Polar King two piece set of insulated bib overalls and insulated coat but wearing it over regular clothes it is very bulky, and the seat belt is no longer long enough.
I bought this for $10 :
The seat belt attaches underneath the tractor seat. Tractors are easier to work on than cars.
It’s a 17mm socket. Once removed and the extender installed in its place, it looks like this.
Then I used a 17mm box end wrench and the included hardware to attach the other end of the extender to the original seat belt receptacle
I covered it with a piece of duct tape to cover the hardware.
Done. Took about 10 minutes.

Second stain.
That kinda looks 'distressing'. Great job!
