What are you working on today?

Debating whether I should change the X3d's oil today, or wait a couple more days for it to warm up some.
Motul 8100 X-Clean+ going in the crankcase.
 
Today I changed the downstream oxygen sensor on my 2006 Toyota Corolla LE with 95,288 miles. Yesterday the check engine light came on with code P0137

That is sensor voltage low. It failed the scan tool diagnostic too

I changed it with a Denso 234-4233 which is the OEM part. The original one I removed looked like this:

Today I resoled a well-worn pair of Timberland boots. The original softer foam soles had dry rotted and were falling apart, literally coming of in chunks. I resoled them with Vibram’s best 100% rubber, chemical resistant hard soles. I had to cut the old soles off with a Milwaukee hacksaw and smoothed with a sanding drum on the drill press.

The soles were attached using Barge’s rubber contact cement plus 11 brads hammered into each heel.

It looks pretty good certainly passable. The boots were clamped overnight for the rubber cement to cure.
 
Well first I had to work on my ASE tests which I passed all of them I had to renew. Now I’m helping the neighbor work on his truck the oil sending unit keeps failing.
 
This week I helped my friend prefit a Mustang II style front end under his '49 Chevrolet truck project. The kit also includes brackets and leaf springs to update the rear end. He's using a drum brake rear from a '95 Caprice.
 
I restored the headlghts on my Gen 1 Tundra today using a White Diamond kit that was on clearance at Advance Auto Parts, for $4 marked down from $10. Here is the kit.

It is a single-use kit and was worth the $4. It has two towelettes covered with white paste that I suspect is a cleaning solvent and cerium oxide powder. Then after polishing there is a black sealant that seems to have a finer abrasive. You apply that and let it dry on the headlights then remove it. The kit came with a microfiber towel but I used my own.

I could see the yellowed plastic being deposited on the towelette

Going to rotate my tires front to back then swap out my rear brake pads for EBC Yellowstuff to match the fronts and swap out my front rotors for Stoptech Sport slotted to match the back.
