I am feeling run-down by working every day this week except one, yet I find it hard to relax. This leaves me in an interesting position.
 
Change all the fluids in your vehicle before the bad weather arrives. Make sure all of your brakes and tires are ready too.

Bang the dirt out of the air filter onto the cement and count how many particles you find.

Report back with the results.
 
Sleep in a little bit.

When you can't stay in bed any more, get some coffee and sit out on the back porch and watch the sunrise, or what's left of it. Sniff the breeze. Breathe deeply. Listen to the birds. Watch the wind in the trees. Smoke a cigar.

Let the worry rise out of you and blow away in the breeze.
 
Yeah, rest but only for a set amount of time, then get some real exercise. Beautiful fall week, go walking at liberty state park.

Then write out a written budget and allocate to plan your spending on the blazer and plans for a replacement in time. Report back.

Dont go buy stuff or waste money; but if you determined good chance of o2 sensor being bad, and you havent changed it, may be a good day. I can't keep track of your endeavours.

He's in the coffee biz, I think I would run screaming from the smell on my day off if I worked there.

But since he's fairly new to town, I suggest walk-exploring.
 
few more days left in our area of this great sunshine! Perfect weather. lay in the grass for 30 minutes and soak it in; that auta charge you up a bit.

If I had a camera, I would document this.

I actually do, but no service is on the phone..

I mainly have OCD about the Blazer, it is like "I know what needs to be done" but I have a LOT of difficulty getting up in there!

And I'd have to "lay on the engine" to get to distributor.. Even if using the curb..
 
I find that I do quite a bit on my days off. And that I get up earlier (and go to bed earlier).

I always have so much to do during the weekend that I have to get up around 6 to get everything done! Of course, getting up so early I find that I'm out of energy around 10 at night.

I've been getting up at 4:00AM almost every day for work (working in the GTA) for the last month

Usually get home late too, and the drive home, if you leave at 5 or 6, is insane due to rush hour on the 401.

I'll be glad when this project is done!

Still managed to take all the brakes off the M5 and clean/lube them and adjust the parking brake shoes on the weekend though

Sometimes I am productive on days off, depends on why I am off.
I had my first sick day with my new company yesterday, I was just underslept and in a general state of blah, and I sat around and played vids all day. And in this case, it felt like the right thing to do. If I am off because I booked it off, I often end up getting stuff done that I don't have time to if I am working.

Sometimes a laze day is good, sometimes you feel too unproductive.
 
Rotate the sparkplugs and change out all valve cores, and take out backseat and look for lost change..............
