Was almost to Sheridan last friday to get daughters jetta when the neighbor called and said there was water runnig out of my garage (sh t) he turned off the water, but it flooded all my tool boxes. So ended up making the trip all in one day 740 mi . So spent all day saturday cleaning up the mess . took Sunday off to go fishing , I needed it lol. I read the codes on the Jetta Sunday it had 7 must be a record.

On 98 S10, swaped thermostat, installed front license plate mount, lubed ball joints, inner and out tie rods and 2 other things I not quite sure what they are (need to have a side attachment on lube gun to get two of the zerks), degreased the underside of the engine that had a huge coat of oil and coolant mixed, and then washed it all down. Changed the oil and filter (2nd time in 2 days) as I am worried about foreign material in the oil from the LIM gasket replacement. It was below zero, I am thankful for the heated garage. With the front tires off was a perfect time to replace the spark plugs, but Wife gave me a warning in the morning to be home be 730pm or else (I rent the garage about 30 minutes from the house).
