Changing the valve covers on a 2004 Cadillac CTS is one.  What a pain in the a$$.   The PVC system on the car freezes during the winter causing pressurization in the covers which compromise the seals which fills the spark plug wells full of oil which causes misfires on multiple cylinders.   To change the plugs on the car you almost need to go as far as the valve covers.   Took me from about 10:30 to aobut 5:30 to get that done.   Hopefully the gaskets in the covers stayed in place.   I told Taylore I will do it one more time for warranty if needed but after that we junk the car.

The other is hauling limbs and logs at the boy's house to the chipper.  Good thing my heart is working good now as his driveway darn near kills me walking up and down it.  To make the day a little more interesting, his truck rear differential $hit the bed and he had to use my little old F150 to return the chipper.  Who knew the damn thing weighs 6000lbs (big chipper).   At least he has a buddy to help him rebuld the rear differential or I am sure that would be a third thing I don't enjoy.

Cardiac rehab this morning was a breeze compared to the weekend Wink
