Today's successes!

My other car got:

New headlights
New wiper blades
A new front corner light cluster
New brake light
An interior clean and vacuum
(All by me)

And then I took it for an oil change an inspection (I like to pass first time)

:)


I also got plant food and pesticide for my peaches. I installed the plant spikes and sprayed them, but the current torrental rains means I have to spray them again.
Still, not a bad days work!

:)

Hope you had a good day today as well!

Today's failure!


But I learned a lot!


One of my goals for the day was to replace the starter in my honda element. It went bad a few weeks ago (so it's good I have two cars). I was hoping to save $$$ and learn something as well. I worked on it for about 3 hours, and could not get the intake manifold out to reach the starter, so I decided to go back the way I came and get a pro to look at it next week or so.


These pics are my "breadcrumbs" that I used to put it back together. (And my now dirty yellow shirt.


Still, no shame in failure, at least I tried!

The Peaches are progressing!

The recent rains seem to have been good for them. I need to get some pesticide today,so they don't all get eaten!
