You should have posted here, we could use another drain plug thread :)

As I was laying under the car, rounding it off, the thought did cross my mind.
And I ripped my rubber glove, and when I did pull the plug the pan wasn’t over enough and a bunch of oil got on the floor and my hand and made a real mess, probably the messiest oil change I’ve ever gone. 150k on the Subaru.
I think another wheel bearing is going, it’s starting to make that sound again.

Dennis, you reminded me of the previous oil change I did on the truck....
I usually leave the bolt and crush washer sitting right next to the drain pan.... except that one time, it rolled into some dirt. I took it over to the bench, took off the washer, and cleaned them both.
Then proceeded to take only the bolt back to the truck, and install it. Then fill the engine with 6qts of syn oil.

Then, when I saw that minuscule oil drip..... yep realized exactly what was happening. It was some quick hand movements and putting a washer on one handed.... fortunately only lost a few ounces, but did make a mess....

No shop time today.... just didn't feel up to it. Wind kicked up a bit, I think that played a part.... Spent the day making a few phone calls --- especially one to the Ortho center about scheduling the second opinion.

That didn't go too good.... the doc that my surgeon referred me to no longer accepts my insurance.... they told me they kicked the referral back to the surgeon. Wonder when anybody was going to tell me?

This is just getting ridiculous for sure! They don't know how stubborn I am, nor how I expect things to be handled effectively..... If they are expecting me to give up and go away ---- they have another thing coming.....

Enough of a rant...
I hope everyone has a nice evening!

Don I think I asked the question poorly. Can you talk with wife in Spanish and use the Spanish you have already covered in app correctly.
She can, I can't, she is years ahead of me. She has been taking numerous neighborhood Spanish classes and is about 60 units ahead in the app. We are starting to substitute words/phrases as we talk. It's hard to pick up the verbal words but if there is closed caption I do a lot better.

Went to till the garden and the gas tiller would not continue running. Time to go battery power with an EGO tiller attachment.

Hang in there LS.

Bird, Happy Birthday!!!

Good evening all. 29ºF for the start, partly cloudy, light breeze. Light to moderate wind, mostly clear sky, and high temp was 60ºF. Putter in morning , then trip to Fort Wort to retrieve my fish finder. They said it needed updating, from their description sounds like OS needed refreshing. Wife cam along so had lunch at Applebees, gas up at Costco 2.99/gal., 2 weeks ago gas was 2.65/gal :( Did get bike ride in, Trek needed some TLC, should be ok in morning.
Buppies good to hear you and wife are home safe.
Ron good to hear groceries good. Sorry about shingles shot side effects. I have heard turf tire better for for snow, but never converted 1700 due to cost of new rims and front tires/wheels.
Drew glad delay only about an hour, no coffee really bad.
Bill I believe you. Plowing snow for me was the challenge to plow on open station tractor.
Thomas sorry about long day, snow control sounded like a lot of physical labor :(
Frits thanks for update on GD. Sorry about GD not taking meds, hope someone can convince to stay on them.

Good morning, the temperature now is 26 and the high will be 19°F. Wind W 16 gusting to 25 mph. Snow. Snowing right now. The weather guessers said 2-5cm which is a cats whisker under 2". So far there is 3" on the railing and there is another 5 hours left in this cloud according to the radar. No doubt about it, I WILL be plowing in the morning.

I didn't expect to be up this early and wide awake. I will go back to bed in a hour or so for a couple more.

Have a safe day all
