Unlike diesels, gasoline particulate filters shouldn't be much maintenance.
Reminds me of when Volvo put some catalyst on the outside of their radiators and found the air behind the car was cleaner than the air in front of the car. I don't recall where the tests were done, but LA wouldn't surprise me.

Sorry for the bad spells. It is hard to reason with a disease. Do something nice for yourself.
We had a nice soaking from the atmospheric river yesterday, about 10% of our annual rainfall, with blustery winds. It is always nice when the downspouts, gutters, and drains work. We have most of the gutters with leaf screen filters now, for ember protection, which helps with leaves in storms. The driveway drain is another story, but it is easier to deal with a coarse screen than leaves in the culvert and pipes. It was a great day to be indoors a with a window open listening to it rain and bluster. Luckily for us the wind direction was hitting the other side of the ridge, so we could hear the wind, and see the tree tops being blown around wildly, but at the house, we didn't have much wind. Very cozy.
One of the cats turned up last evening soaked to the skin, and I mean soaked. I don't know if he was having fun hunting in the storm, or got blown into a water trough, or what, but he was so wet his tail was pencil thin. He seemed completely happy, but definitely wanted in the garage for the night before it got locked up. If only they could talk. He's mellowed as he has grown up; as a kitten he used to hiss and swipe at us when he first came here. He likes to be petted by my wife. He just watches me. I think my working on vehicles and around the shop makes too much unpredictable noise for him. Still, it is nice to have the company, even if he doesn't come close. His mom is a menace, so friendly and so underfoot that I practically trip over her, and has this skill of being able to jump and land on your chest from almost anywhere. I've taken to locking her out of the shop when I'm doing fine work. Plus, she's hyperallergenic to me. We have cats to keep mice down, to keep the rattlesnakes away from the house and outbuildings. Pets and cuddles are icing on the cake. Last winter before they got up to speed we had a pack rat into every single vehicle, and doing who knows what under the deck, beside poop sprinkles everywhere. I'm gearing up to screen in the underside of the deck. Keeping mice out is going to be an interesting challenge.
Not today.
Today is for on site projects near the house as I supposedly have a signature required package coming. The truck needs tires and a smog check, so that's going to have to be next week.
All the best,
Peter
