I been meaning to buy a thread gauge or even better, one of those boards |
| 23 |
like they have at Lowe's that is really nice to use. It has all sorts |
| 24 |
of sizes and threads. Anyway, I just keep putting it off because it is |
| 25 |
one of those things I won't use to often but it would be nice to have. |
| 26 |
It'll work its way up the list eventually. |

At the moment I got some good screws to mount hard drives and they won't |
| 29 |
mess up the threads so that no screw really fits. ;-) |

P. S. I also replaced the crankshaft seal, timing belt, drive belts and |
| 36 |
did some clean up from a oil leak my old car has had for a while. While |
| 37 |
doing that, noticed the cam cover was leaking as well. I replaced it |
| 38 |
too. The old one was hard and brittle pretty much everywhere. It was |
| 39 |
leaking and may have been the leak instead of the crankshaft seal. I |
| 40 |
know the camshaft seal was leaking when I replaced them a year or so |
| 41 |
back. Given the recent increase in temps, I also added a few ounces of |
| 42 |
R134 to the A/C. In the middle of that, the blood donation bus showed |
| 43 |
up. It's been a busy week. I'm beat. |
