Today's wins and losses...

Lately I've been finding myself "keeping score" of daily small victories and failures.

Today's win: Got the 911 through smog check with only three tries.

Today's fail: Made pizza for dinner but after I had sauce on the crust I found that I was out of mozzarella. Had to use the bag of shredded Mexican cheese blend....

How about you? You winning today?

My V8 conversion S10 radiator sprung a leak . Ordered a new one and installed it yesterday along with a new dual fan setup . Everything installed and fired her up . Happy to say no leaks and the fans come on as expected . I will take that win

Wins:
Got a good offer on our house.
New barn construction is ahead of schedule
Loses:
Back and hip pain is relentless and a huge energy suck
Tried to put a Motor City pizza in the oven. I was just holding it by the tray it comes in. The tray collapsed and dumped the whole thing upside down in the oven.

Win: I got the El Camino washed, waxed, vacuumed, and interior cleaned. We had very wet summer, and every time I was ready to wash it, the forecast was for more rain. It is clean now, so the rain can come.

Then I put it on the lift and tightened the exhaust manifold bolts, as I had heard a slight exhaust leak. I don't know how or why they loosen up.

Loss: My legs are sore from lots of deep knee bends, and one large arm bruise. If I scrape my arm against much of anything, my arms will show up a bruise. My dermatologist says it is because of sun excessive exposure and old age. The good news it it does not hurt, but my days as an arm model are over.
