A Very Productive Saturday

Well I am having a feeling of accomplishment from my productive day today. I refreshed the grill on my 22 year old RX300, installed an ac/heater fan in my daughter's Honda Civic, the original one in her car was making a ticking sound at low speeds. I found a replacement fan at Pull-a-Part and it is quiet as a brand new one.
The last thing I did today, I replaced the spindles on my LT2000 mower. It wasn't too difficult and now my mower is quiet, sounds like it has fans humming under the mower deck!!! Yep, it has been a great day
Have a good weekend everybody!!!

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.

Yes it feels great. I can always find things that need to be done of course, I definitely have enough things to do between my house and the cabin at the lake, I have projects for years to come.
Today I am hanging at the lake with family, time to rest.

They sounded pretty loud and did not spin very smoothly like the new ones.
I replaced the bearings in them about 3 years ago.

Had a nice relaxing day with family today. Lunch was awesome and there was a nice breeze so we ate on the porch. It would've been a great day to go sailing but just didn't have the time and my access spot for sliding the Hobie into the water is now in a housing development and cut off, dang it!!! We don't have a boat ramp except the one from the in ground boathouse so, I'm gonna see if a neighbor down the street will let me use their access ramp, Lol.
