Phew,

The car show was fun. Got home just in time for lunch, and then the boss's wife had me in the back yard cleaning filters on the Koi pond. Then she "let" me help her put the Koi pond cover on. It keeps out 99% of the fall leaves. We keep it in the attic all summer. So haul it down, unroll it, put it in place and then the fun part is getting out all the concrete pieces to weight down the edges of the cover. We store those in the storage building in the corner.

Then she "let" me help her with the fountain in the front garden. Pick up a 500 pound (OK, I might have exaggerated a little tiny little bitty bit here) statue to get it off of the basin for cleaning. Get that cleaned up then put the statue on a concrete pad in the garden under a cover.

Then I finally got to play in my garage. Finally some real fun. The turn signal switch stalk broke internally. I just happen to have a spare on the shelf. Well, "while I was in there" I might as well take apart part of the crazy mouse trap of the steering wheel column and take off the spring plate. Both require special tools which I of course already have them. Been there, done it before.

So off comes the steering wheel, the cover plate and then the spring plate with the cool special tools to depress the plate while I get the spring clip out of the slot, and onto the special tool.

Dig down a few more layers, and find the hole where the wire goes for the control stalk. It is the stalk that I use for the turn signals, the wipers, and the cruise control. Yep all three and the wipers are two speed with delay and washer function.

It is all done, everything works like new, and I get to relax and have a beer. Happy times here and the bosses wife is happily watching football in the living room.
