Garage
The (long string of exploitatives deleted) air filter is back in place, and new filter is installed. Dang what a pain in the arm that is. Getting the two back clips on really requires an anorexic man with 6 inch fingers. I have been called a lot of things, but anorexic is not one of them. I beat anorexia long ago. I have lots of bruises and scratches on my arm from fighting those back clips.

The oil filter is back in place, and the tank is refilled with 10 quarts of oil. The mess is all cleaned up and the trash is in the bin. The heater duct work is back in place.

Oh yea, I went ahead and cleaned all four wheels "while I was in there". It really helps to take the rears off for the valve adjustment to have access to the rocker arms.

I went for a "test drive" but the weather is just ideal for working in the garage. It is only 69 degrees so I could not get the oil temp above 185. The oil level is right on the center mark.

The cars are back in their proper spots. I did have to crack open one of the bosses Erdinger Dunkle beers and enjoy that as my payment for three days of work.

I am super happy I am not a professional mechanic. I would starve to death with my slow speed. I always find some "while you are in here projects" cleaning the wheels, cleaning the rocker panels inside and out. And cleaning up some spilled oil from my last oil change when changing the oil filter.
