Yay! The 2007 Expedition lives again. I was able to replace the camshaft position sensors and the ignition coil for the misfiring cylinder and it's purring like a kitten. Whew!

This will definitely feature in a #3GoodThings list.

We successfully moved all of our non-running vehicles to the same side of the garage today!

This is something I've wanted to do for awhile, as it keeps the public parking area clear and allows us easier access to the tools in the garage so we can hopefully get some of these vehicles running again. If the weather will ever cooperate, that is.

Big diesel goes chug-chug-chug-chug, heh.

Also maybe I should just buy the right tool for this particular job... ​#motorcyle #shadetreemechanic
I am so sore today. It took like an hour of crawling around on the ground to get my bike's recessed oil filter off yesterday and I'm paying for it now. Curse the dealership for over-tightening literally everything ​#motorcyle #shadetreemechanic

Well, it happened again. I broke my tool to take the locking lug nuts off my #VW. The sloppy mechanics used a torque gun to tighten the lug nuts, just as I've told them NOT to do for twenty years. I still haven't met one that would listen to me...

How's your day going? I'm outside having a ball (joint replacement).

2015 #VW #Mk7 #Sportwagen plugs. We got it with 65k miles, sitting at 103k now. Probably first plug change, no idea really. Car runs good. Just wondering if anyone has thoughts beyond the obvious "def time to change them!!" #shadetreemechanic #DIYtoDeath
