The Lack Thereof 
I have to change the oil in the van. I'm not sure if I'm functional enough for this, but it's got to be done.
Grabbing some mental strength from Folgers
Bonus! While putting away un-put-away tools from my last trip down here, notice in the screwdriver drawer a set of little hooky-pokey guys I bought to make fishing the o-ring out of the oil filter housing easier, and had since forgotten about.
I distinctly remember writing the drain plug head size down SOMEWHERE so I don't have to carry half the world out to the parking lot.
Everything I need is now neatly arrayed out in my parking space.
I hope when I move out of this place it's to somewhere with a garage so my tools and vehicles can be in the same place. Or at least with a shed near a driveway.
One of the wheels of my jack keeps falling off because the circlip that holds it on broke or disappeared a year or two ago. PITA.
It was 14mm, btw
One of the things I miss a having a functioning olfactory nerve is being able to tell the condition of the used oil by the smell

I've never heard of this brand before but it says "high quality" right on there so it must be.
Walmart won't ship the store brand anymore and was sold out of the Fram, this was the next cheapest.
Interestingly, no country of origin written anywhere on the filter or its packaging. Which, if I understand applicable trade laws, means this was produced inside the US by a company with no expectation of ever exporting product. Tariffs! Bringing the important, high skill, high wage jobs home. Like manufacturing oil filters.
Done! It only took me two hours to do a single 15 minute task

You are to be congratulated, lacktherof.
Based on the "next larger time unit" rule, this task was supposed to take 15 hours, yet you nailed it in only 2 hours.
Walk tall and proud!
(Next Larger Time Unit rule: For accuracy in estimating the amount of time that will actually be necessary to complete a task, increase the unit of time from the original to the next higher one.
For example: Seconds = Minutes
Minutes = Hours
Hours = Days
Days = Weeks
Weeks = Months
Months = Years
And so on.
Corollary: If a boss has given you a deadline for how long you are allowed to complete a task, apply the NLTU formula, then double the answer for an accurate quantity of time to get the job done fit for purpose.
