Not being sick. Mow lawn. See Halestorm at the county fair. As for working on a car, the closest thing besides driving one will probably be fueling up the zero turn.

Half day in the office to pay for the challenge car. Then engine and fuel system into challenge car have to go to the Upull for a fuel pressure regulator first.

Yard work.

I did change the water pump, serpentine belt and tensioner in my wife's Highlander last weekend.

I fixed the "dogbone" engine mount with some 3m window weld. I have a new one in order, but hers was completely torn. A bit more vibration at idle, especially with the A/C running, but it's livable for the time being.

We're doing the K30 still. Going to hit the junkyard in the morning to grab all the little bits.

Change plug wires on DD Honda if usps comes through. Bleed brakes on the Frontier. Nibble at the large stack of firewood with the splitter from the two trees I had cut Thursday. In other words, nothing fun!

Finally cleaned and organized enough to pull both mr2 spyders in the shop. Hoping to get some quality part pulling time in on the donor. Most of my time will be spent with the family. But I'm hopeful that there will be a few spare hours.

Relocating the place where I've worked since 1/2004 to a new, much larger facility. Did 13 hours of flat out ass-haulin' packing and loading and moving and unloading. Got probably 13 hours tomorrow, and some more on Sunday. Am probably too old for this E36 M3. Oh well, stuff isn't going to move itself.

Halestorm FTW....Saw them for the first time in 2010, and about 5 times since.

I am flocking the center stack on my Porsche 924 and doing some wiring on that car. Also fabbing up a custom toolchest for our rally events with Jim.

Weekdays is billable time to jobs. Weekends are when I get to do things that all company owners do. The grunt work that keeps the company running.

Woo thermostat is in. That took exactly twice as long as I thought it would and there is coolant and kitty litter everywhere on my garage floor.

I'm still unsure why Mazda recommends pulling the idler pulley and the Mazdaspeed guys talk about pulling the PS pump. Removing the idler pulley would have made things a little easier but at the expense of dealing with the a bunch of other issues and the bottom bolt above the PS pump isn't that hard to get to.

The spring clips are literally the hardest part of the job because I don't have the correct tool. Yet.

In reply to dean1484:

Just making sure. If you were processing batches for your accounting software I was going to suggest that we talk. I do understand all the joys of small business.

Bicycles. Lots of bicycles. Finish up a Cannondale SuperSix Evo build for a local racer, replace a carbon fork on a nice road bike that made an unexpected departure from its car rack at 70mph, fix a zillion flat tires. Tomorrow is fixing the landscaping where the well repair guys had to dig up my front yard. But it's nice to have running water again. I might wash the Answer if time allows...

I'm between jobs. So yesterday, I rolled the fenders, finished installing a new soft top and FINALLY got my fancy-ass new seats bolted into the Miata. This weekend I'd like to.....drive it.

Hook up wide-band O2 sensor on the fox mustang in preparation for a track day next Wednesday and gather tools for a trip to the pull-a-part on sunday (assuming it doesn't rain).
