    Time change

    Years ago I'd move my clocks and mindset on Friday. It seemed easier to adjust mentally for getting to work Monday and by the middle of the week I was more or less in tune.

    Can o' worms 90 degree oil filter adapter

    Bought this car 5 + years ago and drove home 120 miles +/-. This adapter always leaked but valve problems reared its ugly head before addressing leak not to mention cooling issues.
