We also had a nice dinner (king crab was my favorite) and ended the day in the beach. Water was nice and waves were just enough to have fun in. Then I drove 2.5 hours home.

Cape May....... What an Awesome place!! I have been there a few times.

I know you didn't catch any of those King crab legs there though, Willie. Lol

I already had my pressure washer out to use on my truck so I thought I would see how it did on the sidewalk. It did good so now I have another project to add to my list, and after that the driveway. 😀

96 degrees and high humidity. Perfect day to work on adding Trex to the deck surface.

For the second time in 30 yrs of ownership the clutch rod cotter pin broke under the dash of my ‘81 Corvette, sending the clutch petal to the floor. Of course it’s the most humid day of the year.

I was picking up a friend for a Cars & Coffee and I was leaving his driveway. He did have a cotter pin and a pair of cheater reading glasses so I could see under there. With the help of my phone flashlight and a lot of squirming, I got it done.

Good God I’m not a kid anymore!!!

Cool. What do you plan to use on them?

I finally found a way to tie my spare tire down in my trunk. Yes, it’s 1 of the Detail Guards... I don’t really use them when washing my car, so this makes great use out of it.

Before this I had to deal with the tire sliding around and banging against the inside of trunk everytime I made a sharp turn or accelerated fast.

That's cool your spare is one of your rims, not missing a beat incase of a flat huh Rick

Definitely not.

The good thing is I’ve got AAA so if/when I get a flat I just call them to come change it. It also means I lose a bit of weight by not having to carry around the scissor jack and donut spare in the trunk.

A couple of days ago I installed a new battery in my key fob but it didn’t seem to make it work any better... It would only work maybe half the time and only if I was standing right next to the car. So today I took it apart again and cleaned every part of the inside of it. Maan was it dirty.. I mean it was at least 10x dirtier than any of the youtube vids showing how to clean it. Lol.

The good news is it works perfectly now. Even from inside the house about 30ft. away.
