I could do it again in under an hour taking my time with a coffee break.

@humfrz, the shop that did mine only charged me a half hour.

Sure! Sounds like fun. Let's do it after Reno.

I don't do it to get finished. I do it to pass the time while I get it just right.

Sounds good, maybe we can get @soulreapersteve to come down and we can have a tech day.

You and I will sit back on the recliner couch in my garage, sip coffee and tell back-in-the-day stories, while he does the work ......

Yep, it's pretty cool fer sure.

Although, retirement does have some aggravations:

* constant bugging by AARP for more donations

* NO, I do NOT want to prepay for my cremation

* I DO NOT want to sign up for any more optional medicare plans

* quit mailing me stuff about hearing aids ..... I know I can't hear well

* I sold that damn time share 30 years ago ...... leave me alone

* Yes, I would like the senior discount, how could you tell

* thank you, but I don't need help getting the groceries to my car

* for cryen out loud, get out from behind my car, when you see the back-up lights ON

* no, I don't need another eye exam ...... I need my cataracts removed and I know that

* ma-ma, slowly put the I-pad down and disconnect from Amazon Prime ....or we are going to have to have another ...... living on a fixed income talk

Then finding out that when you are young and making money, you have the energy and money, but not the time ....... then, after you retire, you have the time, but not the energy or money ......

My mechanic did mine in around the same amount of time.

I was just worried about opening up some of the holes thru the factory rust proofing but he did a good job. He sprayed some Rustoleum on those holes before attaching the panels.

-32C windchill by the time I get out of work in the morning. The car battery better be good to me then.

Where in the hell is THAT ......

Not to worry, your battery can't feel "wind chill".

You could always run an extension cord with a trouble light on the end of it and put it next to the battery ....... then cover the hood with a blanket .....

Yep, we used to do that, out in the country ..........

Rule #1 - don't work on your car after 6 beers

Rule #2 - squirt nuts with kerosene or coal oil before you start

Rule #3 - to take off most nuts, turn them counterclockwise (lefty is losy)

Rule #4 - you DO NOT need a 1.5" air impact wrench for most nuts

Rule #5 - if you "work out" or don't have a calibrated wrist .... use a torque wrench

OR

Do it the humfrz way ...... take your machine up to your local auto shop for the work, that way if Bubba twists off the nut/bolt ...... he has to fix it.

See ...... pretty simple ......
