We got just a little rain here in San Jose the last couple days, while up in Sonoma County they got 20 inches in the last 48 hours. The town of Guerneville is a lake right now.

I'm beginning to see the dead end portion of my career path. Trying to peddle towards it faster but don't seem to be making any headway.

So for my O2 sensor issue, this is what the service person texted me just now:

"If you can drop off early on Saturday, I can have it done before the end of the day if there are no hiccups. I talked to the tech who will be working on your car and he said there's a chance of a complication which in turn meaning it'll take longer."

What kind of complication could there be? I don't have any header or exhaust modifications other than the axleback, and I haven't made any changes that would obstruct work that I can think of? The only engine bay changes I've made are a strut bar and the silicon inlet tube thing.

Wait. Oven door windows are only rated for four hours?! That explains a lot!

He responded with:

"So if that sensor can be removed without taking off the mid pipe, it can get done with no issues. If he has to take off the mid pipe, this one stud is notorious breaking when that mid pipe is removed. So he will then need to extract the stud and install a new one. That part takes more time."

So I dunno. Never heard of that being an issue myself.
