I think Ben is good on Inspiration there Oldblue, he's probably just trying to find the Bijou in the snowdrifts.
Enough of this Winter stuff already.
My HHR herd/fleet is staying parked today, I've got Michelle's Fiat 500-C because it needed the carbon blown out of it. Some things never change, just like in the 70's, these new Fiats respond well to an "Italian Tune-Up".
With apologies for being politically incorrect in using that term, but little Italian cars just seem to need the snot driven out of them, or they get grumpy.

I just got back , Old Joe chickened out of driving the Buick today, used the excuse it's to cold to drive it, and I spent a week installing a Heat defrost and A/C in it 3 years ago just after he bought it!
Well we did have a laugh and a coffee , and so it was a great meeting!

First real service
So today was the first nice day above freezing for weeks here in Pennsylvania. I have been waiting for a nice day to do an oil change. I also changed a rear turn signal lamp. I replaced the factory speakers, fronts have generic 6x9's and rear have some realistic 8" midrange because I had them laying around. I also tucked away some stuff under the back carpet to tidy up.

More sit and wait, in my neighbourhood people seem think shovelling the snow and ice out of the driveway and onto the street is a bright idea! This results in six to ten inch mounds like super speed bumps across the road, very tricky to drive thru as you try and avoid their cars they parked on the street 'cause they couldn't get into their driveways!
Oh well it'll melt in a week or two or three!

Washed the HHR a week ago, then got 6 more inches of snow. I think the weather has a holding pattern until I wash my car. Other than that not much new, Ron is going strong still. Just waiting for spring to be here. Great to see everyone doing well.

Yeah, it's about that here, when you call city hall, the bylaw officer suggests you reason with your neighbours, or in other words do his job!
Today it was off to the hospital in St. Catherine's for a stress test and later a follow up eye test, man I'm beat, and tomorrow back to the hospital for another CT scan, yea!!

Let us know how you make out on your test results Oldblue, we'd all like to see you get back to 100% my friend.
As for me, drove the '06 to work, flew to Trenton and back, then drove home.
Somewhere in the process of swapping the new "used" RF door onto the beast, I've introduced a rattling squeak in the cabin, and after a 44 mile round trip...it's driving me mad!

Still on our Mini-Vacation in Asheville NC. So my HHR's are waiting patiently for our return as I get used to my "Company Non-Car". KIA Soul 1.6 GDI's are most definitely not built with hills in mind, oh it'll climb a grade, but it ain't happy 'bout it.
Meanwhile, back home in Kannapolis, my Mom has been using the '06 Daily Driver to haul our son around during her legendary marathon bargain hunting expeditions. The poor kid is going to think that Target, Belks, and Sam's Club are"home".

Just 25 degrees here so another see the sunshine but can't wash the car day! I have to wait for my test results anyways , man the waiting really is the hardest part!!!
Last night we took my mother in law out for dinner and Sweetie had to swerve to the right to avoid being hit by a pickup that did not see the woman walking pushing a baby carriage, we went thru a deep pothole and now we have a new clunk in the right front, I'm hoping it's just the sway bar link!
