Sorry Dw, I'd forgotten about the suicidal deer incident, silly furry buggers that they are.
My "did" for the day was winding in a new set of Delco 41-103 Iridium plugs into the '06, 402,750 miles and counting on the Daily Driver.
Then I rotated the tires while daydreaming about my new BendPak lift, not a great idea using an I/R Industrial Impact Wrench while daydreaming. You do Really Dumb things like forgetting to switch from forward to reverse and snapping off the very first stud you touch.
And this is why I keep a box of Dorman 610-254 studs on the shelf, your Admin does stupid things sometimes.

It was more of a brain fart Oldblue, embarrassing but easily enough rectified.
Thoughts of how much easier life will be with a lift, caused my brain cell to overlook the old "Righty Tighty, Lefty Loosey" deal, but the "crack" of a breaking wheel stud broke my revery.
At least the stud broke off flush with the hub so there was enough left to clamp in the bench vise and spin off the lugnut.

No worries there Mike, was a few years ago now.
Guess my did for yesterday.
Was being a bit of a bad owner to my panel.
Pushed it out of the garage in the rain that changed to some
snow. While i sat in the red wagon rolling news papers.
It had some snow on it when i put it away and now the temps have
fallen down to single digits this am. Bad bad owner

No snow up here , just rain and 48 degrees!! Maybe today a ride in the country and a stop for a cup of coffee!
I refuse the drive thru theory at Timmies, but Sweetie can't go into the restaurant because her immune system is so low from the chemo, so I'll pick up a couple of cups of Joe, then head out to the Niagara River and watch the swans , it's migration season for them!

Today, I've started laying out the lettering for my business on the back window using chromed vinyl decal, though it'll probably be a couple weeks before this project is completed.
Also picked up a 211-2 LED festoon replacement bulb to go in the trunk area last night. Will get that installed next break from cutting out the lettering.

My Didn't's Were almost as important as my Did's... 
What I Didn't do is drive it on the salty roads or even take it out of storage...and I won't till spring, which could very well be May in this God Forsaken part of the country...
What I did was install the new Vanity plates, which been laying on my computer desk for a few weeks now...I also found out my 46 piece dark mahogany Wood Dash Kit shipped from the manufacturer on Saturday so it should be here today or tomorrow....and I made the 40 mile drive up to the upholsterer to finalize the plans for the front seats...they should be done this week as well...
