I've done nothing.  I haven't had a day off since 5 days before this thread started and will be at least another 5 before I do.  And they are 12.5 hour days..

Took the newly repaired MX-5 to cars n coffee this morning.  Then washed it.  Then took it down to a local speed shop for dyno day.  (134 at the wheels! Go ahead and be jealous).  Followed up by gathering the fallen leaves in the front yard.  Time to relax a bit. laugh

Ripped out a sliding door and put in a free used pair of French doors I scored from my father in law when he enclosed his porch.

Still need to do the trim on both sides.

Preformed a leakdown test on the bike. Which it failed. 

Went to the junkyard and bought a horn. For no real reason. I may put it on the bicycle.

Maintenance on the parent's cars:

ATF, diff and transfer unit fluids on the dad's Ridgeline.

Engine compartment partition panels on the mom's X6. Can't believe BMW plastics would disintegrate like they did due to the turbo heat.

Was a nice day out and the routine maintenance was nice and straightforward.

Well, Don't really have a full day off this week. Flew in from Minneapolis first thing this morning. Did my laundry, repacked my bags for a week in the NE. Tomorrow is a flight to Newark and then some driving towards the philly area. Looking forward to next weekend and having some time to myself.

Took down the Halloween decorations, bought a used Ford 9" rear end with 31 spline axles, went to my sons soccer game, went out to Blaze Pizza for a soccer team pizza dinner.  Now it's time for a stiff drink, some quality television, then to bed (with fall-back DST sleep).  Tomorrow is remove the front end on the Odyssey for a headlight swap.

Saturday was a unbelievably awesome autocross in the G35. I'm not sure the car could have been any better. 

Sunday was spent with my parents. Church in the morning, and Chamber Music in the afternoon. It was a really great day. 

Pretty much a perfect weekend.

Did what I hope is the last mowing for the season! Including several really low strips down the hill for sledding. Cut all the annual plants down in the garden and dug up about 1/3 of the cannas. I’m not sure the rest will be dug up. We’ll see.

Deferred appliance maintenance.

Went to shop vac out the fridge condenser, meh. Why piss around... 100' air hose from the shop w/ 100 PSI don't mess around. Dust balls everyberkeleyingwhere. Shop vac sucked it up in short order, win. 

Bagged two mice in the garage bucket trap.

did yard work, went to Harbor Freight, installed two HF ammo boxes in the trunk of the rally car (to hold our tow strap and our impact gun), installed a couple fuel lines in the Porsche, cleaned the GTI's wheels since these OEM pads dust like a mofo, and put some tools away...

Test fit the new rims on the wagon, and verified tire size fitment. (My daughter got in  on the action.)

I'm really stoked about the new look!

Went to Icky-ah.  Needed a dresser.  Bought a couple of auto motive themed posters for the new apartment too.  They had a kinda cool tuquoise sketch of a new 500 on a canvas that I didn't try to find the price on.  This was the first weekend in the new place but next weekend probably get the exhaust off the SE-R.  No more excuses as all three registered vehicles are parked nose to tail outside the apt. now instead of 40 blocks apart.  Ah the joys of ample parking in the city.  The storage garage is still a seven minute drive though. smiley

Pulled down the last of my old boat shed. Ate a lot of food.

Currently sitting in a urgent care with my eldest (31). He managed to scope himself while sighting in a new .270. Needless to say he's not a happy camper.
