I did an oil change today. This time I did the change when the trucks computer said to instead of at 5k miles. Halfway through the draining of the old oil I got a oil sample to send to Blackstone labs to have it analyzed. I will give the oil analyzed every oil change for a year to see any patterns see if there are any problems and adjust oil changes accordingly. 
I just wish I could get the oil filter off without making a mess. Using a gallon ziplock bag helps, but doesn’t eliminate it. Maybe relocating the filter will help.
I know the voices in my head aren’t real, but man, do they ever come up with some great ideas

Been dealing with a front end vibration for a while, finally got the upper control arms (and ball joints) swapped out for some mevotech’s. Also replaced the front axle shafts(CV joints were a little sloppy for my liking).
Vibration is mostly gone now, but now the steering rack has started leaking (most likely causes from the excessive vibration).
When funds allow, steering rack, tie rods, and wheel bearings are next on the list.

Added a last minute weekly addition...
Just the engine cover decals. Now I want that billet kit!
I haven’t dyno’d it since the decals, but I’m guessing 35-45hp and 50 torque.

I remembered I had one of them cheapo car vacs. The hand wand had lil bit
of silicone surrounding the opening and it was the best for removing dog hair. See this squeegee in Wally for about $5 and works like a champ

I’m going to do the filter relocation myself as well. I haven’t had to do the first oil change yet but it’s getting close.

I have an iPhone 7. I figured since I had always been an android guy that I’d try it out. Overall I like it. But things that **** me off...
Creating an album and moving pictures just makes a copy and they are still in all photos
Syncing pictures to your computer and resizing them (iMac) is just an event in hell
No monthly calendar widget like android.
I’ll be going back to android at some point.
I do like the Mac OS, but hate the default picture resize app. I loved Microsoft picture editor that comes with office. (I’m too cheap to buy office again for Mac)
Anyways, today Trixie gets another alignment to hopefully fix the cross caster that the first alignment shop didn’t address whilst trying to sell me a ball joint i didn’t need. (No i didn’t buy it). And I have to get the sunroof tint replaced as it caught an edge and is peeling. (Lifetime warranty)
Then some grocery shopping and spending money for gas. [emoji857][emoji857][emoji857]

I will quote Jeff Foxworthy from an act he did years back "I've got gas this morning!!!!!" In the 2012 that is.
