electric relaxation

I played physician’s assistant this weekend while Dustin replaced the radiator in my car with a new one I’d had delivered to his house. We also swapped out the old battery for a new one, since I basically killed it by letting the car sit without starting for four months.

Fortunately, it turns out that the radiator swap was way easier than I had originally anticipated. It took only a couple hours to complete, and we didn’t even really need to consult the service manual. I still don’t really get why folks online claim this is a five-plus hour job. Hopefully we didn’t skip over anything crucial. At any rate, the Z rides again, so I’m going to enjoy it while it lasts.

While we were at it, Dan replaced the brake pads in his car, aided by a modicum of encouragement and much heckling from the two of us. Photos here.
