Changed the oil & filter on the Subaru , such an easy vehicle to work on, while under it checked for any sign of leakages none at all absolutely bone dry & clean as a whistle now on 45,123 miles low for a 2005 year, SWMBO is still adamant she wants a Toyota Aygo will wait & see..😃

I can see one of two things happening with the headlight unit.
One: It will be removed, cooked, fixed and replaced.
Two: It will be removed, cooked, not fixed and will leave a substantial dent in the kitchen wall.  ;D

Replaced o/s/f droplink on the Omega as it had a split boot. Annoying knocking noise now gone.
Cleaned  / rustproofed and undersealed a couple of small areas where underseal ahd been damaged while I was down there.
Then mowed front and rear lawns, and thats my batteries run out for the day.
Spot of lunch and a cold beer on its way.  :)

Have had the same electric mower, of a brand I cant even remember for at least 15 years now. It makes the grass shorter when I move it over it, and thats the extent of my gardening knowledge.  :)
