What did you do today non-detailing related?

This past weekend I did more furniture padding for our blind dog. He hit his head on something. My girlfriend put pieces of pool noodle on the dining room chairs but they don't stay put. Either they fall off on their own or he bumps into them and then they fall off. So I designed and cut yoga mat padding for all 6 chairs with a half piece of pipe insulation along the back of the chair that is indented relative to the legs.

I can vouch for the MR.BEAMS security lights. 8 months on the first set of batteries. When i replaced them this weekend the battery compartments were in perfect shape. So, they take the weather. No problem. Good weather seal on the compartments. And I like the fact they don't rely on solar power.

First big snow (8-14”) of the season forecast for tonight so I scrambled to clean out all the siht from my side that had been accumulating over the last few years as my old sihtboxes kept getting older and sihttier and I didn’t care about leaving them outdoors. Lots left to do, but at least there’s room for the new car, and I can charge in there too!

My daily driver is dirty and hauling materials from Home Depot…. Helping the widow of my best detailing pal (passed last summer) get her home ready to sell.
You cannot find trades people with time for interior painting. They charge a healthy price and get it everyday. I cannot let a friend pay for something I”m able to do.

My refrigerator has been making a squealing noise, off-n-on for a little while, but recently started getting more consistent and louder. It actually woke me up the past two nights and my bedroom is at the opposite end of the house from the kitchen.

So, I dragged the fridge out, cleaned all the dust build-up from the compressor, coils, etc., and then removed the fan and motor that I determined was the culprit. Took the motor apart, cleaned it, and relubricated it with some 5W-30 Mobil 1, reassembled, and now it's perfect. Silent!

I am honestly surprised the motor was even serviceable in this day and age of planned obsolescence

Good on ya...
 
Drove out to check on the house build and was surprised to find a five man crew from the electrical contractor working

They were trying to catch up from work missed this week due to the storms and were putting in an 8 hour day

I didn’t want to bother them or be in the way so I did a quick walk through and snapped a couple of pics

I took Mum Christmas shopping this morning, we got there real early so we could park near the entrance, she's 82 and not as mobile as she once was. Most places weren't even open, so we had a Macca's breakfast while we waited, I had Sausage and Egg McMuffin and a couple of Hash Browns.

Most importantly, I got everything I needed, so I am now completely done with Christmas shopping, and there's still a week to go. I've got work for the rest of the week, but then I'm on leave till the New Year.

My brother and sister in law came up from Launceston, we went to the walking track that takes you past Don river railway and the public pool then to the beach.

Had some hot chips by the beach and a ice cream later, went to mum's and dad's to pick some raspberries.

They drove back home the 1 hour plus drive and the car got peppered with bugs and guts
but it's the old 2004 daily Rav4 so NO stress.
 
Played with an early Christmas Gift as my wife and kids knew I was anxious to try a new-to-me method like this. Glarlic and Herb Pork Tenderloin. Came out super juicy and on-point taste wise.
