I really enjoy the replies/pics here for some reason.
Nice cedar/ "catio".
Had to google 2010 HHR, Yikes , that's the way most cars/trucks rust Geez, the stuff I've done and got planned on my '95 truck I feel like I should've/ might as well have gotten a '69- 70something...
My "abusive" wife was at work all day, called DMV for 1/2 hour speaker phone wait (with music) this AM .
They told me I had "forwarding" needed to go to post office to submit my address (I never had "forwarding").
Dragged kids to post office, the manager told me I needed to go to other post office near me.
I got sort of ticked, explained I went there because near me there's not much English spoken. The first generation asian american manager got all offended and told me they DO speaky english!
I had to explain well it's not so much the employees but the people in line learning english words ...
Went to other post office, the manager there (also...) went in back about 20 minutes and returned told me there;s no hold on my mail OR forwarding BUT the regular mail carrier was on vacation and she left a note to make sure to deliver my DMV mail (this time)...By then it was like 2PM.
I was really trying not to have an attitude after hearing nearly everyone's license gets lost/not sent on first attempt due to some scam out of Richmond (DMV headquarters) they get sold or Used to vote, thought of somebody trying to vote hillary w/ my license was...
I was JUST about to change out one of my idle (air) pilot jets I got last week, and it started raining pretty hard. Had tools out and all.
Just after abusive wife got home.
One of the tips on my (20) pilot jet was broken off noticed when I cleaned carbs.
I put it in the outer bowl so I can probably swap it w/out removing carb even (Mikuni RS).
Probably will just to see/check condition again.
I get real crappy mileage and my idle gets to 3000RPM sometimes, and then other times it's perfect even the whole ride.
Figured changing the pilot jet was biggest concern.
Planning on adjusting the screws/ synching too but I really just want to ride it and mess with even the small stuff when it's cold out...
My bare metal tank gets too hot to touch when I park at work, maybe some/lot evaporates too(?) thinking.
Wow , long stupid reply but already typed it ...Urgh! still raining NO riding time I was headed to shop to see IF mechanic there can tell me which clutch master I have so I can order a master cylinder diaphragm.
Test out the new pilot jet.

I had some unplanned work yesterday. I was doing some work on the '81, had the seat and tank on the floor. Under the exhaust hanging from the garage door rails. You can guess the rest. Got out my "As seen on TV" trusty Ding King and glue gun, the one before they got all plasticky. An hour of work and it looks pretty darn good. Pulled off a bit of paint, but 1/8" of filler and it is good...It needed a repaint anyway, so no real harm. There are some amazing PDR tools now, watched some hail damage repair videos on Youtube.

Vacuum that floor before you track that dust everywhere!
I always keep the work space clean. You let that build up and it becomes a cleaning disaster."Only fe' collected the old way, has any value." from His Majesty O'Keefe (1954 film)

Typically its been sand, clean up, recoat. The fan runs during sanding and pulls air into the room from the gap under the door keeping a most of the dust from escaping into the hall. Minor sanding tonight, a final check then prime..... then trim work.sigpic

Getting paid is good. You can leave it at the end of the day.
Doing it evenings after working all day, plus commuting..... blows.
Im thankful to have the ability to handle most home projects, but it sure cuts both ways at times.
Paying a guy to do doors, windows, and outside trim work this winter was...... good.sigpic
