I do not know if I mentioned putting my Civic back together. I think that I did because I did the valve lash twice and it still seemed wrong. I think the issue was that everyone said to do it on a cold engine, but one place said that a cold engine will only meet specifications when cold. I finally paid Crazy J $90 to do it. I drove several miles through town, laughing almost the entire time, and then I started taking apart the dash to replace the heater core.

I did not mention that. I had a far worse time finding good instructions than usual. I think that I had five different guides, including the FSM, and all of them told me to pull parts that weren't necessary, while skipping important steps. I have all of the fasteners in ziplock bags with papers saying where everything goes. I was going to see what fasteners and cables I never needed to mess with, take pictures and notes of the reassembly, and use that to post a how-to.

However, that was several weeks ago, and I got busy setting up an office and trying to schedule sessions.

I really should finish that soon.

I share my bedroom. My brother keeps things in there for some reason and Mom is always putting things in there that aren't mine or at least don't belong there. We still have Dad's old treadmill and two bookcases full of his books. I do not want the treadmill, unless I can tighten the belt, it slips when I try to jog, but I like having Dad's old books.

I would love to hear my boss explain that he had a teletherapist in a third-world country--no, we didn't outsource, he is an expat earning the full wage.

A quick Google search shows many people saying how to tighten a treadmill belt.

Have a great night!
