I got to looking and had like 40 chickens. I let them lay and hatch. I kill 10-15 every batch. We mostly freeze them. I decided to try canning them. I put 10 chickens in a bath canner pot and cooked them on low for a day and a half. I then deboned them, then canned them. I processed them at 10 pounds for an hour and fifteen minutes.

I've had a check engine light on one of my cars for a few months. Checked it out with an OBD reader and knew it was an O2 sensor at the back of the engine. Really didn't fancy changing it as it's at the back of the engine and most people recommend removing the intake manifold for access. As this weekend might be one of the last sunny ones of the year I decided I should just get it done. Ordered the sensor online, arrived fine. Yesterday I set about tackling it. I found the sensor, unplugged it and managed to attach a slotted sensor socket without removing the intake manifold. Then set about a gruelling 3 hours of knuckle scraping, elbow bashing fun trying to unscrew the damn thing. Gave up in the end! This morning feeling fresh I tried again... undid it and had the new one screw in within 2 mins :D

Every single time I try to avoid dismantling an engine bay for access and think I can just manage I always regret it and the job ends up taking an extra 3-4 hours :(

While using one of my other cars last night I heard a grumbling noise from the engine bay... looks like I have a noisy water pump. So that looks like a job for next weekend :\ I hate doing water pumps!

When I was young we canned chicken and beef. Cured the pork mostly. Made lard. Those days sucked...

Lol


Water pumps are cake though unless you have to lift the engine on an import. Even still it ain't much extra work (even without a cherry picjer)

Now srh talkin bout doin head gaskets like it's a thermostat swap.... Youbspecial @srh88

On some vehicles, I would rather do a head gasket job than a water pump.
