It also probably causes a huge itch with all of the guys that say you absolutely must prime your filter each and every time you change because you never want it to run dry or the engine will literally explode.

You cannot prime a top mounted filter. I mean, you can try, but you won't get the results you want lol

This car has 257,000 miles, and I promise you this thing has never received a primed oil filter. I bet the bearings are in great shape. I bet the rings fail long before the bearings do.

Nope. H22A in a Prelude. There's no way to get it from the bottom, unless Gilderoy Lockhart just "mended" your arm or you are Mr. Fantastic in the flesh. You must get it from the top.

The H22A4 that comes in base Preludes has the filter on the side. It's much easier to reach, but you will spill. This top mounted filter on the Type SH drains back to the pan every time you switch the engine off, but it's a real pain to get to.

On the plus side the top mounted filter was kinda nice. I didn't have to worry about spilling a filter's worth of oil on the garage floor.

Not like it matters because it already leaks. But hey, we take the good with the bad.

Shhhhhhhhh

We ignore little things until they're problems. Tis the broke bitch car guy way.

Yeah, it's pushing thirty years old. We've got some deferred maintenance items to tend to. This isn't my daily lol

And no I totally don't blame the techs and mechanics for super snugging filters. I was pissed off an hour ago, but now that I'm on the other side of this job, I get it.

I mean, I'm still pissed, but I get it lol

You have fifteen minutes in the game, son. Go score a backrub or whatever they call it idk I don't coach football.

I've heard of punching screwdrivers through them. I didn't have any screwdrivers I wanted to get oily since I use those on my PC. I did grab some oil filter pliers from the parts store and those finally did the trick.

I won't use them much, but I'm sure they'll come in handy again one day

Lmao yeah I just grabbed some oil filter pliers from the parts store. That did the trick. So many interference items just for an oil filter. I got maybe two degrees of rotation with each squeeze.

 
 
 

I'm also willing to consider trading for a dirt bike.

I'm telling anyone who will listen that while modern cars may be objectively better on paper, these 80s and 90s Japanese cars had something you couldn't measure. I think the same applies to American cars from the 50s and 60s. I dunno. Call it soul, I guess.

Joking aside, I hope that poor bird is okay.

Only 70? You need to drink more water.

There's one of these, a Hi Ace, and a Curren that run around my town in Oklahoma. I get that these cars are/were regular traffic in Japan, but it's so cool to see them here.

 

But not for his food.

 

I'm a dinosaur who still uses optical media. Y'all just watch. CDs are gonna make a comeback in the next 15 years.

Telling myself that helps me sleep at night.

This is the DVD I burned with my roommate's laptop in late 2012. The hard drive in my laptop crapped out. The local repair shop couldn't recover my data, and the sticker with the key had been worn away too badly to read. A Windows 7 license in the day was really expensive, and I never heard of buying retail keys. I definitely didn't know enough about piracy to find a cracked ISO. At this point, I'd heard of Linux, but knew basically nothing about it. I just assumed it was for wizards with beards two meters long who stay at the tops of their towers reading ancient tomes and channeling the spirits of lost zeroes and ones.

So I bought a disk for my laptop (fun fact - that thing lives in my super slim PS3 now) and dove headfirst into Ubuntu just because at the time, it was said to be the friendliest distro for newcomers. The thought of using bash scared me at the time. Great times. But in my mind, the best way to learn sometimes is to have no alternatives.

 

I still like the look and feel of GNOME a lot so I spent a little time putting it together that way. I want a simple desktop with small elements to maximize real estate for windows. I also use the small taskbar on my work computer for the same reason. But with my work computer, I do show window titles because I usually have at least 5 workbooks open at once so it's nice to see which is which when I need to switch between them.

I love KDE's application launcher. It feels very Windows XP with the way it sorts things. It just makes complete sense.

Century Gothic may not be the most readable font in the world, but I think it has an old school charm to it.

 

The orange dog is a dog's spirit in a body that looks like a cat. Don't be fooled.

 

Not sure if it's a life pro tip, an ADHD pro tip, or a cat owners' pro tip, but I've forgotten food in the microwave so many times after putting it there to keep my cat out of it, it kinda hurts. I always allow my food to cool some before putting it away, but these days, I use a microwave timer to remind me. It won't shut up unless I go push a button. And while I'm in there, I might as well clean the rest of the kitchen. Since I'm up.

By the way, I woke up to cat barf on my countertop. How's your morning going?

 
 

Or, as my wife said, sun's hot.
