Yeah..so...just after getting the work done; a deer jumped right in front of me.
I decided it's not worth the hassle and expense of salvaging the title and paying out an additional $1500 above the insurance payout just to have something else happen.

The payout covers what i put into the clutch plus an additional $2000. Right now we are just setting money aside to safe up and hopefully the price of used cars will come down.

I should have went with my gut and replaced the car.

I would like to get a new car but it's just not in the budget.
Don't get me wrong, I luve my Honda Fit and it's gas mileage but it also got 211,000 miles and is 17 years old.
It needed a clutch and has been running a little strange so I bit the bullet and had the clutch replaced for $1700 .
The valve lash adjustment and spark plugs its due for, I'll do myself.

Yard work days approach

Well..with the exception of the big tractor which is still undergoing some restoration work; all the yard implements fired up and don't need much in the way of maintenance work. The little push mower needs an air filter and the Troy needs a fuse. Its started up just fine but I made the mistake of doing so with a low battery, so it blew the main fuse..prolly because I have a 15amp where a 30 goes so it could not handle all the lightening from the generator but that's my fault. It blew last year because of a small short, 15's where what I had. I could have sworn I picked up a box of 30's...

All together, up and running, copy is perfect.
What's to do ?
The machine has been offline for a while, I have to upgrade the firmware and double check all the image dimensional adjustments.
All minor things that you would do for any machine setup.
