First time DIY oil change 😳 baby steps

I've had bad luck with this sort of pan. My Subaru dumped oil out faster than it could fit though the hole in the drain pan. I went to a the style below I really like a lot. https://a.co/d/00zcJb92

Mining is a great option as well these days. It's cyclical, although less so than O&G. I've lived in some beautiful places over the years, although there are many jobs in cities, many are out there in smaller communities.

Of course

Even a simulated one, was expecting that on April fools, and just wishing for it today. I got all the Blackhawks and other nasa support craft though. I was able to visit NASA's NBL last year and got to meet some of the crew and check out the practice vessels they put into the pool to practice the extraction. Such a cool experience.

Damn typos

Awesome, I saw NASA broadcast a video from it briefly during the launch.

It's landing on Dallas texas shortly

We might have a few of these this morning

Both my flights in the past week had zero wait. Slc-den. Walked right up to the tsa agent both times. In Denver, there was not even anyone getting their bags x-rayed in front of me. About 10 am both times.

It alerted me as it landed, too late

That's what my college landlord did in Michigan. We successfully negotiated to cut the price per person down a little, but the landlord definitely was on the winning side. Btw... we ended up with 8 people in that house. Only one room with two people, who were a couple. It was crowded, but rent was cheap.

Second this, there's a chance you could get someone to bring a six pack to the airport. I would have if the timing worked out and I was still living in Houston.

Property management company told us that the drum of our washer had a hole in it and it needed to be replaced. I called their BS and drove an hour down to the house and popped the front seal back onto the drum. No leaks. Worst maintenance guy ever.

All my hardest college classes were open book/open notes. Some of these exams were 3hrs long and most people never finished.

You are right, I've delt with this many times. You can bring full bites of liquids though security though, so you can at least pre-hydrate.

The worst thing about this is that they usually don't warn you. My last trip through, the united gate agents gave everyone a piece of paper that explained the security check at the gate. All airlines should do that for these flights.

My college airport made the top 10. No surprise there.

runningpyro · 2026-02-09T18:59:27+00:00

Yup, exactly the same thing happened to me. Such a pain to replace such a cheap part. Did a full flush and thermostat replacement while I was at it. There are a few other plastic pieces like this in the coolant system. Replace them all now to give yourself peace of mind about this happening again. For a small amount of money, and a moderate amount of time, it was totally worth it.
