I'll start. Repaired some items. Replaced my Timing chain cover. Old one had a crack around the damper seal area. I installed a 93 Vic cover on my 02 explorer block. Perfect fit if anyone is doing the swap anytime in the future; the 96+ covers have a mismatched bolt hole. No more leaks  While I was in there, I checked my timing components because I was having some noise in that area. The right side timing chain had quite a bit of slop in it!!! The tensioner must have been going bad and not able to hold pressure. That is on an engine with about 34K on it. Scary. I just happened to have a used one laying around. Thank God the chain didn't jump a tooth. Replaced it, no more noise so far. oil change, used motorcraft 5w20 syn blend this time. Cleaned vac and washed the vic.  Now a sparkling Golf Ball  I will tell you, I think that tensioner was affecting my performance because it feels like it picked up a few ponies

Drove to work and back. Brought home a whole house filter system to install (damn iron in well water). Picked up my daughter from 7th grade soccer (she won 6-1).

Drove her to and from school, had a mini-meet with Mike/1bad96svt at said school, filled the tank with 93, washed her, shined the tires, unintentionally experimented with a pothole to see what my car would look like as a lowrider. Pics... Exciting, I know.

Drove to the mall to get cigs. Avoided detection by the gestapo. Home safe, thank God. $666 in fines saved.
