WHEREAS Sunday is the LORD’s day, the Sabbath. (If you’re Christian…If you’re a Jew, you wonder why Lazy people won’t work on the first day of the week)
WHEREAS activity on the Sabbath not centered on God is cursed.
WHEREAS I can foul-up any “30 minute job”.
WHEREAS Whitney’s car hates me.
RESOLVED by all members of the Sunday-is-for-football-and-naps club to cease any and all automotive repair activity on Sunday.

That’s the long way of saying: Whitney’s car has a leak on the front of the engine, somewhere under the intake manifold, and it leaked out an annoying amount of oil right after I put on a fresh PureOne oil filter and 4 quarts of 5w30. Three big rainbow spots on the driveway (fresh oil + rainwater…pretty colors!), and dollops of it on the garage floor.
The car’s currently sitting in the garage with a diaper: A makeshift pan using a doubled section of aluminum foil, filled with oil dry. Checking tomorrow to see how much leaked out overnight…
In hindsight, maybe I should’ve selected a thicker stock than FIVE WEIGHT!
Yay.
