I never mentioned it but yes, N. American CAFE bullshit. Nowhere else in the world does Toyota mandate 0/20 for that engine, nowhere. Same for other manufacturers as well.

You’re a perceptive future Idahoan 😂
Haha
I took a PTO day and spent the day on the lake. Tore them the hell up. For frame of reference, that bowl is 10” in diameter.

Agree. Timing kind of sucks as those were recently moved to yard shoes(not brought inside).

These are still in the dog walking stage:

Before filling that up, wouldn't it be better to add some wood so it's 18" at the bottom tier? I'm not seeing the purpose here in 4" for the bottom tier other than you wanting show off your amazing ass.
Hey man, I'm just the carpenter. I build what I'm told to build.

They didn't have Blantons or EH so I grabbed what I could. The smaller bottle is a barrell pull from RD1.

Man it’s nice to have slaves, er, I mean kids 😂

while I was taking care of wife’s car, son sanded deck with 120 then 220 grit. Swept it off & applied 2 layers of transparent waterproof sealer.

Wife’s car got engine, transmission oil changed, cabin air filter (have to remove glovebox & take 1/2 the dash apart to do that stupid job) & tires rotated.
View attachment 104146also took samples for oil analysis

Got both UOA & VOA samples back yesterday. Strange they don't test oxidation on the VOA. Would have liked to measure the rise from baseline. This oil is pretty heavy in Group V ester's & AN's for solvency & additional dispersants. These ecoboost engines are VERY hard on oil & this one gets short tripped 90-95% of the time with my wife driving it. Someone that spends at least 50% of the time on a 25+mi hwy commute could easily run this in an ecoboost for 10-15k mi intervals with great results. I've seen guys run these HPL oils >30k miles and just changing the filter every 5-10k mi & taking a UOA every time they change the filter to track. Those were on engines that are easier on oil though (Toyota MPI & a Chrystler Penntastar).

Anyway, here's the results:

I was a 6-pack deep last night of thick craft porter after 30,000-step day.

I ask my kid "hey, are you opening your new business tomorrow? Why are you laying around? What's your strategy here?"

'Oh, I just figured I'd borrow one of your canopies & a table & put them in the Honda'

No materials, no signage...no plan.
So I'm emptying trailers, truck, cleaning tables tipsy AF until 2 am to get up 4 hours later.

I'm proud of her, but no chill Father's Day weekend at the rodeo for me.
This is what a Father's all about TBH.

Day 1 of her new company.
