It's almost Monday, so I'm going to weigh in with two things I'm proud of doing today - firstly, emotionally fraught email, which I talked to Peter about and replied to before the weekend was over. Secondly, making the critical step in doing my oil change of admitting that the filter hosting couldn't be removed by normal means, and having the confidence to destroy it with hammer, cold chisel and grips. Engine block undamaged, new part due by Tuesday, masculinity thoroughly performed. The toughest and most important part of the job was having the courage to just give it a go and accept the consequences if it went wrong.
