Margaret's LR tire had a slow leak. Yes, same tire I pulled a nail from this past winter. I thought the plug didn't take (it's had this leak for a while). Plug was fine. There was a piece of metal stuck in the tire in a different place.

Why always the left rear?

Anyway, I pulled it out and plugged it, then tested for leaks. I took a pic with the thing pulled part way out of the tire:

But
before I even got to that, Steve showed up about 8AM with his new Miata. He bought some lowering springs for it, so I was recruited to remove the front and rear struts to swap out the springs, and re-install. Steve helped out quite a bit.

Right now i have no pics of that. Steve took quite a few, and promised to send them to me, so maybe I'll post them later and add a link.

Vern was there part of the time, plugging away on the DerbyBuick . He was still there when i left. And he bought us Pizza for lunch. Yum.
I'll prob'ly post a pic or 2 of the Buick progress tomorrow (today?).

I ought to take a pic or 2 of GrillZilla sometime too. It's a homemade grill by Sean, made from an old fuel drum and some other scrap. A day or so ago I added some stop chains to keep the top from flopping open and tipping the thing over (not everyone is as skilled as Sean at taming GrillZilla). I still want to add a wood handle, and a stainless mesh. I suppose until i find the stainless (maybe from an old fridge?) I can start using cooking oil to keep the rust off during non-use.
