Fixed my car. How does that pertain to what I did for beer today? Well. No car=bus to work, which equals no second job, which equals no spare $$ for brewing, which of course leads to no beer, which leads to extremely unhappy me and unrest in the household. So $20 relay for the fuel pump fixed the problem (believe it or not, I'm not only a homebrewer but a fairly experienced home mechanic as well, with the power of Google behind me; yes I know how to do more than plug in a relay), and I have permission to refill the grain bins this weekend (within reason). Long ago when my first husband and I divorced (fairly amicable) he insisted I learn everything I could about maintaining my vehicle so I wouldn't be stranded; I've expanded on it over the years until I do my own oil changes, brakes, alternators, radiators, and small electrical repairs. Even did a water pump once. Last weekend I replaced the rotors and pads in my husband's Elantra, and did a very good job of it.
No worries, it's appreciated! Husband thinks the same because I've saved us a lot of $$ over the years doing my own maintenance and small repairs. We've had that thing for 11 years, worst thing that's gone wrong was the tranny had to be replaced two years ago. Other than that it runs great...although it's not technically a Honda, it's a rebranded Isuzu. Belonged to my best friend's dad until he passed, he put a new engine in it at 60k and kept it nice.
