My stress level is decreasing. Partly because the house is due to be sold. Part is because weather is cooling down and has been more humid. Even rained a decent amount last night or this morning!
I was going to replace the broken window in the car. Removed the frame. But I cannot remove the glass itself. Which tells me I would have the same issue if I tried getting one from the salvage yard. So it's not worth the effort.
I did clean the car out to a point. Need to vacuum some more. Screwed up car wash place vacuum would only take quarters, while the change machine only gives tokens. WTF? How stupid can they be?! Oh, well. That's NM.
Just going to sell the car for $400. It runs, so that's a decent price.
Got the van back. Replaced the thermostat yesterday, which was no small ordeal. Wound up having to take the air cleaner housing out to get to it. Plus the van has a strange configuration where there is no actual lower hose. Both upper and lower hoses attach to the same manifold at the top of the engine, on the opposite side from the water pump. And the thermostat housing is below the other hose attachment, which is completely abnormal.
Oh, well. The check engine light is now off, even after running the engine for a long time and letting the engine warm to above operating temperature.
Until a moment ago I was going to put off the AC work. Then I looked up temperature averages in Sept for Montgomery and it stays in the 90's. Guess I will repair the AC in the next month after all.
