Oil Change

Changed the oil on the 67 today. Was detirmined that not one of the 6 nuts was
going to fall into the drained oil as per usual this time. Not one of them
did, but when tightening them back up, I dropped the ratchet and socket in the
oil. Oh well maybe next time. )

Get yourself a drain pan that has a screen over it. I have a small one I got at Advance Auto Parts that works fine with
the small capacities my 2CV and Beetle hold. They aren't very expensive and make things go easier.

I too did an oil change today. My drain pan has a plastic screen over
the opening, but the mesh is open enough that a nut could fall through.
While putting fifth nut back on I thought to myself, "I better move the
drain pan in case I drop one." So I moved it. Then dropped the nut. And
it fell safely onto the ground.

Sometimes you win one, sometimes you don't. I reckon that the number of
wins and losses is a universal constant and the universe works hard to
keep things in balance. My win balanced your loss. I thank you! Next
time it might go the other way, and you'll be the recipient.

Bah, that's nothin. Last week I discover that it is not a good idea to
change the oil on a very windy day, and I also discover how light oil can
be and what a terrible stains it leaves on the parking lot...... >
