Got a few new plants from petsmart to help fill out an open part in my aquarium. Watched my chud sons chase down all the damselfly nymphs that hitchhiked, but just noticed one of them pecking at one of the plants.
After zooming in, I noticed he was snacking on snail eggs. Just assumed they wouldn't recognize the eggs as food but I guess it makes sense
Just fixed the vvti rattle in my 2009 Pontiac Vibe. Took 3 hours (I'm a complete amateur when it comes to car work) but was overall very easy. I imagine a hobbyist could get it done in less than an hour.
Only special tools needed was an IPR30 5 point torx head for the VVTI gear side plate.
Looking at the original (black) compared to the Macmaster Carr replacement, can definitely see how the original didn't have enough juice to push the pawl after 17 years of compression cycles.
Was the final job in turning my $1500CAD shitbox into a reliable daily! WAHOO!
