| Beautiful Autumn Day |
A front came through during the night with thunder, lightening and rain. By morning the sun came out and it became a beautiful autumn day.
It is time to tune up the Minnie. The other day Larry ordered the parts from Rock Auto. The first thing he did was remove the engine cover. Then he replaced the spark plugs, rotor and distributor cap. Before replacing the distributor cap he numbered the connectors with a number that corresponded with the wire that he removed. Each wire goes to a specific spark plug. He also marked the wires with the number that is on the cap. He removed the wires one at a time and put the new wire in place of the old wire. It's very important to make sure the wires go on the cap correctly to make sure the vehicle will run correctly. After the tune up was finished he replaced the air filter, breather filter and PCV valve. Next he replaced the fuel filter, this required him crawling under the Minnie and using a special tool to get the old one off.

While Larry was tuning up the Minnie I cleaned the interior. I vacuumed it, wiped everything down and washed the floors.
We're not going to use the Minnie for a bit and we're all caught up on the maintenance so we took it to storage.
In the afternoon I worked on my annual book for this year.
In the evening we relaxed in front of the television. We started watching the sixth season of Doc Martin off of Acorn. We watched four episodes. When Larry went to bed I started re-watching the first season of Murder In Suburbia, I ended up watching three episodes.
