Made the chicken pen walk-in height. Easier to clean.

Found a major issue with the 02 Ranger today. The driver side valve cover is damaged. The Ford SOHC V6 uses a PCV valve that screws in and locks into its port on the back of valve cover, tight by the firewall. Found the valve just dangaling lose, felt around and could feell the two tabs in the valve cover port are broken off. As far as I can find, the fix is to replace the whole plastic valve cover, plus it has a sh*t ton of stuff mounted on top of it too. Did I mention that the PCV valve is a bizarre heated one that uses engine coolant for heat? Its not electrically heated like the one in the CVPI. There is an insane quality gap between both the Ranger and old Taurus to the CVPI.

We refinanced the Hellcat (and broke/refinanced our mortgage) from 3.99% to 2.52%. We caught the market at just the right time because even with the Prime rate going down since lenders aren't honouring it with all the mortgage deferrals happening right now.

Going through the garage found a set of Buick covers I got off a member here a while back.

Fixed them up and sprayed them.
