So I forgot to hook up the windshield washer hose from the tank back when I painted the wipers and cowling.

The nipple/tee sits just under cowling under the driver’s side wiper. Thankfully I kept that puller and the wiper arm popped right off.

I pulled the end cowl piece grrr which has weak push pins already. Those pins are so thin and I’m sure GM never expected guys like us to pull them off multiple times. Thankfully it is not the passenger side with the Esky antenna delete cowl piece.

At the same time when i pulled the cowl to paint, the T10 screw that holds the tiniest corner of the cowling down broke off. So it was kind of flappy as well.

I took 2 nylon washers and stacked them to spread out the down force and locked that cowling in tight.

Minor win for a little free work. I polished a little bit in the engine bay. Won’t ever make Barrett-Jackson, but satisfying anyways. (Since I watched some of opening night from Scottsdale and the wife likes the lowered
68-72 C10s...and who doesn’t??)

And the postman said he loved dropping off packages and seeing how clean the Tahoe is.

He said I needed to do the same mods to the Suburban. Lol

Had to double park to pick up some pizza for the kids and their friends tonight.

Turned on my hazards (I cannot remember the last time I actually had them on), but had never really taken notice of how they looked.

I stopped and took a quick video.

Looking like a good sequential/switchback style pattern. Like it. Too bad only in that function.

78000 miles

Thx to @NeverSatisfied for reminding me about mileage.

Not monumental, but compratively speaking yes. And only about 13k since I took ownership in 2013.

I had been driving it since 2009 off and on for work from a previous employer.

A lot happened since 2013 for sure.
