- I purchased two new O2 sensors and made a security deposit for their pullers at Advance Auto Parts in Woodsfield. I was thinking that I could try to take them off with a wrench, but I decided that I should probably go with the proper tools. One of the sensors won't be there until first thing tomorrow, so I called it a day.
- I cut through the remaining bolt on the exhaust manifold heat shield and got it off. I then removed the 10 bolts around the manifold. They were easy as they were not torqued on at all. I did it from the top side of the engine. And I have yet to look in the repair manual for anything regarding this project. The only things that should be holding this exhaust up are maybe three rubber hangers and the sensors? I was thinking that since I didn't need to remove the wheels that tomorrow I could somehow jack the car up and lower it on to my ramps. But I'm concerned that they might not have enough lift to try and take the exhaust down in one piece.
- I was wearing shop gloves today
- I purchased a 3/8ths drive swivel head ratchet and some 1/2 drive, standard length SAE sockets from Woodsfield Ace Hardware.
- I didn't get the transmission fluid filled in my motorhome, but that's OK. The procedure with it is that I have to remove the air filter manifold to put a funnel in it's dip stick tube. I have 8 quarts to refill it with, but I don't think I got 4 out of it when I drained it. My mechanic once told me that to truly drain this Ford C6 transmission, that I'd have to dismount it from the drive axle and engine. My dual cab batteries have another 10% to recharge. And if my 2008 Chevy HHR LS is low on charge, I'd rather jump it from the motorhome.
- My microSDHC card in my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 SM-T817V is not responding. And my key to get into it is pointed. I thought it use to have a rounded piece at the bottom to help lift the SD card door? What I have is pointed and isn't lifting the door. And I was just thinking about what if I had a bobby pin?

Motorhome Cleaning, Idle, Oops and Tablet
The dust has settled and I've been cleaning out the motorhome. I already took a load to the dump today and am working on another one now. I put the table cushions and overhead bunk mattress back in. And then I started a pile of everything that needs to go back into my tool bin. I believe that I confirmed that the AC power is going through the converter and recharging the house/ auxiliary batteries.
I didn't drive the motorhome too much, but it's idling at 1,050 - 1,100 RPM's today. It was idling at 800 RPM's before the throttle position sensor was replaced. But since I didn't drive it too much, perhaps I'll see what it does tomorrow?
Somehow, I made the mistake again of publishing a post meant for my personal profile to the Buckeye Trail Association Facebook group. I think that my Tablet and the way that things display in the Facebook app is somehow the culprit?
My tablet is the motorhome's record keeping device, entrainment and navigation device. In my opinion, Google Assistant has been hijacking it. I don't like it because it won't open apps. If it did, I'd probably let it run. But because it's trying to assert itself by taking over the home button, I had to get a 3rd party app to remap the key just so it would do what it's always done before.
