I got my new 4 terabyte external hard disk drive in the mail a couple days ago from Newegg. The external hard disk that I've had all along was salvaged from my old laptop and is about one terabyte in size and is nearly full. I'm busy transferring somethings off of it.
Dropbox sent me a warning that I'm running out of space. And my personal Google Drive can't be too far behind. Earlier, I disabled both from syncing to my laptop because it uses my 15 gigabyte mobile download on my Verizon Wireless account. My cellular devices has what's called "DropSync" which uses their unlimited data download. The laptop only uses the Dropbox when it's physically connected to the devices and I can see their file systems from it. It's a work around to paying into a more expensive cellular package. The two external hard disk drives are a work around to paying for more space on Google Drive and Dropbox.
I was writing to somebody about Adventurer's Project and it's strategies. And he mentioned that they were "complicated." This is in line with somethings that I've noted with the Buckeye Trail's Facebook group. But am I smarter? I don't mean to be subjective.
The facts are that no matter how degraded my writing skills are, my composition (which also affects my speech) has been known to be advanced. It's been noted by the Ohio Department of Education, the United States Army and Lakeland Community College. I performed in the top 10% of my class in the English portion of the 8th grade proficiency test. My teacher said that I was up there with the honor students. As for the rest of me, some of the years past have been different from the way things are now.
There were really bad times in my past. I expanded my cognitive abilities beyond the confines of my head. It was originally designed for defensive purposes. It's like how a computer does it with virtual memory to supplement the RAM. It does it by converting hard disk space. My imagination is quite powerful, so in a way, I use the surrounding space around me to act as a projection of my mind, which is internal to everybody except, perhaps, me? Compared to primary and secondary school honor students, it's not a true boost like there's naturally is. But I dated someone that you could call a "low power" honor student and sometimes, I can almost keep up.

Exhaust Update 2019060801
I got the new exhaust in my 2008 Chevy HHR LS pretty much mounted. But I missed a ring that goes on the end of the header. The header has 10 bolts and really don't want to have to dismount it if I don't have to. But the ring doesn't mount into anything. What it does is that it's used to compress the gasket. The only thing holding it is the torque of the 3 bolts that mount the catalytic converter to the header in a triangle pattern. So, I'm trying to figure out how I can hold the ring on while I reattach the catalytic converter pipe?

New External Hard Disk Drive Ordered and Exhaust Progress
I ordered a new 4 terabyte (4,096 gigabyte) external hard disk. I'm getting the kind with a laptop size hard disk. That way, the only thing the powers it is the USB. If I got the desktop version, it would need the USB and an external power source.
Today, I purchased some automotive hardware to bolt my exhaust together for my 2008 Chevy HHR. Yesterday, I found a spare clamp in the box. I had the back of the car jacked on to my Rhino ramps. Now I need to get the front up on jack stands so I can dismount the 2nd O2 sensor and pull the rest of the exhaust out.
I used my Milwaukee sawzall with my Diablo blades this afternoon and chopped up the back of the exhaust.
While at the auto parts store, I found that the 3 way switch and solenoid that controls my cab batteries when the motorhome is in motion is actually a common thing. I'm thinking that it needs to be changed? It's a 2nd battery kit that has the solenoid.

Exhaust Status, Establishments, My Personal Profile & Organizational Body Contingencies
I purchased a new Milwaukee sawzall today. I already have some short Diablo blazes on hand. The way I figure it, the existing exhaust that I have in my 2008 Chevy HHR LS is coming down and getting sawed in half no matter what.
I met somebody from a community organization recently. And one criticism that I've always had about establishments, particularly uptight ones, can be inconsistent with the communities at large. Pushing policy and establishment is can't good for public relations because how are they going to identify with you? It's neither the time or the place for this. The key to success is to somehow be one with the people.
One of the reason why I started Adventurer's Project is to reduce the liabilities from my profile. Lately, I've been becoming a little undone on my profile. I have a tendency to fight when cornered. But that's exactly what the project needs in Far Southeast Ohio because it's always been cornered. Perhaps a little less now? But that's me speaking having been virtually by myself until recently.
With a group, theoretically, the idea is to eliminate need. As a group and amongst each other, you do things that eliminates the avenues for this. Sometimes a good presiding officer is one who knows how to prevent this and if necessary, put out a brushfire FAST.

O2 Sensor, Exhaust Project, Purchases, Transmission Fluid and SD Card
- 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?

Tomorrow's Addenda
Tomorrow, the automotive objective is to fill the transmission fluid in the motorhome, charge it's cab batteries, turn the engine on and watch for any leaks. Then I should run the engine for about 90 minutes, while jumping the auxiliary batteries.
Today, I purchased a 5 inch extension for my 3/8ths ratchet and a set of deep well bolt grip sockets to cut into and remove the corroded bolt that is still retaining the exhaust manifold in my 2008 Chevy HHR LS. I'm hoping to have the exhaust manifold (header) dismounted from the engine block tomorrow as well.
