Hope your Monday is Marvelous

This saying just spoke to me today. I think the author was thinking it as a motivational phrase for CHANGE. As a motivational phrase it could be applied to so many things. For example, our eating habits, spending habits, exercise habits. Perhaps, one or more "bad" habits needs to be modified or changed a bit. Okay, so this phrase speaks to me in several areas of needed change! I'll start with one and go from there.... I promise! It could also be motivation to KEEP DOING what you are doing! Maybe you have already made a major change. This phrase could be a reason to keep doing what you are doing! Hope your days has been a good one! Now back to my promise....

I have heard horror stories about timing belts breaking and causing permanent engine damage! How can I prevent this from happening to me? Understanding some general information about timing belts will help you to avoid a broken timing belt. First, timing belts should be replaced between 60,000 to 100,00 miles. So, you will need to start inspecting your belt for any wear periodically at the 60,000-mile point. Secondly, a timing belt, that is wearing out, will start make a ticking noise. If you hear this noise, be sure to make an appointment to have your belt checked. The other two things that can happen is a no start or when an engine is misfiring. Timing belts are the second most important maintenance item for vehicles; with oil changes being number one. A broken timing belt is a big deal! Although replacing it can be costly, having it break is even more costly.  

January 31st! We have made it through the first month of 2024! While some of us are thankful for the snowstorm we received, others are thankful it was just ONE big snowstorm (and secretly hoping it will be the only one!). February gives us another chance to continue any resolutions that we started in January. Or perhaps another chance to make changes that have been on our minds. Either way, February is a clean slate! Make it a good one!
