Since I am not driving, the list of things to do on my car(s) isn't really relevant.
Instead my list reads:
1. FIND PASSPORT
1a. Clean out 944 & search
1b. Clean & organise office/study & search
1c. Clean & organise bedroom & search
On failure of step 1.
2. PANIC.
On success of Step 1.
2. PACK.

Now on to step 2. PACK.
What's the forecast for Dallas in July - shorts and T-shirts weather?

You DO NOT want me parading around in swim trunks - trust me.
Central Oz in January is hot - but it is DRY. I thought I read somewhere that a Texas summer is humid - that would make it truly unpleasant.
BTW, on behalf of all Aussie F1 fans, thanks.
Mr Weber may just be the unluckiest F1 driver ever, and arguably the nicest. That he FINALLY managed a win is testament to his persistence.

I do not have warm feelings right now about whoever designed the placement of the body side of the rear brake hose connections.
Yeah, I finally got it, but there sure isn't much room to get tools in there, even after removing the exhaust hangers.
I'm way behind schedule. I'll be cutting back on my list a little.
Next top priority is the A/C, which I haven't even started on.

Dallas is shorts and T shirts all year round.
100F every day at the moment but pretty dry and not humid at all.
Come on down.

I'm finally ripping into the A/C overhaul. Amazing how much easier it is to get to stuff (hoses to compressor, drier, etc.) once the right things are out of the way (e.g., passenger seat, fan shroud, upper radiator hose, transmission fluid cooler, etc.)
I was really dreading this job and was having a hard time getting started, but now that I'm into it and have a straight shot at the stuff I need to replace, it's kind of fun.
BTW, can anyone verify that the complete list of A/C O-ring locations provided in Nichols Tip #736 "R-134a Conversion O-Ring List" is complete and correct for my '90 S4 with rear A/C? I don't want to miss anything.
