Actually in Vancouver/Portland for some meetings in the AM, then to Bremerton, then to Bellingham, then home... Totally pissed I couldn't take the car....
Lots of very visible homeless and drugs, maybe best I didn't bring the car.

Yep, it's a bit of a warzone down there.
You should try Voodoo Donuts in Portland if it still exists. It was a decent joint when I went 10 years ago...

As tempting as that may be, I suspect any doughnut is bad for me because, one will lead to two, two to four, then before you know, a whole box has been consumed....

They opened that up in Vancouver BC too, plus we have bike lanes everywhere, motorcycles fit on them too.

About five minutes away from fort Vancouver, but I have a meeting over on 205(?) In about forty minutes then heading to Bremerton.... Quick turn and burn trip, otherwise I'd be reaching to meet some folks and go for a tasty beer or two...

....today started first attempt to replace the turbos.
However....
Suction lines are seized so tight that I would rip off the lines before they would disconnect from the Oil catch tank.
Plan B: disconnect the whole catch tank from the Turbos without removing the suction lines.
However....
Bolts fixing the catch tank to the Turbo are heavily corroded 8mm allen key. Allen key did not get enough grip so they are both round now.
Plan C: Using my brand new left extractor getting bolts out.
However....
Used my clampimg jaw to turn the extractor into the bolt until it broke with a big bang. Note to myself: buy a heavy duty clamping jaw next time
Used the big adjustable wrench to apply more power until the bolt broke loose.
Now looking for some plaster for little injuries occured during procedure

Use a torx bit on those allen heads instead. It'll come off.
