Changed the oil and rotated the tires.
Valvoline Restore and Protect 5w-30 and Mobil 1 M1-209A filter. This is the FL-400S equivalent which fits fine in place of the FL-910S but it's a little bigger and easier to reach.

Changed out my front brakes and rotors after being absolutely blindsided by an absurd quote that include $600 of labor. Was kinda hard and messy but glad I learned and definitely think I could do it faster in the future. Kinda stinks it won’t be for a few years so I won’t have the experience fresh on my mind.

I also installed the FX4 skid plate, I definitely love the look especially over the gapped front with the air dam removed. Although you can’t really even see it but maybe with the 2.5” level it’ll be more prominent

I finally (after 12+ months) sprayed a bittering agent on my engine wiring, battery blanket, engine cover, and hood lining. It was incredibly easy. I mixed up a 150 ppm solution in a one-liter sprayer.

I also sprayed Kate's car where rodents have eaten half the insulation blanket on the bottom side of her engine cover.

This is the stuff in that Honda tape and it's also used on watch batteries to prevent kids from eating them. It's considered the bitterest chemical compound in the world!

"... a thimbleful, would make the water in an Olympic-sized swimming pool taste unpleasantly bitter"

Umm, I'm assuming that you saw this, right?

Disclaimer
Never use this product to refuel liquid-burning devices (such as fire pits or camp stoves) as it can cause flame jetting. Flames may be present even when not visible, and flame jetting can propel flames 15 feet or more, leading to severe injuries or death by engulfing people in fire. Only use proper fuel products intended for these devices.

Maybe I'm overthinking it (I admit, I'm not the most mechanically knowledgeable guy), but I wouldn't want this to be Soupie's next picture
