dreading 5pm
Well wish me luck, I am going to do my plugs after work. I am going to walk in the door, change clothes, grab a beer (to start), kiss the wife and kids and say, no matter what you hear dont come to the garage. And apoligize now for what you may hear.
I am not looking forward to #8 plug, I know that.

Save some money.
Put a swear jar in the garage and put in a buck for each bad word you say. That way you can buy something cool like tools or a gift for someone that gave you advice.
On the serious side, get a plug socket with a universal joint attached. Get a 1", 3" and a flexible extension. A short piece of large vacuum hose is great for starting the plug in the hole. Also be sure you have antisieze compound.

Well after work a tech and I looked to see what angles and what sockets I would need and it turned out when I got home I was replacing a garage door instead of working on my car. So needless to say my baby is outside tonight
