Three in a row.
1. Painted the trim for my entry window. First, let me say to those who suggest this is a good idea. I hate you. :) If you are thinking about this as a project, I have to strongly recommend against it!
My trim was old enough that the seal was barely there and very brittle, so I had to remove it to have a base for caulking. New trim rings come with seals which would have been a lot easier and less time consuming. But, I couldn't just leave the hole in the door, so I painted and then used caulking for sealant. Maybe it actually worked, and I'll see after the caulking dries.
2. Adjusted the air bag pressure. I'm going up a tiny bit and adding slightly more (5 lbs) in the driver side which seems to be a tiny bit lower.
3. Bought yellow reflective tape for front carrier. It previously had red which doesn't seem to be a good idea. I'm thinking yellow will work for front or rear. At least, cars have yellow in front and rear.
