It was in mid 50's, wet and muddy here today due to rain...in January. So, I got the truck reinspected and came home and tore into it to do the timing belt replacement. The water pump, thermostat and a few hoses will be done also while it's all easily accessible. I spent about 2 hrs taking things apart and I'm almost at the belt. The power steering pump/mount(below the a-c compressor hanging from bungees) still has to be unbolted and moved a bit to remove the timing belt cover.

     A better corn popper set-up: a second pan as a lid so it holds all I pop.
