Big thanks to Robert & his wife for the major hand you gave me with the timing belt replacement job this weekend.
A real pleasure to meet a bona-fide YouTube "celebrity" and watch an expert in action.
I now have an "autographed" timing belt sticker in my glovebox and a great story to tell...Everyone who heard about this was impressed and expressed a sense of appreciation for what you are doing.
Keep up the great work - safe travels & safe dealings wherever you end up next.

West coast is where one can go to the beach and come home in the same day. The west is what most of the nation calls west of the rockies. The east coast is like the west only with bad weather. The midwest should be called central because mideast already means somewhere else. The south is where people talk differently from the north and blues come from. The north is where it snows every winter. The southwest is lots of beach with no ocean. the northwest is where its raining.
Life is like a box of chocol- make that an engine compartment. You never know where the tubes go or how to rout a belt 'less you read the diagram on the underside of the hood. Do it right the 2nd time. So when all else fails, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS.

Fixed that for you...
West coast is where you can be in beach traffic both in morning and evening...and during the day too.
