Today I removed the intake and manifold to switch back to my old cold start injector, re-did crush washers and gaskets, ran some tests, and put it all back together in well under an hour (45 minutes?), working at a leisurely pace. It used to take MUCH longer than that just to get the throttle body off the stubborn coolant hoses.
I had previously bypassed that with a direct line below the TB, and last time I had it all apart for manifold porting I modified the IAC to use two bolts instead of studs + nuts. That allows me to now remove the IAC easily without draining the coolant. Soooooo much better this way.

Not today, but 2 days ago
Separated aka baked my fog lights in the oven, took them apart, and removed the glare guards from inside them. Then put them back together using some Hondabond.
Used a sheet of cardboard for a tray, then put both foglights in for a little over 10 minutes at 180*F. At that temp if you leave them in longer it doesn't melt the lenses, but it does soften up the glue more. Just don't leave them in there for an hour lol. The hardest part was separating the lenses from the housing.
I run LED bulbs in my fogs, so I'm not worried about blinding anyone.
That was so easy that I should've taken the glare guards out 10 years ago.
It also helps with allowing the LEDs to reflect better inside the housings. This resulted in noticeable light improvement.
