Basic smart Tune-up

At 40K miles, and 34 months of ownership, it's time for a change of plugs...Out with old copper, in with new plats..

The oil's 0W40, to last 10,000 miles..
Getting the oil, old Bosch filter out..
Mobil 1's taking its place.
That's not right. Somehow, it felt much less than 53F!

Bassam's Time Out

He loves kids!
Abu Lawrence swinging his daughter, Lana...

Iman School's Birthday Party

Cake!

But the wait for the party to begin was a bit too long...

Too, too long!

Much too long!

Luqman agrees...

Fine Saturday Morning Drive

Wasil needed to get to Bethel Park this morning. Fundraising for a cause.
Where he'll be for the day, the GE there...
Fellow Nittany, all ready for action...
They are all over the city of Pittsburgh!! Here's another car-to-car volunteer...
Outta Batman's cave....
Dukes of Pittsburgh...
Boulevard of the Allies, wide-open spaces...
Mr. Bone, first name Trom...Muhsin likes the fact he gets money in the coffee can..
I couldn't park anywhere else, and this space is just right!! They say that the best things come in the littlest packages, and I couldn't agree with it more!
Back home by noon; just look at the foliage!

Friday Dates

Wasil wanted to return to Indiana on Friday after his last class...So I took the scenic route to SC LOL (to see the up and coming wind farm, enlarge this pic!)
As if I had a choice! Made an appointment to meet up with Giff at LJS by the Nittany Mall at 3:00..
My forever favorite fish place...
As we dined a two-piece fish meal each, our smarts were looking at each other...

He's showing the feature they did on him...

Bye Giff, and thanks!

Rain Check

It was a regular Friday, apart from being Tok Ayah's birthday...
But it rained just as we started walking to Horace Mann, so we returned to the house and jumped into Ms. smartbiru...Happiness in Muhsin's face!
This bus stopped me for a while, but I was not in a hurry..

MrMechanic

Brother Ahmed Aly came to ask me to help him replace the EGR sensor on his Saturn. We did that in about 30 minutes. Pretty easy fix for some pocket change :)

I hope his car runs better now. It was reading 1300 rpm at idle before the EGR swap; now it's at about 750 rpm!

Hamzah's 10.10.10 Celebration!

Sky looks like rain, but only a few minutes long...
Bassam and Lana...
All ready to celebrate the 101010 guy...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAMZAH!!
101010 is Hamzah's number today!

It was unplanned! Bassam dropped by from Sunday school with his charges to visit me..

"Blue Skies and Everything Nice"

Patrick Teoh, Rangkaian Biru DJ in the seventies and my fav, said it best!

The Old Court House, now a bank..

Phila street waiting for the parade to begin..

Afternoon fun and games...

My outdoor activity..

Caught in the act...

Not pushing Ms. smartbiru!

Rather, washing her frontal profile

Handsome lil bug...

Back to the other business

Luqman's with me. Never scared with him around!

Beefmaster Luqman
