Thanks koko64.

I'll give this another try, but I think from memory all I end up doing is chasing cold versus warm idle. Someone told me it could be throttle shaft seals, but its getting to a stage beyond my novice experience and looking more like a trip to the workshop.

Sorry I wasn't timely enough to be the 5th person simultaneously out here.

Was busy replacing a broken garbage disposal thanks to my YouTube plumber's certification. 
Good day for it with winds that were too bitter to be out.

Finally finishing my morning coffee and eyeing a glass of wine in a little while - after I clean up my mess.

Concrete grinding of edges of the driveway and sidewalk sections first thing in the morning so I don't get sued when someone trips and falls. Hiring that one out. If the neighbors aren't awake when that starts up, they will be. 

Later.

Manic weather here in Denver.

70ish and sunny yesterday.  Cold front came in last night.

Got about an inch of snow overnight and it is currently 29* and overcast with occasional flurries.

Tomorrow is forecasted to be more appropriate for the season at 54*.

But...the forecast for next Friday and Saturday is a high of 87*.  In make the beast with two backsing March.

Honestly I would need a paint booth.

Paint booths aren't perfect...just sayin'.

A lot depends on the weight of the particulates.

You'll need to work in an industrial hood.
