Washed her. Painted wiper blade arms. And fixed the rattle from the rear hatch. Had to pull it off and the peice that actually latched was loose where is connected. So i about a quarter section off a waher and hammered it in between the latch and the connecting bolt and lubed it up and no more rattle!!!!!

replaced that damn idler pulley that I thought was making the horrible noise. Didn't fix it. Listening around with a stethoscope, I can't tell if its the water pump or power steering pump, and I know whichever one I replace first, it will be the other one.

Take a real close look at your harmonic balancer. I have one seperating at the rubber seam. The outer ring is moving rearward carrying the belt with it and my belt is rubbing (and squeeling) against the timing chain cover. Harmonic balancers fail in this way. I have been chasing the sqeel for months and spotted it last weekend when underneath. Check yours out just to be sure.
