I have bought a 2010 Honda Odyssey, it is in great shape and but it has 180k miles on it after driving 10 years. My goal is to test out the “vanper” concept, and my first step is to make sure it is in good shape. There have been some forum talking about potential problems about Odyssey in general. It is not super scary, but it is worthwhile to keep an eye on them

About the sliding door, I follow this easy tutorial and try to lubricate it every year.



Try to change AFT every 30k minimum. This is better and more thoughtful.

It turns out experts suggest add/drain 3x in a row! Will try to do this in the near future. Firstly, I want to find a good deal on a bottle of 12. 
 


Change the engine oil following this easy youbue video



Check the brake condition.


Change the timing belt, water pump, hydrolic tensioner, drive belt, etc.

When does one need to check the power steering fluid?

Recently, I feel a little "squeeze noise" when I turn the steering. I thought that it could be the weather as we are entering deeper into the last fall and it gets pretty dried up. Well, I happen to find out that the power steering reservoir is below the "low" mark. I top it up will Honda specific power steering fluid, and it does the trick.

The take home message is that the level of the fluid matters! And, it will cause squeeze if you don't fill it up to the correct level! Lesson learned.

Here is a post on testing the coil, another one here, and, we've got a smart guy who uses the paper click to test the voltage. 
Check misfire here, and it shall be dealt with before the problem gets worse.
Check Miata coils.
After all these research, it turns out that the simplest fix is just to replace the battery. We learned to have differentiate the sounds of "no start" vs. "with crank but no start".

Fundamental fact about this disease: Plague Psoriasis

A common knowledge-base portal via Wikipedia provides just enough knowledge.
I like webmd better as it looks closer to scientific oriented write up.
The Mayo Clinic would provide much thorough and unbiased explanation for the disease.

From Mayo Clinic, Psoriasis triggers

Psoriasis typically starts or worsens because of a trigger that you may be able to identify and avoid. Factors that may trigger psoriasis include:

	
Infections, such as strep throat or skin infections
	
Injury to the skin, such as a cut or scrape, a bug bite, or a severe sunburn
	
Stress
	
Smoking
	
Heavy alcohol consumption
	
Vitamin D deficiency
	
Certain medications — including lithium, which is prescribed for bipolar disorder, high blood pressure medications such as beta blockers, antimalarial drugs, and iodides

Narration: while I bought a top the line router 7-8 years ago, my linksys stops working when I tried to connect to a different port! The symptom is more like this. It broadcasts intranet signal but can not connect to a live ethernet port.

I remember that it happened once and I was able to fix it. Since I did not take a good note, now I have totally forgot and I am back to square zero. Hopefully, I can fix it this time and in the meantime have a thorough documentation. It shall be useful for others, I hope.

Start with the official web portal here
