Default What did you do to your GS today?

I used to like looking at this thread on another forum I belonged to so decided to start one here. Post what you have done along with pics if you have them.

Today I changed my bank 2 sensor 2 O2 sensor which was really easy access compared to the other sensors I have done.

Did the 2 Qt transmission flush today. I've learned NEVER Rely on how it looks when you check the fluid on the dipstick. I assumed the previous owner flushed the fluid since it looked redish in color. When I drained it out it was dark brown !!! Noticed a very slight improvement in shifting.
