Thank you Tom, ^ ^ ^

Day Three, April 8, 2026: Found a local locksmith who is a car guy and tinkerer. Took in the driver's side door lock assembly and within 60 minutes I got the call that the key was ready. Showed up & received a mild heads up. Instead of 10 wafers or leaves, the driver's side car door lock had only eight, so ....

Locksmith made me two keys, with a caveat both may work just fine, only one may work, or one may only work the ignition and driver's side door. Turned out -- of course -- only ignition and driver's side door, so another trip in the near future and this time I am bringing in all locks. However, the key which works the ignition and driver's side door lock works flawlessly, has a very crisp feel, et cet.

Got this in the mail today also, and what a steal for $30.

Going to try to keep up the momentum of doing something every day instead of drifting off to different projects ...
