Flip your car upside down and remove the wheels to access the black motor hardware. Remove the motor by loosening the screws using the proper screwdriver, and wiggling the cylinder-shaped motor until it comes free. Ensure that the new motor that you have chosen is the correct size for your Power Wheels. Remove the brushless motor from your secondary car. It will be cylinder shaped and you may need to remove some hardware to expose the motor. Wipe the motor clean with a dry rag to remove any buildup of dirt. You may be able to salvage the spade off of the Power Wheels motor by heating it gently and applying some pressure with a flathead screwdriver. If you can't remove it, purchase an inexpensive spade from your local hardware store rather than potentially ruining the already-connected spade and the actual motor itself. Gently push the motor in spade-end first. Using your screwdriver, put the screws back into the hardware to hold the battery in place. The brushless motor may need some twisting and turning until it is solidly inserted so be patient and don't try to force it. Carefully unwrap the wires from the original motor and re-attach them to the brushless motor following the same connecting points. At this point, a new battery could also be inserted if desired. Disconnect the battery to avoid getting shocked. Your car should be compatible with the remote from the brushless motor. Keep the car upside down as you test to be cautious, as the speed will be greatly increased.

Summary: Open the motor of your Power Wheels car. Check the compatibility of your Power Wheels motor. Insert a solder-free spade connector to the pin of the brushless motor. Insert the brushless motor back into the Power Wheels hardware. Attach the wires to the brushless motor. Thread the wheels back onto your Power Wheels car and test.

Pour the milk into a small saucepan and place it over medium heat. Heat the milk slowly, making sure it doesn't boil, until it reaches 85F (29C). Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature. Turn off the heat when the milk is sufficiently warm. Place the drops of rennet directly in the milk. Use a spoon to stir the mixture for about 2 minutes. Cover the saucepan with a clean dish towel and let the rennet and milk sit untouched for about 4 hours. The rennet will start reacting with the milk to turn it into cheese. Remove the dishcloth and use a knife to make slices in the mixture and break up the curds. Slice several times in one direction, then make several slices in the opposite direction. Add the salt to the saucepan. Turn the burner to medium low. Stir the mixture as it heats to help the curds separate from the whey. Stop as soon as the curds have separated and the whey looks slightly yellow. Don't overcook the mixture, or the curds will be hard. Place a piece of cheesecloth or a fine-mesh strainer over a bowl Pour the curds and whey into the cheesecloth to strain the curds from the whey. Keeping the curds in the cheesecloth suspended over a bowl, cover the curds loosely with plastic wrap and place all of it in the refrigerator to let the whey continue to drain for a few hours. Stir it every once in a while to help it along. Place the curds in a clean bowl and add the cream or half and half. Season with more salt to taste.

Summary: Heat the milk. Add the rennet. Let the mixture stand. Slice the mixture. Cook the mixture. Strain the curds. Serve the cottage cheese.

This may mean property taxes are going up and you may not be able to afford the rental property later on. This will help you get a sense of the neighborhood and the quality of life in the area. Knock on doors and introduce yourself as a prospective buyer of a property in the neighborhood. Ask renters and homeowners if they like living in the area and feel comfortable.
