What have you done to your CX-5 today?

Ordered the Ultra-Gauge MX OBD2 scanner. My first OBD2 tool.
Looking forward to getting effective visibility of the various sensors and conditions in the CX-5. At nearly 130K miles on the odometer, every little bit will help.
Edit: The scanner arrived. Have done the basic initialization. 11-big CAN vehicle, and 26 gauges identified. Am going through the pages to set up which gauges on each page I would initially like to see. Will do the configuration setups later this week. Seems easy enough to use.

Heh. I'm a middle-aged man, and this still makes me chuckle a bit.

I tightened the rear view mirror. It started to rattle on a recent road trip.

I have done that on mine at least 3 times, now it’s loose again.

If it loosens up again I will probably use some blue Loctite. This was the first time I had to tighten the mirror. I-20 through MS to TX is a torture track.

The first time when I noticed that T20 screw for rear view mirror was loose, my 2016 CX-5 is still under B-to-B warranty. I had the Mazda dealer to do the job. The Service Advisor showed me a Service Alert that Mazda advised dealers don’t tighten that T20 screw too much which could break the windshield. At the time the CX-5 windshield breaking from rear view mirror area was a problem. And the Service Alert also suggests don’t apply Loctite to the T20 screw for some reason.

Unfortunately it’ll get loose again. Loctite? See my previous post.

Lovely adventure tonight. I've had a faint foul smell in the garage lately that I haven't been able to find. The weather's been heating up lately and the smell got worse quickly. I'm out there earlier, following my nose around, trying like hell to find it. I took my CX-5 out of the garage so I had more room to look around. As I'm walking back to the garage, I get a strong whiff of it near the car. Nah... can't be. In the garage, the smell was gone. Walk back to the CX-5... uh oh... pop the hood and got a nose full! Dammit, dammit, dammit. Long story long (and I'll skip the pics) but a small bird had gotten trapped just below the A/C condenser and has been there long enough for nature to start working in reverse. Just what I wanted to do tonight... cleaning up that disgusting mess!! Glad I had some extra N95 masks to get through that. Freaking nasty.

I feel your pain, and then some!!!
Not car related but stink related, nonetheless.
We had a bad smell (dead animal for sure) in one of the rooms of our basement, but only when the wind would blow from the west. Strange.
After some investigation with my nose, both inside and outside, I determined that there was something dead under the cement stoop at the front of our house. Years ago, I had built a deck on the front of the house and the decking surrounded the stoop now. So that meant that I had to pull some deck boards off to inspect under the stoop. I have a borescope camera, I used that to see what's what under the stoop once I had access.
YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was a dead possum! I'll spare you the details, but it seemed that the thing had died sometime over the winter or sometime in the fall and froze over the winter months. When it warmed up outside and thawed, well, you get the picture.
I almost threw up a couple of times getting that mess cleaned up, but it's done now, and the smell is gone.
I had planned on replacing all the deck boards on this deck anyways this year with composite boards. I just didn't want to do it this early, but it's now done. While I had all the boards off and access to everything underneath the deck, I went ahead and MADE SURE that no other critters could get under there any longer. I'll be finishing up this project today.
