Not prorated, strange. Changed engine air filter on one car and got a cabin air filter* for the other. will install later since its been 13 months and 11,000 miles and still looks as clean as my colon. I'm storing it in the glove box so I can't miss it. **** big oil change. I saved $30 by doing it myself.
I wish I could find an independent shop but they don't exist around here. My dad had an auto repair shop which he started in August 1960 and my older brother is now running it. Independent shops are dinosaurs which is sad. *SMFH I am getting 10 years/battery on the Saturn so at 24 it’s on its 3rd battery but that one I just got 3 years ago. We have LOTS of independent repair shops here, the dealers are a ripoff compared to the indie guys. We do take the Fit to the dealer still since occasional snags are covered under warranty. |

Never ask that of an Old. We're likely to launch into a long list of variously debilitating ailments.

We had a good ride. It was a group of 10 riders and we are all roughly at the same fitness level, and reasonably organized. We did get yelled at by a driver in the opposite direction, we were riding two abreast, and he yelled “SINGLE FILE *******S!!” He was obviously triggered.

The single file thing really sticks in peoples’ minds, even some of the people I ride with. We even got it from a cop over the loud-hailer once. By contrast, I rarely get yelled at for protecting my lane when I’m solo.
Sigh. |

The thing is, with a larger group it’s EASIER and faster for a motorist to pass us when 2 abreast.
Sigh. Right? They just want us to disappear. |

This is one of the cases where it isn't that A is right or B is right; whatever you're doing is wrong because their problem is you, not how you're riding.

You need a carrier solvent. I'd suggest urine. It's sterile - unless you have an STD or UTI - and it's mostly water, The Universal Solvent. It may attract flies, however.
Learning from the miser on here. |

Thought about trying shirtless, but I want to make friends and not run them off.
Plus, my jersey serves as a girdle of sorts. I told my wife today that I would like to trim my waist from 36 to 34 by the wedding in November. Never heard her laugh so hard. |

My wife determined it was my shorts pushing out my belly, and suggested I pull them up for the girdle effect. It worked.

I've been doing granola with soymilk, as a protein boost late afternoon. My wife makes it for me. She's gone this afternoon,so I went out to do it myself. First I put the dry dishes away. I dropped a glass on the granite counter and, of course, broke it. Next I picked up the glass canister of oats. It also slipped my grip and broke on the edge of the island. I got blood on both hands from that one. I took a chance and used some of the oats anyway. I was barefoot, and made my way to my way to my Wellies for the cleanup operation. I felt a light crunch during bowl #1, and spit it out. There is a little bit left in the pan, for seconds, in case I want more. Thankfully, a cast iron skillet is not a threat to break and bloody me yet more.

I don't recommend getting urine on your bike. People will think you're a triathlete. Once while peeing in the desert the wind blew some pee onto the hot motorcycle engine. Oofda.
