Pregnant wife just asked me for cake, we don’t have cake. So I hops to my ride to make a quick run.
The other day we had our windshield replaced on the mini van. The molding was messed up so they said they would have to come back in 2 weeks and re do it, but I shouldn’t notice anything and it’s not a big deal.
Im reversing out of my drive way, and water starts dumping on me. I mean it’s raining harder inside my van than it is outside.
Mojo I need you sober enough to talk strategy here. Long term plans I am thinking 911 but for now I will settle for a new van.

In local yearly mileage battle news, Brandon McNulty barely eeked out a win over Lisa Hynes. He put in darn near 17000 miles in 2022

dry gas and/or fuel stabilizer (Sta-Bil for example) were just about a must

911 would be the airport car. Car seats don’t go in the airport car. I have an image to uphold.

quote=big john;22754280]Yeah, he's been hanging around this area for around 5 years, at least. I have seen a hen around a couple times and I heard there is a group of peacocks a mile or 2 from here.
When I lived in the canyon about 5 miles from here there was a group of them and one lady fed them. People were pissed about the noise and the local bulletin board always had angry messages.
They only make noise during the spring when it's mating season but so many people complain that some cities have made it illegal to feed them. L.A. made it illegal last year but I can't imagine them enforcing it. Where I live is about 150 feet from the city limit.[/quote]
there are peacocks on the campus of St John the Divine in NYC

I really only drive 5-6K miles a year - it’s the beauty of working from home.

I gotta wait for it to dry off a bit. There may be slides to avoid, and the early part of my ride is along a creek that was probably at least as flooded as the creek near the house.
