Morning Ben, Robert, Tiki, MikeB, Robbie and the rest of youins

Bear cut me a break and slept in until 745. That or I was passed out. That whole no sleep for 36 plus hrs may have caught up with me.

A friend sent me an Omaha Steaks gift box that arrived yesterday. Completely suprised me. So steaks for dinner tomorrow.

I got zero rest yesterday as my brain said it was do stuff and forget stuff for a day or two. Think I'll push my luck and run some camera cables today.

Have a good day everyone

Good morning guys. Finished putting away the last few Christmas items this morning. And I slept about 5-6 hours.

When I left Louisville yesterday is was 26 degrees. When I landed here is was 62. That's some dyslexia I can live with.

Oh, and on the first leg of the flight, a woman with a Steerage ticket deftly stuffed her carry-on bag into the overhead bin clearly maked as "reserved for First/Business class" on her way to the back of the plane. As a result, the gentleman sitting in front of me had no room for his bag and had to put it into a bin farther back in the plane, creating a hassle for him after we landed. At the risk of perpetuating ceretain stereotypes I shall decline to describe the physical characteristics of this woman.

I would have pointed out the bag to the FA and told them. They may or may not have done anything but it would be epic if they called out the offender

I considered it, but with my luck the Dindu would have caused a scene and gotten us all thrown off the flight.

Approaching 5K miles/10 months since I did the last change on the Bronco
back in March. Will probably DIY again.

7 qts of Pennzoil Platinum full synth. @ $35.00.
Oil filter @ $10.00.
Don't even need to jack the SUV up. Just slide under on my creeper.
(Wildtrak w/Sasquatch lift)


Did your price include rotation, or do you have different size fronts/rears?

Can’t rotate tires on a C7. 8 quarts of Mobil 1 full synthetic, filter and labor. Could do it at home, but lifting it is a PITA, then gotta get rid of the used oil and filter. Easier to pay the guy. I can change the oil on the wife’s Explorer without jacking it up.

My IS-F takes 9.5 quarts and cost me a similar amount a month or so ago. My last oil change was in 2019 and was easily 25% less.

FJB indeed.
