Visit from Audrey and 4 year old granddaughter today, first time I've seen them in 3 weeks. Felt good. One of the first things granddaughter wanted to know was did I get any M&Ms yet, hadn't had any the last 5 or 6 visits. Good memory...

Truck was dead this morning, felt not good. Short version - the negative battery terminal came loose, super easy fix.

Last year fired up one of the Hondas, 2 year old gas, fired instantly, idled fine, ran fine. Not the first time I've run two year old gas. The only time I've had a gas problem was the one winter I tried Stabil in a mower and a bike. Had to pull both carbs and clean them, just dumping the gas and using new didn't help. Shouldn't have been surprised, the Stabil bottle had melted during the winter, too, must have been a bad batch. Never used any kind of stabilizer since, never had a gas problem, either. Should have stuck to "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

That was my experience.

Hey, if you don't believe me, just ask traildog. Although I haven't seen him around in a while.

It's midnight and I'm awake and alone. Happy Al?

No need for Seafoam or stabil or anything else. I see dudes using additives in their diesel fuel all the time too. No need. Literally burning money.

So far, nothing is broken so no need to fix yet lol.

Sweet shot of that bike on the light pole!
