X over is at the dealer, for the works Oil, Lube, Tire rotation and all fluids top off...
I used to do all my own maintenance.
But now its cost & time efficient to have selling dealer handle it.
I don't have buy the stuff, haul it home, crawl under and the dispose of the spent oil and filter.
AS I reached retirement Just don't enjoy messing with it anymore.

They even bring me home and will pick me up when its complete, no muss no fuss !

Same here but we use a local full service station, family friends of Rita, she used to babysit the owner, get the gas and window wash thing and either equal to the fill it yourself up the street or a few pennies.  Actually got out the other day and told Jeff I wanted to look under the hood since we have had this Jeep Car thing almost a year and I never have looked under the hood. ::)  Seems to be a V6 aligned with the crank front to back not side to side..   ;D

Always get the water for the coffee upstream from the herd.

Made some fresh ground this AM, workin on the second cup. Major, quit flirting with them pretty gals at the dealership! Behave yourself!

OK, does anyone know anything about selling digital downloads on ETSY.  I've been reading a little on it, I have decided the time has come.  I'm involved with some dutch oven cooking groups on FB and have had 2,700 people look at it so far.  If you are administrator of a group you can see how many looks a thread has got.   Anyway about Thanksgiving I built this.

A public group anyone can read and forward but only I can post so stuff stays put and no stupid comments.  I think the time has come to see if I can make some extra cash.

Good morning Slim! And all the rest of you too!
66 here right now, heading for 87 and sunny today. Heading out in a bit to the Doctor, they have a new treatment for Neuropathy in the feet, I've had two and gonna try a couple more, but it seems to be helping. Then lunch at either Golden Corral or the Chinese Buffet, since Lady C is not going along today, and she hates buffets. Surprisingly, they work on my low carb diet, as I can pick and choose easily. I've lost 60 pounds since starting the diet, got a bunch more to go. Y'all have a good one.

Evening all.

Smokey day in Missoula. High hit 65.

Went to a new LGS and danged  if a new gun didn't follow me home ::) EAA Windicator 357mag. I hadn't intended to walk out with anything, but it did indeed happen.

I'm unrepentant in my firearm addiction  ::  have to stop by Cabela's/Sportsman's tomorrow and see if I can track down some Unique or 2400. I have W231, but options are always nice. I probably should also get some bullets heavier than the 105gr casts I have for 38.

Funny story about the EAA Windicator, When it first came out it was called the Vindicator, But there was already another gun with that name and EAA was told to change it or be sued. So they went with Windicator, The funny part is in the German language the V is pronounced as W and W as a V, So it's still a Vindicator using the German pronunciation.

I handled one of Weihrauch's Bounty Hunter in 357 Mag. solid made.
A pair have been a friend's CAS (SASS) go to for quite a few years now.

I didn't care for the HAMMER TRANSFER SAFETY BAR, (i don't care for Ruger's HTSB either)
but his gun(s) function without any hiccups.

We have finally dropped out of our 100+ temps of the last 2- weeks, and now are looking at mid-70's with a few drops into the 60's for the next week or 2.  Still no real rain What is nasty is the air quality.  There is a fire burning just Southeast of Sacramento and it is streaming smoke into the Reno/Sparks area like mad.  The Great Reno Balloon Races were rather limited to the air quality but made it through the weekend.  The Reno Nation Championship Air Races started yesterday and is running on a hour to hour basis due to visibility concerns.  I think the biplanes races require at least a mile, and the jet and Unlimited classes are about 5 miles.  Everyone managed to qualify yesterday, but we'll see how things go as the week goes on.
The house is closed up and the air conditioning on except when the quality gets to Moderate.  Right now, it's at Very Unhealthy, and has hit Hazardous a couple of times over the last week. 
Time to go back into hibernate mode
