Was wondering where this was hiding. I'm brewing a rather nasty sounding cough today. Nothing on the docket today besides working a 5-10 shift.

Currently sitting at the comp doing bills and eating pizza with bbq chicken, fresh jalapenos, and hatch chili peppers. It's good. I will probably regret this later. I found $750 in checks buried in 3 months of undone bills (more so Mint). Totally forgot I had those, so they are going straight into the savings account since they are reimbursements for spent funds that I have already budgeted around.

Never ever get between a Barge and a Tug boat. That is a battle you will surely lose. I put a bouy marker in the last spot I saw Mr Jetskier.


He swam to shore. The Coast Guard is holding on to whats left of the Jetski.

I don't drive the M enough. This is a log of my mileage as I fill up the car - I get about 200 miles per fill up to give a context on a per line basis. The big flat spot in late-2015 was when it was off the ground for 3 months for repairs with one drop to find more problems. I rarely drive it during the winter at this point, and you can see in the chart when it starts snowing. I only drove it 450 miles in the last 5 months, 4000 miles in the last year, and it's taken me 18 months to drive 5000 miles.

Do you calculate for evaporation or expansion/contraction rates?

He's just logging miles versus incidences of filling up. MPG (and your ribbing about gasoline volume) doesn't apply to the data he showed.

This. I've just always made note of my mileage when I fill up. I spreadsheet it so that I can keep track of any fall off in mileage as an indicator that something is wrong. I also have another sheet on my spreadsheet with my service logs that has next service date/mileage indicated. With mileage based services, I have if/then statements built in that change the line color to yellow/red to indicate that the service is about to come up or that it needs to be done. I do it for all three cars and it is pretty useful.

That actually might make sense at this point. State Farm will only give me Blue Book which is something like $13k. Where the actual realistic sale price, because I have the full service logs from original owner and because it's in really good condition, puts it into the mid-$20's range.
*edit* It's $30/m cheaper. I'll be switching it to Hagerty's next week.

So is the solution driving it more or selling it?

You should drive my XC40, btw. It's a zippy little thing in the canyons on its stupid 245/45R20s... I had some fun after dropping the 6thElements off at the top of White Ranch.

You shut your whore mouth. The answer is driving it obviously. Given I have a tight window of season that I drive it, even then only on non-rainy days, one can only drive it so much though.
 
Got to Kingston. Got skinny on local trails from Steve at Revolution Bicycles. Visited with Hilarie's mother. Met up with x. Went out to lunch Rode Ferncliff Forest, driven on by mosquitoes. Made our way to an airbnb in Kerhonkson, Drank and talked with hostess for a couple of hours. Need to find supper.

Boss approved vacation time for August. Plan is to hit Vallee Bras du Nord, Sentier du Moulin (maybe), Bromont and Kingdom trails with two buddies. Should be fun times.

Sitting in a camp chair in a gravel driveway, just off highway 160, halfway to Bayfield, drinking a Marble IPA, after a big day riding bikes at Phil’s World.
