How to save oil, and stuff...

How to save oil, and stuff...

Wear a sweater.
It's cool for May in New England. It seems a sin to be burning oil to heat
the house. Not everybody in the house agrees with me. Lows in the low 40s
for the next week. I may be losing this discussion.

I have been avoiding driving. And I don't get to hear my V8 make those cool
induction sounds that I love. I just sorta burble down the road trying not
to hammer the throttle like I used to. I sure am glad it burns regular.

That aftermarket fuel pump I installed last year sucks. It's noisey as hell
and there's some problem with the evap sysyem ever since too. Insist on OEM
parts.

Cafe Du Monde coffee with chickory is the best stuff on the planet.

Oh yeah, it also takes much longer to get the system up to pressure. The OEM
pump required almost zero time. This one I have to wait for it to cycle and
shut off (sometimes twice) before it will start. PITMFA. Junk.

Highs in the mid 70s-low 80s this week with lows in the upper
50s-low 60s. The time of year when I don't have to heat or cool.
Makes a broke man's wallet slightly happier.

Throw a Magnaflow exhaust on there and do it every now and then
anyway. Just to be cool.

I've got ~120,000 miles on my original brake pads and there's
still about half the pad left. With most stuff, I'm going OEM
from now on.

Oh no. Let me give you two alternatives:
My current favorite:
* w w w .larrysbeans . com /cgi-bin/store/1/27/

Could easily be top of the list (received a bag from HWD):
* w w w .peets . com /shop/coffee_detail.asp?id=49&cid=1005

I'll bring both if a mid-Atlantic Spodely fest materializes.
