Alrighty then

I had one of those moments of 'well now, that's odd' yesterday on the drive home. It is getting close to the time when I need an oil change, and I started thinking about how long I have had my car. As of April 9th, I will be celebrating my 3rd anniversary, and nearly 51000 miles later I am still pleased with it.

It's just the 51k thing that surprised me. But running the numbers, it does add up. I average between 300-315 miles per tank (15.3 gallon), with an average fill up between 10.5-12 gallons.

So, 156 weeks x 300 miles = 46800 miles.

I didn't think I would quite be at that high a number yet, but I am. Guess it really does add up when you aren't thinking about it.

And I guess it is time for another oil change soon.

Fun

Finally some warm weather and finally the snow is melting. The bad news is a pair of chickadees thought the siding above a window was fun to play with.

Fortunately they seemed to scare off easily but the damage was done.  Trip to the hardware store to get get wood filler and hope like hell the rain would hold off. And luck was with me today, so that was nice.

Otherwise a busy weekend. Changes for me coming this week. Woo.

And with that click, time for bed.
