Ahh yes, the first Monday of the week. Let the coffee, tea or Pepsi warm you up along with a personal top-ten quick auto-version of Notes to Self...
Cars:
- Check the spare tire inflation now and then.
- Check the oil.
- Change the oil.
- Check the fuel. Add fuel when the gauge gets to "E". (A little honesty never hurt anyone, right?)
- Chain saw gas actually will work in a pinch. (I did this and it beats walking!)
- Pack your chain saw about nine months out of the year if driving down Dufort to go to work. Wind, thunderstorms and snow can trap you with trees in the road on one or both sides of your car. I haven't figured out the powerline thing yet though. They look a little too zippy, dancing all around like that...
- Check the tires for inflation and wear. Even one of the Presidential candidates recommends this.
- Wash the windshield. I recommend "Invisible Glass" from Stoner. Seriously the best cleaner I have ever seen for auto glass - Your eyes will thank you in the glaring sun and the oncoming headlights...
- A trustworthy and reasonable mechanic is worth his weight in autos. These days the electronics are just downright fickle…
- Last, but not least, don't let your car own you. Be sure to check out this video – you might be glad you did!
