Ya know, I'm beginning to give serious thought to the construction
of a 'skid wrench' for emergency tire changes. It should be about
3' long, very stiff, and have something at the end to keep it from
That one got me some strange looks from my laughter while sitting in a waiting
room. A break in my usual "Driving Miss Rusty" [90 yo mil].
Good one Timothy.

The little square tail lights on 123's, 124's, 126's and others ARE minimal.
I have approached several from behind in inclement weather and could barely

"I've had the oil changed every spring whether it needed it or not."

My brother in law is a mechanic. They had a late model pickup truck in the shop
a while back. I can't recall exact
details but the gist of it is that the oil they drained out of it was awful.
They asked the owner how long since he
had it changed. The response was "never". The truck had about 240K
Ah... "the good ole days"... we never wasted spent motor oil in the rural
