Default Re: Riding in the hood.

I woke up and it was 41 degrees. I had some coffee touched up the paint on my new Echopper, Then took my T'ville chopper on an errand run. Okay I had to dream up the errands but I still did things I would have driven my car to do before.

I bought a gas inline filter.. There are available at advance auto parts for two bucks. They also have the gas line there, but I have to warn you, only a few of the clerks actually know what they are doing. I took in a piece of my gas line and he knew what I wanted. If you say lawnmower time gas line most of the clerks tune right out. They have out line and the trimmer gas line as well.

The car out there are maddening. They pull out in front of me all the time and today one almost ran over me. I was going to make a left turn on a back street so I move over to the middle of the road. When I got ready to make the turn I looked back just a little and damn there was a guy going around me on the left.

I have got to buy some turn signals. I don't know that it will help, these people can't stand to wait a few seconds.
