Quick change

Last night after work both Cindy and I were productive.  She was on the mower knocking down the grass and I was in the driveway changing the oil in my SSR.  I knew it had been awhile since I changed the oil in the truck but I was shocked at just how long it had been when I looked at my maintenance log.  The oil was last changed February of 2014….

Now before you gasp at my poor oil change schedule please keep in mind two things.  The truck uses Mobil 1 synthetic oil which lasts longer than the regular stuff.  The other important factor is that in those 14 months that have passed the SSR has only been driven a little over 2000 miles, I shit you not.  So even though the duration between changes was crazy long, the tiny amount of driving the truck sees hopefully negates it somewhat.

I never filmed a SSR oil change before so I had to check that off the list.

Cindy got a new bin yesterday for the older chicks with much higher sides, making an escape more difficult although with the rate they are growing that won’t be the case for very long.  To address that Cindy is going to come up with some sort of screen lid to keep them secure in their temporary home.

Today was my 6 month dentist check up, unfortunately the “look mom, no cavities” byline I used to use to report a clean oral bill of health no longer feels appropriate or funny.
