Blue jacket everyone, yes birthday boy I woke up early about five o'clock had a pretty busy day long list of stuff to do. I thought it would be nice and sunny today at least it's not raining there's no rain on the horizon last time I looked at the weather radar got a little bit of cloudiness I'm looking for blue patches but no blue patches but I can see the Olympics so that's not all bad. The other day when I drove down to Lacey to help somebody out in my old Kia Soul yes I know 237,000 miles is not a lot of miles for some cars it's actually very good for Kia Soul a lot of people that I've talked to say oh wow mine picked the bucket you know 90,000 miles or something I go okay fine and this one certainly could use some love and care the bushings in the steering are kind of shot so the wobbles around a little bit going down the road but not much and you know I need to take care of that but otherwise it's running and when I drove down to Lacey the other day it was six miles an hour the traffic was moderately heavy but steady flowing and that's about the speed I want to go anyway at 60. 44 miles a gallon 44 miles a gallon is what I averaged then on the way back it was dark it rained a little bit so the road was wet and those factors affect your mileage and I was also going a little bit faster because I was a little bit of a hurry to get back 36 miles a gallon so I am very very happy still as well as old as that car is that it's running as well as it is and it's supposed to have I think like 520 oil or something in it but because it does have a little bit of oil consumption I've been putting in I think it's 3050 but it runs just fine it seems to work great and I still have to put a little more oil in once in a while but anyway hey big day for me thanks everyone and catch y'all later KI7ZEI
