got to see 55° today.... of course everything is melting and the roads are all wet with runoff.
Kind of day you go 60 miles and use three gallons of gas and a gallon of windshield washer fluid.

Went out today and drove home with the top down. It was nice. One more very warm day (maybe 70 tomorrow) then the bottom drops out again.

Nice!! Rick is driving the S this winter...snow tires, top up. He's not as adventurous as Charlie/Chazmo who drives top down even in winter.

I learned about that in December when I drove though the Rockies, home to CO from CA. I had to fill my fluid when I got home. That fluid is a serious need in snow country! I love that my Pilot has an idiot light for the fluid level.

When I use to have a job that kept me on the road I always carried at least one gallon of window juice.

We buy windshield washer fluid by the case and have at least one in the trunk.
It wasn't necessary tonight though, the wipers were having a hard time keeping up with the rain.
