2003XLT Rustbucket BEATER. Decided 5 years was long enough for an air filter (20K miles) so I put a crowbar in my wallet and bought one (Motorcraft Advance Auto $18). Well, not much is easy so the ring that holds the filter case together broke in half (rusted through of course). Easiest & cheapest & fastest thing to do was repair it , so I wove some fibreglass tape through and made it functional again. Ought to last a few more years. Done.

I know enough to order online at Advance Auto (since I wanted it NOW) and use a promo code to save 15%. Well, a new feature is to let Microsoft Edge search for and choose the best coupons, which I did and saved $6.19. Almost enough for a 12 pack of Genny Kolsch

2104EL Valvoline Instant Oil change yesterday even though only 3K miles in last year due to lack of travel. I change oil/filter "at least" once a year. 5W20 synthetic blend.

last 6 years oil change prices
2021 --> $91
2020 --> $75
2019 --> $56
2018 --> $53
2017 --> $51
2016 --> $46

I think inflation is a bit higher than being reported.

It’s first bath since the transmission swap and it’s first Five Guys Burgers. Actually Joe and I had the burgers, we made the truck wait outside.

We will see what happens when restrictions loosen and these companies can catch up. Right now everything is going up. After seeing what houses are going for and knowing what I can build per square at it looks like I’m going to have to build my first house. I’m not willing to get in a bidding war for an old pile of crap I can build new for $15-20/square less lol. Time to start looking for land. Weird times.
