Actually, I've been going to our club's outdoor range regularly
since most of the snow melted. The problem is the access road isn't
paved and snow removal is not possible, so the only realistic way
to get to the range in winter is in a 4x4.
Yah, it's probably more convenient to just take your vehicle to one
of the numerous "quick oil change" places around, but I've heard
too many horror stories of incompetent mechanics there screwing
things up like under or overtightening the oil filter and/or drain
plug, under or overfilling filling the engine with an incorrect
grade of oil, and getting oil stains on the inside surfaces of the
vehicle. No, thanks--I'd rather pay [b]less and get the
job done right myself.
Is your father a war vet too?[/b]
Hee hee............yah, you are right. I know he likes it when I
appear from the "shelter" and walk around the garden. 
Oh, you got a 4x4? Wow! And you are driving your summer car
already? Hubby not familiar with cars so we usually take ours back
to dealership for oil change and all the works.
No, he is not. But I would love to listen to his stories. I would
love to know his life. When I was growing up, he was seldom home. I
only got to know him when I was in my mid teen.
In any case, I love to listen to history.
