    I hear that garages work wonders in keeping your prized possessions out of the weather. :D:D

    @checkers I pray she will be ok. I know it must not be easy. Last Friday I went to my aunts 100 birthday. When I got there she was standing up talking to everyone. She is still active. I don’t know how she does it. I’ll be 59 in a few months. If you are older than me and still active I have respect for you. As a friend of mine use to say, getting old is not for the faint of hart.

    Well thanks for that.... I misunderstood the saying....

    Here I thought it was "Getting old is to faint and fart"

    Now I'll need to change my ways....

    The plan yesterday was to drive the MINI to work but the battery was dead or I should say to weak to start. I will put it on the charger today and maybe I can drive it tonight.

    My mom's dementia has recently progressed to Alzheimers. So part of my time that I gained back from retirement will be spent looking after my parents. Gives me an excuse to drive my MINI every day from the burbs back into Vancouver (BC).

    What is an oil flush? Is it different from a regular oil change?

    Good question. I got curious and looked it up and ……. there is a difference. Flush uses some kind of chemicals to break up sludge etc. and after that is drained one does an oil change.
