Actually a number of Costco stations do carry diesel. Not all of them, but some do. For me the difference here is about $.15/gallon. Here’s the website which lists them:

I came to add this, but you beat me to it. I’m actually banned from running (and volleyball) after my knee replacement. I’d much rather go outside and walk in my neighborhood anyway. It’s hilly here, so I’m getting a very vigorous workout (and without all the annoying people at the gym).

We need to pill one of our cats on a daily basis. The best solution we’ve found is using a pill syringe. We can get her 2 or 3 pills into it and safely get the pills into her throat - and beyond her tongue so she can’t reject it.

The Pismo Beach Monarch Butterfly Grove keeps a historical count on their website. The drop in population is stark to say the least.

I’m confused - why would a knee replacement eliminate driving with 3 pedals? I had my left knee replaced in May and have no issues with it. My patella was also misaligned, but that was taken care of with the surgery. Just be diligent with the physical therapy - do all of your exercises, get up and walk around …

When our 2003 Saab (purchased new) was totaled 3 years ago, I mentioned to the claims adjuster that I had all of the receipts for the car from when it was new. His response was to increase the payout by about $1000. Keep them all and keep them organized in date sequence.

Saab 9-5 Aero Wagon. I had one as a loaner once and it was an absolute blast to drive. Of course if I had my druthers, I’d have Saab itself resurrected...

They were the most ironically named group since they never harmonized together. They were a group of (4 or 5) soloists taking their turn in the spotlight.

I knew there was a 49er who left and received a guaranteed contract with the Falcons, but couldn’t remember his name. Your memory is much better than mine...

Holt was the designated franchise player, so the Niners could have matched the offer. As I recall, the guarantee was put in by the Falcons to discourage the…

The PMJ videos are great, but PMJ concerts are incredible. We’re seeing them for the second time this Friday.

I despise dynastic congressional seats. They are not the personal property to be passed down through generations, although it happens far too often.

It will be interesting to see what they do with the Q5's which are still waiting for a fix to be approved (December 20th is the current deadline). This is generation 2PC in the settlement and covers the 2014-2016 Audi A6 quattro, A7 quattro, A8, A8L, Q5 models. I took delivery on my Q5 8 days prior to the first word…

I don’t consider these annoying and clearly the Vreeland brothers have fun making them. Jim Vreeland Ford in Buellton, CA. New commercials come out regularly.

Looks like something you’d find on “There, I fixed it”.

Actually it’s the *third* verse:

I came to say this, but you beat me to it (and included the video). Sing it Ray, sing it...

I have friends who knew him in high school (as Kevin Fowler) and are not surprised about any of this.

If that license was formatted correctly (numbers first) it probably was from 1976. My mother bought a car in 1973 with the letters JZI and I bought one in 1978 with the letters UNO. California plates were issued then in increasing alphabetic order. Also the lettering is much too small for those era plates - this is…

The California Central Coast is ideal convertible country. We’re in the 5 Cities area (think Pismo Beach and environs) and have the top down on the convertible pretty much all year round.
