That is the main reason I take the car. It is not my abilities, but the lack of the abilities of others over whom I have no control.

I run out of ideas and you can't have the same thing every day. We are eating more vegetables too so we feel a bit healthier. Somehow I think I am getting more domesticated.

I do have another compressor under the seat of my Vstrom, bought in Oregon when the other one failed, but I have not yet tested it. I thought it easier to find a gas station with Free air, but I didn't. So I just rode the way it was and finally ended up at home. I can check it next time before I take it out.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-1572897092445877752012-12-02T22:25:09.242-08:002012-12-02T22:25:09.242-08:00what happened to your new air compressor?
