Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["Dean" <andeanfx@midrivers.com>]

We just had a BIG discussion on another forum about oil changes.  The bottom line for most was you have to be very careful that they do the work paid for and that they don't trump up a bunch of other repairs that don't need to be done.  I may get in trouble here but the most bad experiences came regarding Firestone store.  I have used Firestone very little but have been treated fairly.

 

As to changing my own oil.  By the time I buy the oil and filters in the quantity I use, get the stuff out, do the job and dispose of the oil it is not too bad a deal the have the basic job done.  Some of the best naps I have taken have been under a car doing less messy tasks.  I am sure it must be a guy thing but there is something about being next to the cool ground with a piece of machinery moderating the temperature form above.  This certainly does not mean I won't or can't do it if need be but Paul is likely thinking that my bigger problem may be getting the oil to change.  If you are, Paul, you may very well be correct.

I LOVED IT!!!

 

 My  brother insists it is worth it to him to pay someone to change his vehicle's oil-- but then he complains about me trying to change it by myself, for no fee-- it's not like he is paying me to do his bookkeeping, and he won't pay to have someone do what I want to MY vehicle-- But then, I know nothing---- and  changing the oil myself is worth it to me, cuz i can see what else may be going on, rather than wait for a breakdown...

 

 I tried to show my son one day, how to change spark plug wires-- he declared the whole, simple process 'gross'-

 

My daughters can both cook-- but only because I insisted we make their favorite 'box meals' from 'real'

 food--it started with pasta salads, and now I have two bakers and chefs. They  now look upon Kraft MAc and Cheese as a poor substitute.
