    Keri left this morning and headed for London. Son-in-law wanted to know if I was up for dinner tonight. I let him know I was already invited to eat an early dinner and right now am watching a mean game of dominos. These wives can play a mean game! Ricky decided to go eat out! I kind of feel for the guy! He has about 18 more years until Keri can retire. I told him he needed a girlfriend.

    That's not entirely accurate. Oil is moar. A bit moar, not a truckload. And filters are a smidge moar.

    Other stuff is about the same.

    At least for the venerable Cascadias.

    I paid $950 out the door for my new Bridgestone steers with LANDSTARVE discount.

    Last PM was like $425 out the door, including the Davco.

    according to my ticker, we're up to 12,000 pages (of mostly useless information and disjointed thought). Who would have thunk......

    Maybe not oil and tires but other parts and sensors that i have bought recently have all went up in the last couple yeats. Nox sensors up to 800 bucks from 600. Airbags from 180 to 240. Engine sensors are pushing over 100 now instead of 60-70. Belts, hoses, clamps, bolts, nuts. Everything. Every part i have bought recently is more expensive than it used to be just a couple years ago.
