530a
you realize that the bottles are too heavy, so you drill a small hole in the floorboard, snake a piece of plastic tubing through it, up to a small funnel...

LOL!
...and
559 and you keep separate "accounts" for "Prius with trailer" and "Prius without trailer" so the lower mileage doesn't "taint" the numbers you get driving free and clear... wouldn't want to upset other owners with too low of an overall average if they were just combined....
even thought it's a real bear keeping all the books on it that way....
happy holidays and hugs, BW4... (and to Leah, too...)
ps.
love your new avatar, Bob! how about a larger version somewhere?
too cool!

560) You hate going to work on the days where the weather is going to change, and you have a head wind going to work and also coming home from work, but love the days where the weather is going to change and you have a tail wind going and a tail wind coming home.

562) You finally clear all that crap out of your garage so the the li'l darlin' doesn't get cold overnight.
563) You keep the lid on your coffee cup, not to avoid spills, but to minimize use of the defroster.

This is so funny, we just moved, so we have a bunch of boxes in the garage, and I keep clearing them out of the car's parking spot so it can stay in the garage and keep a bit of the warmth from the previous day's driving, but each weekend we go to storage and get more boxes that push the car back out onto the driveway.
