Yes those are my favorites too. I love both as well. Ready to go on the vehicles tomorrow since it got dark on me before we get home.
Some random observations while I had to sit with the car idling for a while. 2009 Hyundai Accent 1.6L/5MT.
- Ambient temp is 41⁰F, windy.
- Intake air temps eventually got up to 143⁰F. (After taking these pics and while typing up this post.)
- Coolant temps ranging between 188⁰F-204⁰F, per thermostat OPEN-CLOSED cycles.
Considering the difference between ambient temp and intake air temp, it definitely makes sense why some manufacturers consider long idling a "Severe Service" item. Too bad this ScanGauge doesn't show me oil temperatures or pressure... That'd be fun to monitor too. May have to dig in the X-gauge settings...
Thermostat closes at this temp:

A couple local streets where the asphalt has broken away revealing the brickwork underneath. My counsellor and I are in agreement that these should be restored to their original beauty, will be interesting to see if the city goes for it. There are many brick intersections and crosswalks that were paved over, the street I grew up on, we had a large section on the corner dislodge one winter revealing extensive brickwork underneath.
Spotted today on U.S. 23.
RARE union Schneider Transport driver.
I'm a UPS Teamster so I know a few things union. The few Schneider Transport drivers left have an ORANGE S on each side of their semi. That means they were hired before 1985 when all Schneider drivers were Teamsters. The driver in that semi will get a well deserved pension for living out on the road for decades when he/she retires.
Non union drivers drive for Schneider National.

Here is a throwback to April 2019 at the Travis Tritt concert in Roanoke Virginia. This was before the show started. Believe me when it started it was a full house. It was one of my early birthday presents that year because it was a few days or a week or something before my birthday.
Short final at KAPF in a rental...

Saw this last night. Can't say I've ever seen a truck with a steel tailgate with a 10" crack in it... 🤷♂️
