I always catch myself thinking of upgrading from Pilot to an Armada... But seeing them next to each other - idk if there's any benefit to that... Plus 20MPG vs 14MPG adds up overtime... (25MPG vs 19MPG if all highway)
Plus I just put $2000 into the Pilot. New camshaft and crankshaft seals, water pump, timing belt, rear hydraulic motor mount, alternator, and front VTEC solenoid. But at 207k miles it's still very smooth, still consumes no oil, and keeps us happy with its performance and VTEC. So I think we'll keep it around until 300k, and maaaaybe then will look into the Armada, but likely 2016+.

The Pilot looks MUCH better than the Nissan too.

This is the third time, but first time to need to put on the spare. I've never actually lowered a spare before and was afraid it would be stuck onto the car. I should have took a pic of the cable/winch thingy but it was raining
Off to Costco tomorrow for a patch job
Been untouched for 12.5 years. Same with jack area and the tool to undo the tire

And daisy chaining two cords together increases resistance and voltage drop.
It would be pretty cool if you didn't make efforts to get this thread locked.

You just made me think that some nozzles are so difficult to manage at 5 gal full the fuel ends up spilling. So what’s the point just let it pour freelyI have an eBay search set up for old used 2.5 gallon cans.
San Simeon Beach yesterday. A perfect, windless 70 degree day.

Small world. Even though I live in the Seattle/Tacoma area, I've actually been to Ellicottville, NY several times when visiting my dad who lives nearby.

Well, here you go. Same day as the other pictures. Prime time for elephant seals is Jan and Feb. Most that remain are only pups. Mom's don't give their babies much time to make it on their own, maybe two weeks. Pups have only a 50% survival rate overall. Looking at the remaining pups yesterday, you can already tell which ones will survive.
To those of you unfamiliar with these beasts, in prime season the beach is literally 90% covered with seals. The male bulls are massive and can IIRC weigh a ton or more. They're huge beasts, nasty beasts. They fight for territory and females. The females are there to reproduce and no sooner do they have a pup than does some nasty sob bull gets them pregnant again. Nature is a tough place.
