It was a bad year for stone fruit in the Okanagan Valley this year so there is an abundance of US peaches. Enjoy.

First time straying from the TGMO 0w-20 to HPL 0w-30 
. Blackstone analysis is pending and I'll post one with the HPL after ~7k. Fingers crossed... (Around town driving in 100 degree heat today I THINK, MAYBE engine noise was a little quieter??? The 3rd Gen Tacoma has a few glitches I do not like; one being the noisy engine.

The 3rd Gen Tacoma has a few glitches I do not like; one being the noisy engine. Just some simple rules.There are two lanes. You enter the circle in the lane that makes sense AND YOU DON’T CHANGE LANES WHILE IN THE CIRCLE. Take a look at a you tube video with animation.
1. Right turn - enter in the right lane and turn right.
2. Going straight through. You and enter in the right or left lane. Keep in your lane. The right lane guy exits in the right lane. The left lane guy exits in the left lane. DO NOT CHANGE LANES.
3. Taking the third exit- Enter in the left lane and exit to the left lane of the third exit.
4. Doing a U turn. Enter in the left lane and exit in the left lane of the fourth exit.
Now here is what the dorks do. They enter in the right lane and drive all the way around the circle and take the third or fourth exit while staying in the right lane. WRONG! You do not enter into the right line if you plan to take the third or forth exit. That’s how it gets screwed up and accidents happen.
If someone disagrees it’s semantics, or I haven't explained it enough. Please watch an animated video.

This is what the super dorks do ... they go left and CW, and then take a left turn instead of going around CCW to take the 3rd exit. Yes, I had someone do that to me ... some squirrel coming head-on towards me.
I've seen that once. Super confused old woman. Her eyes were as big as saucers, my skivs were the color of muddy water
But in general people do OK.
The largest problem are speeds and trucks at highway speed entering when someone outside is near ready to bail right or even on inside continuing and truck at speed straddles both lane.........going straight. Yes trucks need space but slow down dermit.
There were a few traffic circles in the city where I learned to drive. The rules at that time were:Just some simple rules.There are two lanes. You enter the circle in the lane that makes sense AND YOU DON’T CHANGE LANES WHILE IN THE CIRCLE. Take a look at a you tube video with animation.

1. If exiting immediately (i.e. at the first available exit), enter the circle in the outside (R) lane.
2. The outside lane is recommended for exiting at the 2nd available exit.
3. Traffic in the outside lane ALWAYS yields to the inside lane.
4. Signal constantly entering, within, and exiting the traffic circle. Signal L if not exiting the next possible exit. Start signalling R immediately upon passing the last exit you won't use. Signalling R is essential if you're in the inside lane and plan to exit at the next available exit. Signalling in all other circumstances is a courtesy to let drivers outside the circle know whether or not it is safe to enter.
Most people get the signalling wrong.
Agreed, and I think the small SUV in the background is a Jeep Renegade.
Coffee cup. Yes, it’s a YETI cup and works wonderful.
I don't care for them either. We have two roundabouts in Tracy; yield to get in, right-of-way once in. I don't know why, but people hate the diverging double diamond interchange too. There's one in the next town over.
"In 2020, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) completed the first diverging diamond interchange in California. An interchange at State Route 120 and Union Road in Manteca, California was converted to this interchange and opened to traffic on November 25."

That's the most ridiculous thing I've seen so far today. Has to be the brainchild of a Common Core graduate.
I prefer roundabouts vastly over multi-way stops and many intersections. Even in residential areas, roundabouts make things faster and smoother - depending on the apes driving, of course.

There can be more. Probably not in the US. It would not end well.
Saw a total of six, in just under 3 weeks, while in So Flo.

Brought my last 5 jars with me today. Nothing like it on Pablo’s favorite bread (Daves killer bread)
