stormdogI know that the lovely and talented ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
moiracoon will not be at Kenosha coffee tonight. I also heard from the talented (and rather cute himself) posicat that he will probably not be in attendance, which tells me that we will probably be without a novaotter as well.
How many of the usual suspects should I expect to be there tonight? Just wondering if I should make alternate plans. Like cleaning the house or putting things on Ebay or something.
I filled up the Aveo yesterday and did my first calibration of the ScanGauge. I had to adjust fuel consumption up by 2%. I knew it was reading a little high since my tank average said it was about 37 but my actual mileage came out to about 35 and a half. But that's ok. Now that I know it's close to accurate, I'm finding that much more motivation to keep that number up and I squeezed out 37.5 on the way to work, which means I didn't even use a gallon of gasoline to get here. Not too bad, though it helps that traffic was extra light today. I do think I'm going to check with that guy who told me if I wasn't getting 40 after setting up my ScanGauge, I should talk to him about a driving clinic. *grins*
I'm also amused that I had a friend call me on my cell phone to complain that I needed to at least drive the speed limit....
I had a fun, low-key evening with Posi andtybis looking through a gigantic church rummage sale that filled multiple levels of a school and the adjoining parking lot. One of them found a lens case for me that I'll use for my 28-80, and Tybis found a really nifty old exposure meter. I looked at another HEPA filter, twin to the one at the house, but the fan had a bad bearing and I know me; I'd never get around to replacing the fan.
Other plans for today include putting my seat back into my car so I can drive my family to my grandparents' place tomorrow. My dad wants to see how I hypermile. *grins*
