Nah, not much more.

I do know I need to, possibly, get to town soon.  The problem is the last time I was out my tires were low.  My vehicle was one of the first with a stupidwarning.  It doesn't say which tire, or all, or how much.  It only puts on a dumblight if one, or all, are below pressure.  Best to take a look, but I was pretty much to town when it came on.  And they looked good enough.  So I just finished and returend.

I have a cordless air compressor.  It worked as advertised.  One tire, the rear left, driver side, was down by 8.  At 27, it didn't really look low.  I keep them at 35, am considering pumping them just a bit higher in the winters.  Not sure, yet, but... a notion of a possibility I must research.  The other tires were all either 33 or 33.5.  The device was easy to use, and the process was quick and painless.

I looked all over the tires for the marking of the highest pressure, the max.  It was never, explicitly, given.  It was passively suggested, as I see things.  It can go to 50psi, but 35 (which wasn't give at all) is what the vehicle recommends (if that was for stock tires, which these aren't).  Still, I do believe they were set at 35psi, recommended, as well.  Why don't they write that on the tires, in easy to see formats?  Still, I got the tires aired up.

I couldn't find my pressure gauge, any of them.  The device has one built in.  Even so, I prefer to test.  If nothing else, a double check.  I... prefer to check tire pressures manually.  I don't trust digital things all that much.  Still, it is good, in a pinch, to not need one.  Need has little to do with things, always.  Tradition?  Or... just... a double check, front and back?  Something.

I also checked in on my friend.  It seems he did quit early.  It dipped below 50, to 46 I think he said.  There are spots where it does get colder.  All valleys, even on the plains, depending on weather patterns, wind channels, and else... there are spots which are colder, sometimes static, sometimes changing.  It was still 52 here, but we are a bit higher?  Well, we aren't a low spot, near water?  I think that is more it.  And where we are situated is warmer in the winter, and cooler in the summer, than on either wall of the valley.

I would have thought, being out in the middle of it, we would be colder.  But the winds are much less of a factor in a major cauldron like valley, of, say, 50 to 70 miles by 30 miles?  Roughly, and mostly.  We have mini-titty mountains inside of the valley itself.  It's... a strange place.  But, with no real wind, the snow likes to pile along the mountain sides, while the sun burns those in a strange way.  Or... that is what I believe to be the cause.  Who... really knows.

Oh, on to... something.  I'd like to hit the dishes, once, anyway.  And refill waterers while at it.  I won't finish the dishes.  That'll have to wait until tomorrow.  Hopefully first thing.  Then a shower, and maybe shave.  Chores, and counters?  Something.  Ugh...  Good night.

Oh, a song and a thought.

I don't know.  I could go for it.  I wonder if it is made in Doom size?
