I agree but the tail light thing has frustrated me for twenty plus years. Too many idiots (car makers need to take some blame) drive with their daytime running lights on and oblivious to the fact their tail lights are off; the blame for the manufacturers comes with the fact they also have the dash lights on with the DRLs.

I finally felt vindicated when they actually had a segment on the radio about this issue and someone was doing some lobbying to change it. I personally run lights all day any day.

The weather has turned towards more fall here, we had a nice Saturday and then Sunday the rain started. Then last night it rained heavily all night into the morning. I didn't bike, only because I had to do the garbage and recycling runs; I likely would have stayed mostly dry by the time I left. The boat was another story. We use old gallon milk jugs with the bottoms cut off to bail the boat. This morning we bailed about 84 scoops. My estimate of 3 L per scoop average volume removed calculated to about 250 L of rain water in the boat (this is an unverified measurement and inaccurate estimate).

Anywho we are getting the tiling done this week to get our fireplace up to code so we can keep warm this winter. So with the weather it is well timed.
