Why do you go to Honda for non-warranty, non-repair service, i.e. routine maintenance? Are there no reliable independent oil change people, etc. Is work done by an independent mechanic not honored for proof of adherence to requirement for qualifying for warranty, like if you have engine problems? Just wondering.
The second work mentioned was cutting and programming a new key. I've since found out that can be done independently.

It's a new car and I have to go there to keep the warranty up. And, with the used cars we've had, I can't say that I've found a (certified) mechanic that I can stick with indefinitely. Eventually, they all begin to take advantage. The little mechanic in my little village is fully reliable, but Honda wouldn't accept that for warranty work. I don't know that they would accept anybody besides themselves for such work. This is the first new car we've had since the very early nineties, and I am unfamiliar with how these warranty things work, normally.

None. We operate on a different system entirely. Incomprehensible to many in the developed world. If I buy something at Home Depot on the West side, I cannot return it to the one in the North. If I have a bank account at one branch of a bank, I need to start from scratch at another branch. And on and on. Machismo is god.

Today was slated to be the day I got back on the bike. But, alas, it is rainy and cold. If I had a rain jacket I might go out anyway. But my rain jacket is being held captive by FedEx in Merida. Time after time after time, The package arrives in Merida and then sits there for a week. It takes as long to go the last 25 km as it takes to go across the country.

Grrrr. I'm looking at the forecast for tomorrow and it's looking like 32° in the morning. Funnily, I've had enough of the cold morning rides while in VA, so I'm thinking about setting up the trainer again. I'll have to move the cassette back over to the trainer wheel (it doesn't look like anyone has a 12-25t in stock locally), but TR just ran my credit card for the month, so I might as well... oh, and there's also the possibility of significant snow on Thurs/Fri, so I might be a trainer-bound weekend, anyway.

I'm not whining; we've had decent weather and I've felt good lately.

Don't be that guy who adds 30 min. to a meeting talking about stuff we did not meet to talk about. Just don't.

I'm whining about the fact that it's supposed to be clear on Sunday, but cold (too cold for my fingers), and thunderstorming on Saturday for the Red Poppy Ride.
