Enjoy your new weedeater while you can, Cliff.  Gas powered lawn care equipment can no longer be sold in California.  Gas powered leaf blowers have been banned for a couple years.  I'm guessing other states will follow.

They'll have to pry this new one from my cold, callous coverd dead hands.

So instead of guns I can run leaf blowers, weedeaters and chainsaws to the west without much penalty. 

I can stay with you when I do a run? ❤

Cliff, after you swim across the Colorado River from Arizona with two chain saws and a leaf blower strapped to your back give me a call and I'll pick you up in the desert outside Blythe.  A neighbor reported my gardener to the city for using a gas powered leaf blower last year.  It's a new world.

Did a minor hood adjustment along with adding some Sta-Bil ethanol treatment for a 15 minute idle in preparation for warmer weather ahead.  

I went to a Driver's Skills event hosted by the local Audi club.  It was an absolute blast.  I learned some new skills, and got to play with (and push) the Z with an instructor in the passenger seat.  There were all kinds of cars there - lots of Audis and Porsches, a couple Toyota Tacomas, a 4Runner, and even a Subaru Forester.  My Z was the oldest car there by some margin.  Aside from a minor coolant leak (quickly solved by tightening up a hose clamp), no issues. 

 

HIGHLY recommended.

 

 

Love it, lots of expensive high performance cars there but everyone is hanging around the Z, of course.

There are easier ways to find that 10mm socket you dropped.

As a matter of fact.... Yes. 

There's no way I'm moving that old oil into the new motor.  

Attended my first local cars and coffee since moving to the North Georgia mountains. As expected, mostly US cars, with only 4 Japanese and a few BMWs.
