                 That and I have determined he is so windy if we could reclaim all that there would be no energy shortage!

I had to rotate my summer and winter air last week.

Remember to take the winter air out when April finally comes.  Yet another advantage using pure Nitrogen, no need to rotate your air.

Good to see someone that keeps up on their tire PM.

Also don't forget to carry a bucket full of winter air in your trunk in case you are on the road and one of your tires gets low.  I know from painful experience that finding a bucket of winter air at a gas station is next to impossible.

Reminds me of (another) story. I grew up on a farm in NOMO, there was a farmers mechanic about a mile away in an old country schoolhouse. If Irv was working on something for you, you hung out there till it was done. The nearest farmer to Irv's shop was Glen, who had an old M Farmall, and was a few bricks shy of a load. One time at Irv's shop, Glen rolled in on his M needing air in a tire. One of the neighbors told him he was always needing air because it was old and stale, and needed changed. After that, Glen brought his M to Irv's shop to change the air in the tires every 6 months. Irv hated it because his old compressor ran for an hour each time, but whoever was there usually tipped him for the laughs.

Added;

Irv's shop was my childhood introduction to culture. He had dozens of pinup calendars on the walls. A ten cent pop machine that you opened the lid and slid your selection out thru the rack that held the 10oz bottles by the neck in chilled water. Mountain Dew... the real McCoy with cane sugar. Yoo-Hoo chocolate "milk", RC cola or Nehi strawberry. Big, open coal stove that glowed orange on cold days. Homemade welder built from a power company transformer. Only place around where cussing was allowed.
