Do you own a bicycle? How often do you check that nobody has stolen the seat or the wheels? Do you make sure that the chain is regularly oiled? Does your bell work?

Oh well, we might not get on but I do hope that you are well enough to drive it soon!

I am also glad that you are enjoying being back on CS - being in contact with lots of people is very good mental stimulation and will hopefully make you feel better which will help you get back to full fitness sooner rather than later.

No no, seed sown is never wasted ..... sometimes it is eaten by a bird and pooped out later to become a tree, or the wind blows it into a crevasse where it can grow ....or some rain will wash it into a good spot, you never can know. So never stop to consider when you sow, just sow!

The only thing I check is that there is enough fuel to get me to where I going and back again. I got other people who check those annoying other little things.

LOL, that's sort of my attitude... Which is BAD.... But yeah, ashamed to admit that I only check those things when there seems to be a problem with either one of them. Some day I'll get severely punished for my laziness. thumbs down

To be absolutely serious now...... When I was living alone in SA, then I checked my car every day too, or most days. Oil, water, brake fluid, lights, tyres, spare. Carried all the necessary break-down paraphanalia too .... jack, wheel spanner, triangles, oil, brake fluid, toolkit, fire extinguisher, Browning 9mm, spare ammo clip, blanket to cover dead bodies with, medical gloves, pressure bandages, etc.
