I love that STP fuel injector cleaner. It seems to work wonders especially for older cars.

When are you moving to T-town? It'll be nice to see you again, whenever you do move.

Yes indeedy-do (I have no idea where I picked that up from). The problem with doing all this belated maintenace at once is that I'm not sure which one of 'em helped the most. Ah well. I guess the important thing is that it's running well. It was definitely scaring me for a bit, as this is the absolute worst time for me to have shitty fuel economy. =)

I'm not sure exactly when I'm moving. I've got alot of things left to do in Birmingham before I can actually move, but I am spending alot of time here as it is. We definitely need to have lunch (or something), though. Email me your number? I'd give you mine, but it changes alot.

Will do. Just leave a message if I don't answer. Otherwise, I don't call back a number I don't recognize.

This is news to me. Where have you moved to in Tuscaloosa?

I've been thinking about it for about a month, but didn't want to make a big deal of it. It's easier for me to weigh my priorities thoroughly when I treat it lightly.

I should have told you about it sooner, though. =| Sorry.

I haven't moved yet, as I don't exactly have rent money. My tentative plan is to stay with some friends (I've already had some volunteers) until I have the financial security to seek my own space. I'll be contributing to utilities and groceries, as well as the housework.

I would like your opinion and/or advice, as (in retrospect, of course) you give good advice, usually. I'll call you if I find that I can't make it to Leeds tonight.
