COMMENTS: MILD CONDITIONS HAVE MADE YESTERDAY AND TODAY MORE ENJOYABLE. I STOPPED THE ENGINE YESTERDAY AT 5:00 PM TO CHANGE AN ENGINE FUEL FILTER. VERY DRAMATIC BECAUSE THERE IS NO SOLUTION FOR IF IT WOULDN’T START AGAIN. OF COURSE THE SAME WAS TRUE FOR WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER AND HAD MY CAR PARKED IN THE BUSHES BUT IT DIDN’T WORRY ME THEN FOR SOME REASON. I THINK WE HAVE MADE THE DECISION TO STOP IN GALLE, SRI LANKA.
