Sounds like you should head out to a fine establishment for a drink.Sounds like you wheelie know what you're doing.proninja said:I don't want to brag on facebook, so I'm doing it here.
Took over all operations at a bike shop in early October. November is the first full month I've got under my belt. Everything was in disarray, and we've lost two people since I came on board on top of it. Not due to me.I took some risks and ordered a lot of last year's bikes to sell on closeout, it was a limited time opportunity and I jumped on it.
If we don't sell anything else today, revenue is up 45% and profit up 60% from last November. Feels good.
Unless you can't handle bars.

Huh, never seen this one before. The woman in front of me at the gas station left her car running while having her tank filled. That seemsnot so safe, right?

That's a wive's tale from long ago. I turn my car off but apparently there is no extra risk of setting anything in fire compared to shutting off the engine. The worry has always been that a spark from the running engine will somehow find its way to the tank as its being filled, which is stupid because no one worries about the same happening while driving down the road.

About a week ago, a guy pulled up to the pump on the other side from me. Left his car running, talking on cell phone while smoking a cig while he jumped out and started pumping gas.
Officer Pete Malloy

Leaving the car running at the pump is stupid. All you're doing is burning the gas that you're pumping. If your car doesn't get good mileage you could end up pumping all day and never fill your tank.

Especially if it's a Hot Pocket. Would be more efficient to just microwave it and drop it into the toilet, right?

Pretty sure Abe has used a gas pump more than any of us. so maybe we should trust him on this one

In areas where it's not really fit for humans to live, Phoenix, Vegas, etc, maybe Bakersfield, where the temperature approaches the surface of the sun, it's common to leave your car running, so the AC continues to keep you alive. If you you go full service, they expect you to keep it running.

I don't think I've ever even seen this in a decade living on the surface of the sun, much less done it.

First time I experienced it was in Phoenix, camelback corridor. I pulled into a gas station, on fumes, it was full service only. Dude told me leave it running.
I did it all the time when I lived there.

Also ok to leave your car running. But turn off the lights and don't put your foot on the brake.

I had a very awkward interaction with the woman on Amazon.com's customer assistance line on Cyber Monday.
Suffice it to say that one of us was somewhat mistaken as to the purpose of the day.
