Edmonton's first substantial snow started this evening, but we are not the first in the prairies to get snow. Saskatoon got dumped on a few days ago and my wife's brother in Cranberry Portage, MB claims that he has "half a metre" of snow in his long, long driveway and "the snow is still coming down hard".
Therefore, as incredible as this may seem to many people living below the 49th parallel, it is quite possible that our great Z ride this afternoon (which brought the amount of fuel in the tank down to a remaining "range" of only 60 kms / 37 miles), was our last of this driving season. That's a real shame, but we'll have something great to look forward to next spring.
In the next few days I'll be filling the tank with V while I add portions of Sta-bil for winter storage. I welcome suggestions on whether to fill right up to the top of the fill-pipe, or stop the first time the nozzle clicks, or something in between. (The Shell station is less than a mile from our home.)
Thanks.
