My husband and I don't exchange gifts but your description is similar to Mikey-nomics used in our house. Also the wipers, hub not so much on conservation of said item, just always has them on low, and I can't see out as well (perhaps backseat driver detraction tactics?).<br />I came across your site via (I think) In This Life and low and behold I read about your trip to Vashon which I also alreay read under DJan! Small World! I live in DJan's city.<br />Best to you, I will be back.<br />KittyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2643182421561288851.post-72442857179462268742012-07-12T19:31:22.301-07:002012-07-12T19:31:22.301-07:00So be honest, did you buy them the next day:) Come...So be honest, did you buy them the next day:) Come on fess up:) PS If he changes them himself it's a lot cheaper than the dealer.EZwipershttp://www.ezwipers.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2643182421561288851.post-6296705147747101032012-06-30T14:21:50.525-07:002012-06-30T14:21:50.525-07:00My husband is also a member of the WWCP!

A dry windshield shreds wipers. <br />OTOH, there's no point in attempting to conserve the wipers in our climate because they have to be replaced at the beginning of the rainy season every year because the summer Sun absolutely destroys them.(not necessarily your) Uncle Skiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02705753220273516841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2643182421561288851.post-21625757840393395802012-06-06T08:05:12.323-07:002012-06-06T08:05:12.323-07:00I have a friend who says you must be able to see t...I have a friend who says you must be able to see through the rain.
