“Fill ‘Er Up” Cedar Park, 2020

Well, it’s actually nitrogen, but it’s great. I think this was a new addition to our local Costco as I had never seen it before. It’s really easy to use and you can fill up your tires to the correct pressure in just a couple of minutes. First, remove all four of the little inflation valve covers on your tires, then select your desired tire pressure on the machine. If your tires are hot, they suggest adding 4 psi to the recommended pressure. Then go to each tire and press the nozzle securely onto the valve and release the locking sleeve. The machine will add or remove nitrogen to the exact pressure you selected. It just takes a few seconds per tire.

Just another reason to shop at Costco!

White-Winged Doves in the Backyard

“White-Winged Doves” Cedar Park, 2020

This summer, our backyard deck has become something of a zoo, with many different types of birds, pesky squirrels, and even lizards. Most times, it’s pretty quiet, but at about 6 pm, it becomes a madhouse! I really love to see the small birds hanging out with the larger ones. It’s so fun!

Recently a pair of white-winged doves has been coming by for water and a bit of food. I haven’t paid doves much attention since they are very common, but they are actually very interesting! Not only do they move more slowly and gracefully than the other birds, but they have really nice markings, especially when they spread their wings.

I hope you had a nice day!
