[Piwoslaw]

Mrs. P has gone out of hibernation after 2 years of not sitting behind the wheel. The car is now pretty much hers, I have to negotiate and beg if I want to drive. Among the good sides of this:

• She is perfecting her driving skills, and hypermiling skills whenever I'm next to her,
• Her fuel consumption is hardly worse than mine,
• I feel so relaxed not having to do the fighting on the streets of Warsaw.

A down side is that I keep the grille blocks open for when she will be driving without me. During the summer this isn't much of a problem, but when it starts to get cold I'll either have to automate the blocks, or teach Mrs. P when and how to open/close the grille. Neither will be easy

So while she is adding to Svietana's trip log, I am biking 40km daily. Part of my weight reduction plan to improve Svietana's FE

I met with AndrzejM (cheers!) a while back and had a chance to drive Bertha. Having the engine start/kill switch on the trans stick is just sooooo natural, that even now I can't get used to not having it in my car. This is the project I keep thinking about while biking to work everyday...
