I can't make any plans yet, I have to concentrate on the Triple-H Plantation
I have to resolve how I'm going to secure the bottom ends of the vine carrier ropes, and I have to do it fast
Last night I was out weeding around the hops and the ground is starting to explode with shoots
As soon as the temps come up these things are going to fly out of the ground and I have to have ropes set for them to crawl up
I bought a bunch of these last night, but I'm not sure they are going to do the job in my sandy soil
I'm now thinking I need to get and cut some pressure treated boards to run from post to post on the trellis about 2" off the ground and then tie the ropes from wood to wood.
Bottom line, my hands are full, and the hops have to come first because they will not wait for me to get ready.

Doing an oil change this weekend. What brand oil do you guys prefer to run in the S and how much oil does the F20c take?
Thanks
EDIT: Dealers really piss me off, they think that just because i own a honda s2000 i don't care to throw my money away or something. I call up lia honda because it's closest to my work, ask if they have a filter in stock and the guy tells me 17.98. I tell him okay and hang up, thinking that sounds kind of high i jump on majestic honda and look it up, LIST price is 11.68, where the hell do these guys get off? Just reminds me of when i called around for prices on bumpers and these jackoffs told me 450 or 500 when list price is 340-, what the hell. Enought with my rant
Thanks

I am finally, after 10 months, almost ready for an oil change in the Civic (I now have 4600 miles). I think with the nice weather now, I might be able to push it off to June before I hit 5000 miles.
I have never ever owned a car before that I did not do at least 2 or 3 oil changes a year on! The only reason I might do it sooner is that I bought a cargo net last year and would like to get it installed... installation requires a drill, which I do not have.
I thought I had an S cargo net in this house too but can't find it... probably hidden in the same place as my radar detector

I love driving my S right now... but i still need an alignment and the car is very loose because of it. I had to take it from the shop the past week so I could break in my clutch properly before the dragon. I'm currnly 300 miles into my 500 mile break in. but HEAVY stop and go traffic accounts for 80% of those 300 miles.
I want my car to be back to operating condition

Avoid LIA Honda. They installed the wrong sized oil filter on Eldrid's car. Also gave him a ton of grief over soft-top replacement. Go Keeler or Saratoga
