HAL crossed the 185,000 mark on Wednesday, December 29th, 2010 while he and I were making our way back home from his 10th oil change and 5th tire rotation of the year. Yes... 10 oil changes in 12 months.
On the slightly disappointing side of things - on 12/31/2009 when HAL got his recent set of tires, he exited the tire dealership at 135,652. At the end of today, 12/31/2010 - HAL will be at 185,350-ish. So we will fall just a couple hundred miles short of 50,000 miles for the calendar year. If it were under 100 miles, I might have gone on a mini-roadie tonight...but for 300 miles, I will not have that kind of time.
As a feeler...I feel a little disappointed in myself to get that close and not cross the 50,000 mile mark for 2010. If I were a planner...I would have seen that coming and made a few extra trips to somewhere for no reason - just to chalk up the miles.
Oh well - Happy 2011 and here's to another full year of life on the road with HAL and another shot at 50,000 miles for the calendar year.
