Chuckk’s biggest problem I see is that he just doesn’t have enough oil pans...

I brushed on 3 or 4 coats of urethane.. my goal was to seal the wood mainly.. the table is made to take abuse and I do just that at times.. I have filled many of those oil pans with nuts and bolts etc.. I don't fill them up too much, allowing me to finger through them looking for that special item.. I use a larger oil drain pan to service my bike.. I have a shed that I keep "stuff" in ..

G.O. will have fun picking through my stuff haha ..
getting back on the subject, I did another fuel consumption test today .. as usual, it was a dirty job.. haha .. it seems to be very close to my first m.p.g. test that I did with the plexistar 2

Nah, ... although I am trying to determine which is your favourite margarine.

That is some pretty good fuel economy. For me to get close to that I will need to stay off the freeways (no big windscreen).

I was worried that I would loose mileage when I went to the larger windshield.. but I believe, I may be getting just a little bit better !! .. it may be the angle of deflection.. I was able to lay the plexistar 2 back more.. one more thing .. everyone has their favorite way of cleaning bugs off of their windshields and other surfaces.. well, I swear these two products are the way to go !! .. I spray the sponge and also the windshield, then give it a scrub.. then while it is still wet, I will follow up with two bounty paper towels.. the cinch cleans well, but also has a great smell that masks the funk coming from the dead bugs..

Personally I would never use a paper towel on a plastic windshield, but if it works for you..............

just to add... I have checked my mileage 3 or 4 more times and the 55 m.p.g. seems to be holding.. that's good news.. today I will start to run a lightning cable from under my seat, up to my handle bars.. this will allow me to keep my iPhone at the ready for doing short videos.. I will try to fish the cable through, under the tank.. I have had the tank off once and that fuel connector was a pain !! ..
