[Shotimes] self 60k complete

[Donald Mallinson]

Brent,

Congrats on doing your 60k.  I don't know how much mechanic 
work you do, but even if you do quite a bit, it is 
satisfying (and a good savings in money) to do it yourself.

Treat yourself to a fun drive on good roads this weekend. 
Hope you have the luck of great Feb weather like we do in 
Illinois this weekend!
