SH> My timer is electric and the last thing I want to do is adjust it before I

If you do, don't forget to turn it on....

 SH> It's possible to drive long distances -- I put 12330 km on my car between
 SH> August 11 and September 2 last year -- but the closest large city,
 SH> Anchorage, is 1100+ km from here and that's not a weekend drive.

 That's what I mean. You don't have anything to visit in between. If I should go
to Paris France I'll have to pass through Denmark, Germany aso. and there is
always someting to see and take a break at and sleep over on so therefor I guess
we use the car more than you do. And many people I know, including myself, do.
Just take the car down to Denmark or Germany over a weekend.
I have been there both in December and Januari.
Btw. we have booked a 2 week trip to Bulgaria in September. This I'm looking
forward to since I have never been there before. In fact, I have never been to the
East at all. To a place called Golden Sands at the Black Sea. Here the former
Soviet leader had their summerhouses.
