I have found it best to carry a case of Condensed Sail Boat Air manufactured in the good ole USA by the Boston United Logical Logistics - Sail Home Insurance Together. That with a couple of well placed bed sheets, several broke down club members could be on their way. And you do not need to add any Condensed Water..... It just dosen't get any better....Right?

For those with turn signals, never tour without a small bottle of "L & R Turn Signal Fluid"

The LED turn signals I recently installed came with only one can of fluid as part of the kit. It doesn’t specify left or right.

For those of you who have turn signals on your cars, I usually get my blinker fluid at AutoZone. This week they offer a free sample/bottle if you too would like to try some:

Well, I must be smarter than the average Model A guy. I saved 50% from purchasing the smaller half-size 17.5 lb air canister. It saves space too!

You guys with original air in your tires should make every effort to save that. It is not contaminated with C19 or any other of the problems we have today.
