    How often do you guys tune up your equipment?

    I typically wax and tune when they need it, but I find myself doing it more and more when I just want to hang out in the basement listening to music and drinking beer.

    Which Wholesaler Do You Use?

    We just joined Costco mostly for cheap diapers and formula. I typically order stuff online so I don't have to go in there and deal with all the maniacs.
