post pandemic some of the food places can close very early due to staffing
i'd have a backup plan depending on time of flight

not specifically at yvr but i often walk across a terminal for a restaurant i want only to find they're not even open late afternoon

Nothing great, just your typical. Subway, A&W, Starbucks, a cafe, and a sports bar.

I mean, you're down there, why not.

It's 3.72 USD/Gal right now, which works out to 1.32 CAD/L. So still about 25 cents cheaper than up here.

Yes, and I believe it recently just opened back up after being closed for the longest time.

Would have been cool to have it named Texas Chicken ( It's original branding down in the states ) since its technically past security and in "USA"

Logged on like maybe 5 days or so ago and bam there were like hundreds of appoints available from Jan through to end of May. Booked the whole family in let's get this shit done god damn it.

I was in Bellingham today. Seniors Day at the casino is now on Tuesdays, not Mondays. Anyhow, went to gas up at Costco. Their car wash is now open.

It's not touchless. For a grand total of $7.99 USD, you get exterior wash and wax, tire shine and wheel cleaning, undercarriage wash with rust inhibitor, spot free rinse, enviro soft foam brushes. It also says, "Now includes Ceramic Protective Coating. Probably a lot of fullshit, but hey, it's there.

I did not go, because the freeway was a freaking wet mess.......... sure enough, after I decide not to get the wash, a few miles down the road, the sun comes out, gulolol.

My Zaino will protect................

I don't really care. Looks better than shit loads of salt and who knows whatever cum or toxic rail dust finds its way on the paint.

This is probably a well known but I always find a car wash necer keeps your car that clean anyways compared to a good hand wash

Hand wash with good soap feels like 10 days to 2 weeks of looking pretty clean. even the best $25 machine wash looks like shit a week later

I use touchless washes on my truck throughout the year but I'll hand wash and then throw on a sealant a couple times a year. The touchless washes are good enough to get the bulk of the crap off but it doesn't come close to how much better it looks when I wash it by hand. It's 8 years old and the paint still looks great.

I used to like washing my car but with a truck it's like a 3 hour chore washing and waxing it properly.
