What did you do today non-detailing related?

Every night when I walk the dogs I do a bit of amatuer astronomy, basically looking at the sky while I'm walking. I've been watching Venus in the western sky, just after sunset, climbing a little higher each night, passing Spica over the last few weeks, Spica is the brightest object in Virgo, but isn't a single star, it's a triple system, about 250 light years away, it contains a blue giant, so has a faint blue tinge to it. As I walked tonight, I saw Venus and Spica, and something below them, just above the horizon, I had to use my Astro app, it's Mercury, conditions were just right. I only had my phone with me but still managed to catch it. Venus is the brightest object at the top, Mercury is the one down near the orange glow, and Spica the dim one barely visible unless you zoom a little. Sorry for the longish post, but seeing Mercury is cool.

I did a maintenance wash on my new to me SL yesterday… then took a drive and took these pictures. 30 minutes before AZ sunset. The lighting at that time of day made the selenite gray color pop.

I filled up yesterday, went with the E10 ethanol blend, the cheapest, I put in almost 54 litres at $2.12.5 per litre, a cost of near $115. I did the conversion, that's $5.63USD per gallon. How's the price of fuel going for you guys?
 
BP Regular 87 here is $4.09 per gallon. Most gas stations seem to be in sync most of the time. We tend to be slightly higher than surrounding areas.

Renewed my driver's licence today, $234 for 5 years. I have to get a medical clearance as well, due to type 2 diabetes. The stupid part of that is if I didn't go to a doctor and nobody knew I had it, they wouldn't be asking for the medical clearance. I can't even remember if it was me who told them I had it, or if the medical system passes that along.
