It was beautiful today, got up to about 60F so it was oil change day. I last changed it about 600 miles ago, the Ghost has gone about 1100 miles since it came out of the barn and this is the third time I've changed the oil.

I changed the filter too this time. No metal flakes or anything in the old oil, wiped out the bottom of the filter housing and nothing ugly there either. So that's encouraging.

I looked at the spark plugs while I was at it, they are all looking fine, none are oily or black so I'm happy with that too.

I've been trying to get the passenger door handle off so I can take it to the locksmith and get keys made. Pounded on that clip inside the door for two evenings and so far I've gotten it to move less than a quarter inch. I'll just keep dousing it with pen oil and keep working on it, the key is not to chip up the top of the window glass while I'm beating on the clip. I put a piece of plastic edging over the glass edge to keep tools away. I had removed the bottom window stop and that allowed me to drop the glass down a skish more, but not too much really.
