'What does 2111 mean spiritually?
Angel number 2111 is a powerful number that combines energies of numbers 2, 1, 11, 211. All of these numbers are hiding a message that you should remember and implement on your life. The more you open your heart to the power of divine forces, the easier it will be to make changes in your life'

deep!

Excellent welcome to the club of dreaming up random links and images based on milage for the month :-D
All adds to the interest.

2111 indeed, seems a bit pricy to me!

The new toy in town this month is my first venture into the world of electric car ownership.

So 754 miles done and the all important random number generator of the odometer at precisely the end of month produced 29194 and as is customary,and almost compulsory, a commemorative linked image for the number shall be dredged up.

..and dredged is the right word......a rich but incredibly boring vein of odometer like numbers can be supplied by ISO and their "standards" as discussed recently on POTD

1735 in C5
243 in MX3
0 in boeing 737s
0 in MX5
0 in LS450h
0 in piper cherokee

Total 1978

I had to eliminate a huge number of 1978 pics generated by DDG to find one which had at least a little meaning
rather than just the date on a calendar, so I picked this because it has a reason to be remembered:

December 2019

Post by NewcastleFalcon »

For the first time since 1978, December 2019 was nearly the first month I never spent a single penny on Petrol or Diesel.

Had a one way ICE trip to Manchester to drop the bargain basement Micra off / train back as reported eleswhere, so did venture into a petrol station for that trip.
Image

At the end of the month 30511 less 29194=1,317 for the month and £20 spent on electricity.

I go for the random end value of the odometer for my commemorative pics so will have a peruse and come up with something later.

Regards Neil

Well one of the final flings of 2019 was the barber's shop experience on Remember these all our Yesterdays thread, what more appropriate for my 30511 commemorative picture than this....

Hardly any. Car clocked up 444 miles but only had one 'long run' - Newcastle city center, around 20 miles round trip.
