Article: Determine the fuel efficiency of the vehicle you'll be using so that you can estimate how much the fuel will cost. Find out how many miles or kilometres your trip will cover, then divide that number by your MPG (miles per gallon) or km/l (kilometres per litre). That will tell you how much fuel you will need to cover the entire journey. Multiply that number by the current or expected price per gallon/price per litre to see how much money you'll be spending on gas through the whole trip. Example: If your trip is 2,000 miles and your car gets 30 miles per gallon, then 2,000 miles / 30 miles = 66.5 gallons, approximately. If the price of fuel is at about $4 per gallon, the fuel will cost 66.5 gallons x $4 = $266. Example: If your trip is 1,000 kilometres and your vehicle travels 15 kilometres per litre, then 1,000 km 15 km/l = 67 litres, approximately. If the price of fuel is at about 1 per litre, the fuel will cost 67 litres x 1 = 67. Remember that the MPG or the km/l of your vehicle will be reduced if you'll be towing a trailer or adding considerable weight to the vehicle in any way. How long will driving take? If you must stay in hotels or motels, how much will it cost you? How much will you spend on meals and snacks? Do you plan on sight-seeing on your way, perhaps tasting some wine, or visiting old friends? There are companies that specialize in shipping vehicles across long distances. Make phone calls and ask the following questions: How long will it take? How much will it cost? How am I guarded against damages to my vehicle? What is this company's reputation? You can usually find reviews online.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Calculate the cost of driving your vehicle. Make a realistic list of road trip costs, primarily food and lodging. Shop around for vehicle shipping rates.

Problem: Article: Dogs should be groomed every day, but bathed just once a month. Before beginning the bathing process, get the tub ready for your canine companion. Place a rubber bathmat on the bottom of the tub so your dog can keep his footing, and fill the tub with 3 to 5 inches (7.6 to 13cm) of lukewarm water. Make sure the water is comfortable to the touch as water that is too hot or too cold causes your dog undue distress. If possible, use a sink or bathtub with a spray attachment. This is easier to handle than a faucet or bucket, and more comfortable for your dog. Spray your dog's back and legs with water until he is damp but not dripping wet. Spray his underbelly, neck, and chin. When wetting the head, avoid getting water in your dog's eyes or ears. You can place cotton balls in a dog's ear before a bath to prevent water contamination and cover the dog's eyes with your hand when spraying his head. This process may take awhile with a longhaired dog, so be patient. A good 5 to 10 minutes is necessary to get your dog completely wet. Working from head to tail, gently massage the shampoo into your dog's coat until it forms a thick lather. When washing the head, be especially careful not to get soap in your dog's eyes. Tilt his head up so the soap flows away from his eyes. Lather his scalp and ears. You can apply a line of shampoo along the dog's back and lather the product into his back, hips, shoulders, and legs. Use your fingers to comb the shampoo in, as this can help remove unwanted dirt and debris from your dog's fur. Work the suds down and under the dog's tail, his underside, his legs, and paws. Remember to clean under your dog's neck, in facial wrinkles, and in ear flaps. Use the spray attachment, faucet, or bucket to thoroughly rinse any soap residue from your dog. When dealing with the head, make sure to tilt your dog's head back again to avoid getting soap in his eyes. Rinse until the water runs clear when poured over the dog. Leaving soap in can cause dry skin and irritation for your dog as well as allergic reactions. The dog can also ingest soap when licking, so do not stop rinsing until the water is clear. You can knead the dogs coat to work the soap out. With a longhaired dog, it can take a particularly long time to rinse so be patient and don't hesitate to use your hands. Conditioner makes your dog's coat easier to brush out after a bath and makes the coat softer and adds shine. Using a small amount of conditioner in the palm of your hand, smooth the conditioner over the top of the neck to the end of the tail. Cover the outside of the ears, the legs, the chest, feathering and the rest of the body. Different conditioners have different requirements, so follow the instructions on the bottle to see how long to leave it in before rinsing. Some conditioners are leave-in, so you do not need to rinse them out. Dry your dog with a large towel until he is damp. Allow your dog to shake. With longhaired breeds, this lifts and separates the fur and makes the drying process faster. If needed, squeeze excess water from your dog's fur using your hands. If you placed cotton balls in your dog's ears during the bathing process, remove them now. Be especially diligent when drying around your dog's ears. Wetness can make ear infections more likely. Avoid heavy rubbing, as this can tangle the fur of a long-haired dog. Instead, try to blot dry. When you finish drying your dog, give him a quick brush over with a bristle brush until his fur is smooth and tangle-free.
Summary: Prepare the tub. Place your dog in the tub and get him wet. Massage shampoo into your dog's fur. Rinse your dog. Condition your dog's coat. Dry and brush your dog.

Choose a board large enough to ensure that you'll have enough space to work. Place your non-dominant hand on an area of the meat away from the bone in order to stabilize the cut. The bone placement might be obvious in some cuts of meat, but you may need to use your knife to trim away some excess fat in order to find the bone. If there are any parts of the meat still attached to the bone, work the center of the blade in a sawing motion until you have freed the meat completely from the bone. Once your meat is fully removed from the bone, use your knife to remove any stray pieces of bone or cartilage that are attached to the cut of meat.
