Every 5 years is enough, actually, but it's very important.

Just wore my new Troxel AT yesterday for the first time.  Feels like
wearing a baseball cap (only safer).  Now I have 2!  Tossing out a 5
year-old one this week.

And no, we don't need to start the "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of
Wind in My Hair" thread again, thank you.
