Well, another bit of 'news'. My car won't be out of the shop until Monday. Won't have time for a test drive or anything. BUT, DAMMIT, IM COMING...

 

All new G-Loc R8 pads installed, summer tires on and alignment scheduled for next Friday.

Then fully Dragon ready.

 

Well, my MINI left home on a flatbed today. Seems one of the fittings on the rear driver's bag was bad. It's already fixed...but we are having problems fitting the new wheels and getting them to play nice with the air suspension. I may just be going back to my 16" wheels for the Dragon. At least my last trip to the liquor store was a success.

 

Nice try, I am going to be at Fontana Sunday-Sunday this year. It will be good to have a few days of quite and open roads before the circus comes in on Wednesday.

 

I have a great Radio Shack, 2 way, battery operated .It's got the stuff you are seeking. Looking at it, I think it can be used for local messaging as well has heavier stuff that may require a license [but I don't know as I only bought it for close calling]. It's hardly ever been used although I keep the batteries changed. Since I am usually a solo driver, I've really not had too many times when I have used it. Anyway, I'll bring it along and if you look at it, like it and can figure it out, you can have it for free, OK?.

 

Diving...(hopefully)

 

My MOTD prep list is getting shorter. It is really getting busy at my work, Summit Racing Equipment, glad I was able to do most of my prep this winter.

 

I'll be there on Tuesday... God willing and my car is done

 

Where's the "Stomach Turn" emoji...

Still plenty "want done" items for me, esp with just weekends to do them.
Probably late Wed night early Thurs morning, like usual for me.

 

If you know what “crack” is you would also want some. Stop by and ask for some, my wife makes it and it’s a very addictive treat.

 

Teddy, I'll see what I can do. Never say never, I guess. I'll keep in touch... I need to talk with Barry as well as Fontana. No one is around right now, so I'll have a better idea what I can put together after I talk with them tomorrow.

That said, I'd love to at least drive with another car onTuesday and return Thursday. We'll see how that goes, but I'll update you tomorrow.

 

Safe travels folks. Have fun be safe.

As MG used to say....

 

Sorry Dave...it was last week. We all had a great time- sorry you missed it.

 

I hope you're bringing a lot of 'crack' (inside joke)

 

I will set some Crack aside for you Teddy.

 

I'm also a fan of Motorola radios. Almost all of the blister-pack radios work the same in terms of quality, but I've still got my original pair of Motorola radios from 2006 and I've lost several others that were dontated to me (I used to lead a lot of club drives) due to faulty batteries and issues from people dropping the radios. The Motorolas take a licking and keep on ticking.

FYI: I prefer radios that come with rechargeable batteries that can be left in the radio and plugged in to recharge, but where you can pull out the rechargeables and replace 'em with AA batteries (always nice to have the option, in case you forget to recharge). If you like driving with the windows down or your co-pilot likes to listen to music while you drive, I might also suggest getting a Secret Service style earpiece for the radio. One that has an ear canal sealed unit and a remote press-to-talk microphone. This lets you hear the radio over the music/wind noise.
