    I'm here. Drive was rather uneventful.

    As per usual once here the car broke. This year so far, the drivers outside door handle doesn't work. Oh, it went into limp mode twice then cleared up. Jan will be later in the week.

    Look who I found...

    yep, looking at the rain chances for today and Thu, I got as many runs in on Tuesday as possible. about 10 each on the Dragon and Hellbender(is there any road around here better than 28 for pure, wide-open fun??). I was whipped by 6:00, after 1.5 tanks of gas and plenty of rubber removed from the PSS's, I called it a day.

    Never saw a single LEO all afternoon long. Most everyone was really good on the Dragon, using the pullouts, except, as usual, those chumps on the cruisers. Will not move over no matter what....so I used the pull outs myself to cool the brakes and enjoy the sunshine. I really think they believe that 129 is their own private parade route. Oh and it wouldn't be the Dragon without a few locals towing their boats and coming 3 feet onto my side of the pavement. I have been here before pulling my 12 foot enclosed motorcycle trailer and I can confirm that towing does not require crossing the double yellows on the Dragon if you are paying attention.

    I got passed by two R53's hauling the mail (no, one of them was NOT Dave 0!). That was a beautiful thing to watch. Looked like they were glued to the pavement.

    Cruised by Fontana a couple of times and it still looked like a ghost town. Guess most everybody is arriving today!

    Will do. I'll also look for a burning F56. That will be a good sign that an inebriated Dave.0 is near. :lol:
