    Morning routine, look at today's online comic strips, check out M/A, drink coffee.

    Our local newspaper's comic section isn't very good.

    5'6".

    There is actually another half inch there but I didn't want to be that short guy trying too hard.

    Whoops. Too late....

    6'4" I'm working at being retired. It's hard work if you do it right. Still learning the ropes after seven years. I'm taking the Mini out to lunch and think on it for a while.

    Just got back from being down range, testing that was supposed to be happening came to a screeching halt when the compressors froze over for the cold room. Oh well. Back to the office BS.

    6'. I've just ran some work errands now to sit at my desk and check M/A, facebook, and read emails that I've been tagged on for no apparent reason. Oh, got to use rule #1 while running around :) Found Bitsy's older sister.

    Well, today I have a follow-up appointment with the lung doctor to find the results of my recent lung problems. To say I am nervous is an understatement !!! A LOT is riding on the results. I can guarantee that I will be driving my MINI to the appointment. It cheers me up no end.

    Fairly certain it's a legacy of the original development within Rover Group.

    OBTW, taking a break to map out our club's 4/23 drive. Hope to pre-drive it this coming weekend. :arf:

    6'. I had blood work done and some errands to run this morning. Then, I took the pooch for a quick walk afterwards...drove the wife's S and filled it up on the way home. Got home and ate after 15 hrs. of no food OR coffee...feeling better now and am about to take the Cooper and the dog back out for a drive and a long walk now that Spring seems to have sprung here, at least for today [71 degrees...wooo-freaking-hoooo!]. :cornut:

    Good luck, Goldsmithy! :Thumbsup:
