I'm over it...snow, that is. Grew up in it and the thrill was gone while I was still a kid. Now it just makes me think of the hassles it will cause me. That's not quite true. I don't mind watching snow while its falling as it can be beautiful, but I don't need the inconvenience of it hanging around. A bit Grinchy, eh? I think my anti-snow attitude comes mostly from the fact we got plenty of snow and ice each year when I was growing up and my Dad figured he didn't need proper removal equipment if he had two kids..... Never mind, getting off topic. Like I said I got a great, calm, stress- and relative-free day...with a few albino brain chiggers. ------------- Scratching your head over the albino brain chiggers bit? Let's call that an inside joke for fans of 3rd Rock from the Sun.
We lucked out north west of you Steve. We were all set to get hit and it never happened, as it all went to the east. Jim
Got the M7 C-Wing. Looks pretty BA on the MINI. Living in CT, and getting through a blizzard, haven't had the chance to get it up to speed to see what it does for handling. But for looks... I love it! Also got a Europlate, and some stickers. Will post dirty pics tomorrow.
Got a MINI t-shirt and baseball cap... and a gift certificate to OutMotoring so that will turn into something else for Bedivere.
Cordless impact drill, sockets to go with, 12V tire pump, jack stands, racing tire gauge, 130 piece mechanics set, and a cool light.

Best present ever! Makes rotating tires a breeze, and shaves 15 minutes off any maintenance or repair operation. Stuck suspension bolts, stuck brake rotor bolts, spring compressors... I could go on and on about how cool these things are. If anyone out there doesn't have one, pull one off the rack next time you're at the big box hardware store. Squeeze the trigger, listen to the whine, and tell me you're not inspired to roll your sleeves up and get dirt under your fingernails.
my wife got me a Body Media device....measures calorie burn, sleep, etc and logs it online. So far, very useful. She also got me a new gray laminate stock for the 10/22 I built for her so I can take it to the range (she had the same stock but in pink, thus the carrying case in the pics)
