Sorry to hear this. My last dog lived 17 years, and she LOVED to go for rides in the car. She sat up in the passenger seat like a human. People in other other cars would get a good chuckle out of that.

She only had one collar her whole life. Tacky day-glo green, LOL. I kept the collar, and when I went for Sunday drives, I would hang it on my rear view mirror. She was with me, in spirit.

If you lose Pepper before the Dragon, maybe think about bringing something, whether a collar, or Pepper's favorite toy or blanket with you to "ride shotgun" with you.

I have a new dog now, but still have the collar tucked away in a bedroom drawer, with some other family heirlooms.

Got my car alignment done yesterday and today I ran a few errands to shake everything down. Then it was back to the house for some much needed cleaning of the outside.

Washed my car today and started to finally detail my own car. I have been doing everyone else’s cars as mine has been neglected and just getting half assed washed. All trim is now off and I spent the day polishing. Tomorrow will be wipe down and coating day. Then it can sit and cure in the garage under the lights for a few days.

 

I got "spotted" on my way to the picnic yesterday and Facebooked....

 

Skooby had major cataract surgery today. Took a while, but the outcome was worth it. Babs is happy so that's one for the win column.

 

Pulled my car out of the garage to finish last weekends wash. I only did the wheels last week.

Today I washed the whole car, vacuumed it out and RainX’ed the glass.

 

Just got my baby back from the body shop(2012 R58 JCW Helmet clone) after six weeks. Drugged up lady with a police ankle monitor on hit me in
the ass while I was stopped in traffic. She went right to the slammer and is still there. Thank god she was driving her mother's car that had insurance
on it, it was totaled, mine came out to $8k The shop did an excellent job (Todd Autobody Greencastle, Pa).

 

Replaced my belt tensioner tonight.

 

Headed off to Discount Tire this morning for the seasonal tire change. Off with the summer shoes & on with winter boots. Super dooper Michelin IceX3 tyres.

 

Lots of 7s in today's odometer reading.

 

High temp clear coated my new motor today while it is still on the engine stand.

Also, this weekends full detail and Ceramic coating 2019 Acura MDC all Black with less then 100 miles on it showed up. It will be polished out with SONAX perfect finish on a Rupes yellow pad and double coated with Gyeon Prime. This car will be well taken care of and will be garaged every night.

I will start stripping dealership sealants and stuff tomorrow at 3:00 pm while it is still light out. Little bit of dawn Nd Tide in a wash bucket does the trick. Then it’s inside for the weekend to polish out all the spiderwebbed paint from the dealership washing it with a BRUSH. WTF ! It’s a brand new car. Why they wash it with a dirty brush is beyond me.

 

This is also one of my hobbies

 

I successfully drove about 200 miles or so without breaking the thing...

 

Yesterday: Drove from Los Angeles, CA to Phoenix, AZ. Today: Drove from Phoenix, AZ to Las Cruxes, NM. Tomorrow: Las Cruxes, NM to San Antonio, TX.

Why am I driving so much? Easy, I got married Saturday to the love of my life and I am moving to Austin, TX. After a honeymoon on the Riverwalk in San Antonio.

This will be my last M/A post for a while... See you after the honeymoon!

 

Change it from one to the other??????? :lol:

Followed some sage advice on my way to work and downshifted next to a Prius.

 

About 100 MINIs (and minis) showed up at Cypress Mountain near Vancouver for some skiing and partying. This is where MINI Canada showed off the new Paceman JCW and GP for the first time in public. Now being delivered to people who ordered them.

 

I drove a buddy to the hospital for tests and then went out for a drive while he was in for his 2 hour procedure. My buddy is in remission from cancer but needs to go to the hospital every year for tests. He is in no condition to drive before or after the procedure.





I went here....

 

Got it running again. yay
