Most liked posts in thread: What did you do with your MINI today?

It was used in the movie, The Hungry Games, it was District 12 if you saw the movie.



Drive n Eat North Carolina was just there last week!

 

WOOHOOO...got my MCSa back today and it is good as new!:cornut:

 

Did a run with Carlisle MINI today up to Centralia, Pa. That is the town that

is now a ghost town due to the coal mine fire that has been burning under it

since 1962. We only saw two homes that are still standing and lived in, the

rest of the town is simply gone. The streets, curbs and side walks are there

but nothing else.

 

Another hot day in Colorado, after mowing the lawns, we took the Countryman down for a late lunch at our local Chinese (Spice China - Louisville), a great dinner/lunch at lunch special prices.

Always amazes me how much food you get at this restaurant, Shanghai Chinese style with some Thai, Vietnamese and Americanized Chinese dishes. Yummmy.

Now back to a previous posting, a picture of the shop in Loveland, 2nd Amendment Gun Supply and Gunsmithing. Nice and good inventory/selection, strong on Sig, Glock, Springfield and Amrscor (Rock Island) for the semi-auto fans.



I have Ed (owner) smithing one of my 1911 Target 22LR, we shall see if he can get it running smoother.

Enjoy,
Don

 

After spending the greater part of the past 8 days lying around with a severe bronchial infection, I removed the battery charger and dusted it off. I'm planning on taking it for a breakfast spin tomorrow morning.

 

The now-extinct Cross. It offered no installation resistance whatsoever. Everything just fitted perfectly. The sound, just right! & of course, the psychological 50hp power gain, PRICELESS:biggrin5:!!!!

 

Spent hours detailing it this weekend in uncharacteristic humidity (ugh, I was drenched in sweat) just to notice little tiny handprints all over it this morning when I drove it to work. There was even a full print on my driver's side mirror. Evidently my kids love the MINI too.

 

Washed, then wax on...wax off.

Sorry no dodojuice. I have some Griot's wax left. Trying to use that up.

 

Ordered a resistor for the low speed fan and took my favorite navigator for a ride.

 

Went here today.... VBAC Roundup 2014.

 

Stayed home with the kiddo today after she woke in the middle of the night complaining that her head hurt. She kept cupping the side of her head so I assumed it was an ear infection and promptly made an appointment with our pediatrician. Turns out she somehow tweaked her right Trapezius muscle, poor kid.

Before taking the Mini to the doctor:


After taking the Mini to the doctor:


Evidently some Ibuprofen, a heat pack, and a BK lunch was enough to "feel me better."

Gotta admit though that the way home from the doc was the first time I've felt badly that the ride was so stiff, poor little hurt neck and all. Took it easy for sure.

 

Got an item off my bucket list for this year. Involved fingerprints!

 

This is culture weekend for my wife, as it is her birthday weekend and the best thing I could do for her was to take her to some cultural events. So, we drove HER S to see a musical today, and tomorrow [on her actual birthday], we are driving HER S to see some ballet. HER S will appreciate the coupla hundred miles I'll put on it and my wife will be happy to have been "culturalized"...at least for a weekend. :cornut: Hey, like they say, "happy wife, happy life".

 

Thanks guys, my other brother and I went over and made fun of him last night because he owns a rancher and only fell 1 floor. LOL

We are looking for a Nerf Ladder and a large driveway mattress. :lol:

If you recognize the above background from the opening of the 2nd Transformers movie... hate to burst your bubble, it wasn't filmed in China.



Possibly the greatest thing about that International Truck was the $#!+house door that made the floor of the bed...
