    Daydreamed about my MINI... While doing Spring yardwork....
    Wife's doing horse stuff up in Cleveland with the daughter this weekend.... Thought I would surprise her when she gets back on Monday....

    So I.....
    Pruned some bushes...
    Cleaned out the flower boxes...
    Grass seeded some bare spots in the yard...
    Sprayed ant killer around the walls by the kitchen...
    Cut down a redbud tree that was planted in the wild from the butt of a passing bird...

    Man.... I gotta get the MINI road worthy....:D

    Went and got some Chili Red paint for my hood scoop. Big thanks to eminiparts!

    On a down note I found out my wife's Sequoia has a timing belt not a chain. It should be replaced every 90K miles. She has 240,000 on the original belt!:yikes: I have ordered a timing belt kit. I sure hope it holds a few more days.:fingerscrossed:

    Tried to take a "spirited" drive today only to have my plans foiled by a prius in front of me. I gave it a bath and dried it off. Might clay and wax it tomorrow. On a side note, is it worth the six hour round trip to ride to the dragon? I'd kind of like to check out the mini show.

    My gf surprised me with a folding tow hook and a new rear MINI emblem! The one on the car has one of the sides broken off, so it will be a nice little improvement to replace that.

    Drove a pile of southern Ohio roads, about 300 miles worth today. Yesterday the Blu one & I did 350 on those same back roads. Lots of fun, but a bunch of work doing course layout for this years Riverrun. Sure glad my good friend Bill doesn't mind writing routes while I have fun driving. The winter has not been kind to Ohio back roads & bridges. Lots of re-routing.

    Tomorrow is wash day to clean 650 miles of mud, road apples, fish & squirrel guts off me MINI.

    Changed the oil in Skooby. 0w40 Mobil 1 & a bottle of Techron in the tank. Spark-plugs later this week.
