    Congrats on your Banning and welcome to the club. :Thumbsup: We are all very proud of you. :ihih:

    We should really have a "Banned by Mynes" T-shirt or a little banner under our user id's like "lifetime member".

    Just saying.....:devil:

    Hmmmm...EGAD...hope no leaf fragments were near that blower! I can just imagine the after effects of an "external walnut shell blaster type" dryer! :eek6::ihih:

    Got the car back from my local shop after having the coolant, brake fluid and PS fluids all flushed and replaced. WOW does new PS fluid feel nice. Thought something was wrong with the car driving it home. Nice and smooth and a bit less effort (although I do miss the bit more effort.....:D). All was in preparation for heading north to Pacific Raceways for the historic races this weekend. Gonna have fun!

    I was the OCD one that posted bout the leaf blower. I use it every time I was my car and even bring it to the Dragon.

    The reason I dry most of my car with a leaf blower is because the less you touch your paint without a properly lubricated MF towel the less a chance you have of stretching it. Water is not a lubricate and quick detailers like Prima Hydro help break down and remove water and is a must if you have hard water.

    Drove over to Best Motor Werks to pick up Blake. He dropped his R53 off to get the water pump replaced.

    Gave the MINI the evening off. Took the Babs & roadster out for a romp on the back roads to Utica for a samich & ice cream at Ye Olde Mill. :D

    Think I'm driving the roadster more than the MINI lately.

    After chopping up the tree yesterday I rehydrated, then in the evening I installed my new dash cam and went out for a combined test drive/Ingress game exploration of the area.

    Really liking my new window tints!

    Nothing to mine. Warshed the Babs clubster. I'm bushed but it is looking pretty sweet. Now to find out about Dave O's secret sauce trim treatment.:smilewinkgrin: The trim is pretty badly faded & rather shabby.

    I havent seen my MINI all week... :( I am about to pop the garage open though, so I can pull the carpeting out of the Jeep... Had to pop the drain plugs last night after work. :(

    If you own a Jeep, NEVER trust anything made by Smittybilt! (Almost typed their nickname but you all would have just seen stars and not a company name... It rhymes, you'll figure it out. ;) )
