    According to the GPS, I have been in my MINI 14.5 hours since Monday, so I gave her a bath and half a day off.

    Ran down to Cincinnati to one of Mr Chad's Detroit Tuned in your City(tm) events where GNAT got a physical and a tune update. All is well.

    I was driving Rick around for his doctor appointments, retina doc and regular doc, and a CEL popped on. The yellow half engine one. So Daphne is spending the rest of the weekend in the garage until MINI of Dallas can see her on Tuesday. :(

    Guess we'll drive Stevie Ray Van to the MetroplexMINI monthly meeting tomorrow.

    Yep, my deodorant failed me a couple of times this week, but none of the animals seemed to notice. :D

    Sooooo, how many months does it take for you to rack up 14.5 hours in Fungo? :lol:

    Burned my finger on the shiny metal-looking sunroof switch. Damn it was hot today.

    Tho today was a ME day, it was somewhat a RYU day as well.....

    Took the day off and did some girl stuff: nails, hair, etc.

    BUT: I smoked another MINI today, picked up some bits at the dealership parts dept, and got a decal in the mail I had ordered :Thumbsup:

    Lubed the hatch hinges today. They functioned fine and I need them to stay that way.

    Went to the MINI of Monmouth Drive In last night weather held until 1 mile from the dealer, then it opened up!

    About 25 MINI's showed up, BBQ, beer, wine, ice cream, live band in showroom and the original Jaws on the big screen in the service bldg! Good time and thanks again to the folks at M.O.M!

    PS Yes Jim it was still light out when we got there!

    And the way the water beaded up, proved you had done a first class wax job. :Thumbsup:

    Got up a little early and ran some errands.... Windows down, sunroof open.

    When I came out of the store some cute guy came up and asked me about my car.
    Is this one a special addition? I like the way it looks.
    Um, no..... They don't come this way.
    Well I really like what you did with it.
