    Washed RYU... he was needing a bath.

    And now the firewood is brought in, the snow blower brought down from the shed, and the winter beater wheels are back on the MINI..... time for winter!
    (I love how my R90s are my beater wheels :cornut: )

    We get enough snow, and our driveway is pretty big and very steep.

    Is it bad when the snow blower is over half the size of a MINI?

    I pulled the front bumper fascia and found that the passenger side vent below the turn signal had fell out and re-installed it. After that I took it out on Ark.14 and ran about 5 miles out and back, it has Lot's of curves going up and down hill and has a 3/4 mile straight stretch. I was running the curves between 60-70 Mph. and when I hit the short straight I got it up to 120 Mph. and was still pulling hard but I had to shut it down because of a curve and then turned around and headed back home. I feel it will probably hit the 130 mph speed limiter on a longer smooth straight stretch.

    Thank you everyone for your kind words . Sorry give the thread a little down tone. The toughest part is other, and the memories will always be with me and my family.

    Now back to the regularly scheduled program :)

    Notice how the storm track looks like a question mark. Guess they just don't know. :confused5:
