    Headed out this morning very early & drove the Riverrun route. Beautiful wonderful day for a drive on Ohio's finest back roads. The supercharger was singing its song in hills. :D Lots of Amish folk out working their land today. Just like you Chuck. :wink:

    Sorry I didn't think of that. I did a lot of stopping & staring at maps. The route is in better shape, but still needs a couple of runs to add mileages & then one run a couple of days before the event. The state likes to close roads on us, don't want to be surprised. :incazzato:

    Egad - polishing last night exposed myriad hairline cracks in my 5+ year old trademark "Blimey" laminated stripes... which were custom made by someone who no longer makes such things.

    Welp... I know what I'll have to deal with after MOTD.... this won't be fun.

    Have been contemplating the nekked look for a while now... looks like I'll give that a try, at least for a while.

    Just having the word meth on the site raises flags someplace at the NSA. Their software will pretty ignore it due to the context.

    So lets really raise a flag.

    Washed it, waxed it, replaced the brake fluid, and put on the skid plate.

    Now to start packing.

    My Hyundia Accent was drooling over all the Mini's it spotted in Marblehead in MA. I was amazed how many Mini's were there today. about every 10 cars was a Mini! At least I have "Mini 10 years in USA" sticker in my window.
