    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.

    I didn't really do it today. But two days ago I put my hood scoop on. And yesterday we put up the tent and let it air out. Dragon Dragon Dragon!!!

    Today I removed all my belt line trim and striped the 3M black tape off and spray plasti-dipped them all. I also cleaned and resprayed my side scuttles turn signals with night shades.

    Tuesday, it goes in for an alignment.

    Thought you were going old school chrome for a minute. At least that dippy whip protects the chrome under it. :wink:

    Just drove the MINI today, but I washed, clay barred and waxed our Volvo wagon. Jeez, that thing must be twice as big as the MINI! It plum wore me out.

    Oh I also scuffed and painted my RMW aluminum coolant explanation tank and Forge power steering tanks. I finally got tired of polishing them to a mirror finish so I coated them with a high heat wrinkle finish paint so the match the valve cover I did this winter.

    Also the straight back exhaust has had the big tips de-chromed and painted with the same hight heat wrinkle finish paint.

    He said something about the bumper, but I don't remember the details. I'm not sure if he still paints on the side. It seems like he's at Pat's seven days a week. I suppose I can ask next time I see him.

    The most exciting thing I did this weekend was Laps around the Short North waiting to pick my fiance up after she went to a drag show at Axis. By goodness that was nightmarish. I had to do this for 45 mins because the show ran late. Damn drag queens!!

    Im still bitter because I got nothing in return for giving up my evening to be a DD. NOTHING!

    Her and the other girls had a blast. And got extremely intoxicated. Hence why I didn't get any of the benefits of being a good fiance and giving up a beautiful Saturday evening to be a DD.

    Just finished washing mine to remove the wax in preparation for the new stripes install tomorrow. Now, of course, 100% chance of rain tomorrow. :(
