What did you do with your MINI today?

With the weather I landed late from Calgary and had to jog to my next flight. Thanks for the offer though.

 

Well if you are ever here for a few hours/days, don't hesitate to give me a ring. We will grab a beer or something.

 

Because bad weather was on the way, I drove over to pick up a sandwich at the local Jimmy Johns. On the way back to the office, my butt started burning. I had no idea what the heck was going on, until I discovered that the drink cup in the left cupholder had bumped into the seat heater switch and turned it on to "High."

Only in a MINI... :lol:

 

Driving Scooter to the bank then the eye doc. Hope I can drive back. I hate the extra drops this guy uses. :crazy:

Wish Scooter luck...

Wear your shades Don.

 

Probably not, but I appreciate your noticing. :blush2:

 

I'm going to stand next to it in about 20 minutes while I do a phone interview for a new job.

 

Well, this happened.

Survived the drops, next up another appointment in a couple weeks with another doc. We shall see or not!

Scooter did fine, managed to get to the bank, take some back roads into Boulder, find the gun shop after the eye doc. My parts are in, going to mod the pistol and go shoot on Friday.

TG, it is not my left eye giving me problems.

The hesitation/stumbling got much worse and my gas mileage dropped. After a quick check of the spark plugs, I noticed that plug #3 was sooty. I replaced the injector on #3 this afternoon and proceeded to drive twenty miles. It didn't loose power or hesitate at all. Maybe I have finally solved the problem.

 

Thanks.

The coolant started leaking on me. Took a few days to find the leak. Ended up getting a new thermostat housing unit.

Nick was kind enough to come over and help reconnect the hoses to the unit. With my damaged hands I couldn't push the hoses back on.

 

Perfect day in Colorado on a day off work... 80 degrees to run errands...The Y this morning, Costco to pack the boot and front seat, then some rest.

 

Avoided a pu truck and a fj trying to mod my car.

 

Swaybars help the weave and bob... Glad you got yours on now?

 

It was interesting. The Tacoma would not have done that.

 

I am still taking the 64th and highway 93 left turn home at happy speeds. This is the perfect turn when traffic is right.

 

The tires are now speaking.

 

Just wait, you are still set on full soft...

Might move to the middle hole when we swap Teresa's bar?
