    Great pizza with Pat at Zamparelli's tonight, the Countryman enjoyed the drive. :)

    I get to time-share the MINIs with me for 2.5 weeks, Pat is on the way back to Virginia again, maybe in a week I will have a new granddaughter. :)

    C&C this weekend, I will try to take a picture or two.

    Installed (soft-wired) a 3X 12V + 'quick-charge' USB extension box today, so now I can run all my devices (iPhone Waze-nav and the radar detector), and charge my wife's phone and my Android tablet.

    I may hard-wire it if it works out.

    I have 2 extra hardwired sockets I installed under my dash out of sight for my V1 radar & Garmin. All the wires run up the A-Pillar and under the headliner.

    The wires are tucked under the headliner so if I need them I can pull them down and plugin for long trips. (Dragon)

    In a few minutes mine will be magically transformed from fun mobile into grocery getter. I don't like relegating her to such mundane chores, but I sold my pickemup truck last month and my son's borrowing the Suburban for the next couple of months. I hate grocery shopping, but I'm out of beer and snacks. :( I'm holding off scraping the bugs off her until I install my new wheels next week.

    Dave you've got to drive it to burn the tires down...

    It's kinda like how I've got 4 YEARS of use from a single set of NT-01's... ;)
