    Dave I hope your brother mends fast. Sorry about his indecent involving gravity. When he is all better give him a good talking to & tell him to stay off the roof & ladders.

    Thanks guys, my other brother and I went over and made fun of him last night because he owns a rancher and only fell 1 floor. LOL

    We are looking for a Nerf Ladder and a large driveway mattress. :lol:

    Took the R50 out, aired up the tires and went to a 2 hour drive...it welcomed the nice, Fall weather, which is supposed to end today. Now the car is back in its stall, eagerly awaiting Indian summer and some nicer Winter days. :Thumbsup:

    If the heating pad works on my sore back today I am going to wash my car after work. It needs it from last weekends driving. (Almost 160 miles in one day)

    ...what? You don't have heated seats?

    So long as you don't put a softer suspension and replace the sway bars with 2 mm stuff.

    I took out the horrible MINI OEM "beach chair" seats years ago and replaced them with Recaros from a Mitzu Evo IX. Much better supportive seats and do not need heated seats.

    I pulled my back a little painting the shutters on my 3 floor on a 32 ft ladder last weekend. Unlike my older brother I did not fall. :lol::lol::lol:

    That should be, "Unlike my less graceful older brother I did not fall."

    I put 94 octane, 0% ethanol fuel in my car this morning. The car just purrrred. Noticed the difference right away.

    I have the R53 at the house for a while so took it to work instead of the Mazdaspeed6. I do enjoy the steering & road feel of the R53 - and getting to hear the S/C was a bonus (as always)!

    Enjoyed a nice pretty day and a good drive over to the Dermo Doc in Scooter today, took a nip off my nose and froze a spot or two, best visit yet, most times I get 10-15 freezes, he must have made his numbers for the month. :)

    Scooter did well, traffic was a ***** (it is Boulder, CO...) Took the CM down to the local Chinese place to pickup some takeout, that was good too. :)

    Tomarrow I will take Scooter to the range and see how a friends AR works. :) Maybe shoot the the 22 with the scope for fun.
