    Yeah, yeah, yeah...I'm waiting for you to start it up in the garage without opening the door. :ihih: And, with all the windy, rainy weather headed your way, it WILL get wet when you DO open up the garage. You'll be spending the rest of the weekend drying your garage and car out.:lol: Your Mistress will be seeking a new Mister, Mister!

    Yesterday I took Ruffian in for her pre-Dragon oil change and once-over, plus some upgrades & preventative maintenance:

    * ATI damper pulley
    * VibraTechnics upper motor mount
    * Powerflex lower control arm bushings & front sway bar bushings
    * new coil & wires (OEM)

    Now it's just a matter of waiting for the departure date, with a wash/clay bar/wax immediately before. :cornut:

    ....the weather guessers can't get tomorrow's forecast correct, I'm sure their projections for donut day will change several times before then.

    The Countrygal had a new coolant hose assembly replaced by MAG that was leaking, the oil changed and cleaned inside and out. Now I'll have "happy wife-happy life" when she returns from Florida on Sunday.

    Our donut day(s) are the 3rd Saturday of every month at Tim Hortons in New Albany, Ohio. You're welcome to join us so that you don't have to wait until June 5th.

    Washed the summer tires and wheels. Put a coat of wax on the wheels.
    Found out the scent of the wax attracts mosquitoes. :eek6:

    This is preparation for summer tires going back on my car tomorrow. Off with the snowtires.

    I am seriously thinking about doing the same thing, but being the middle of March and we can still get snow into April......think I will hold off even if it is 60+ out right now.
