    Summer tires on, but then Man Flu hit immediately after (fever, aches, upper GI, etc.).
    I hope it blows over quickly.

    Took the un-MINI for a back road drive into the country with a couple of good friends. Amish lunch in Shreve Ohio. Fun roads, good company & great food. :D

    I'm really hoping it'll blow over in a day or two. I have a really full work schedule
    tomorrow and will have to decide early tomorrow am which way things are going.

    Took the wife out for lunch and a drive on the local rural twistys - which is a rarity for her to come. After less than 2 minutes she said that she's glad that she's not coming to the dragon (although I registered her).

    Moved it out of the way so I could ride the Harley. We're having a series of great spring days (check local listings) and the back roads are screaming for cycle riders.

    I guess that Spring may finally be here, so I'm taking a chance and changing out the snow tires on our 2 MCSes.

    I changed my spark plugs. The hard part was getting to #2,3,4 since they are under the GP IC.

    Complete job took an hour.

    Dont have any Traction Control left on the Rat-MINI, but the Launch Control works wonders! :)

    No didnt drive that one today, stayed in the Porker, and hated the clutch and throttle the entire time! :p

    Oil change, Trans fluid change, brake flush & ABS bleed and alignment next week.

    Oh yeah and fuel pump upgrade and fuel filter replacement.

    Then all that's left to do is buy beer.
