    Hooked up the battery tender. Since it's been raining for days (check local listings) and it hasn't been out, decided to treat it to a few new electrons. If I could sell a couple of these last few days of rain to California, I'd be flying Bertie around in our private jet.

    Yesterday I bought two 5 quart jugs of Mobil 1 0W40 for the Mini. Today I submitted the form for $24 rebate. Net cost $2.35 quart. I hope they do a rebate in the fall like they did last year. Gotta love a deal like that.

    Fitted my new 15x8 6UL track wheels w/Nitto NT01 tires, worked out what spacing I need, and scrubbed them in on my favorite local twisty road. OMG I'm in love. :cornut:

    Okay, this is actually what I plan to do with my MINI tomorrow.

    Tomorrow is my birthday, and I plan to drive my MINI to my favorite barber shop for a haircut and a shave. I also plan to take my MINI to my favorite car wash for a complete cleaning, inside and out. I usually do that myself, but it's my birthday. I also plan to have lunch at my favorite pub, that serves up a really good Haddock and chips, which I will wash down with a good pint.

    After that, the MINI and I will settle in for a nap. After that, the MINI stays parked in the garage, while I resume eating and drinking.

    Happy Birthday CD! Sounds like a good day you have planned.

    My Mini celebrated a different milestone today. 129,000 miles!

    Got called cute again... not me... GIR. Two young ladies pulled up next to us at a traffic light and the driver asked if I knew if it was raining (I had the windows half down, it was only sprinkling), I look around and informed her that I had noticed and I asked her why, she look at GIR and told me that I was getting my cute little car all wet. :blush2:
