    Finally got out for a bit of a run, been a while, but it was a great way for me to stay socially distanced (immunocompromised), while out with some folks.

    Started the Helmet a few days ago and let it run. Tomorrow I plan on taking it to work. I haven’t driven it in some time now.

    Well today the Clubbie had Heuvos Rancheros and a nice little drive thru the city. Sadly we are going to red severe in Colorado on Friday, so no more inside dining.

    Come on American get your shit together, I am really tired cancelling flight plans and staying home like a good boy.

    Mask up,
    Don

    Since we're not allowed to socially gather, I took a day off and went motoring all by myself.

    I had just put the winter tires on. I will post up shots of that soon. Next day, it warmed up above the freezing temps at night. Kind of like the washing car your car makes it rain syndrome.

    It was. Took 3 days off, ended being called in to work on 2 of those three days. So I just turned everything off. Have to do solo drives in this day of social distancing and COVID.

    Winter tires on the three MINIs

    Solo Motoring in the rain (COVID responsible). Reifel Island bird sanctuary to downtown Ladner BC, highlighted by crossing a single lane wooden bridge. 10 minutes of your life you'll never get back if you sit and watch the whole thing.

    Bridge looks like it would be pretty slippery when raining.

    Looks like some snow is on the horizon here in Western Ohio next week, so my snow tires are going on my S on Friday. Even though my tires are all season, I'm pretty sure they'd be about worthless, as they are more of a 3-season tire.

    Snow tyres are great. IMO they are got to have footwear for a MINI. Well other cars too. The only trouble with them is once you've driven in real snow with them you will never go back to 3 season tires.

    I think I'll try & wait another couple of weeks before the snow shoes go on Skooby. The GTI doesn't get snow shoes, if it snows I take the clubster or I stay home.

    The only MINI in our stable that doesn't get snow tires is the R50. The 2 R53s get snow tires. The R50 stays inside during snowy, slushy weather.
