See? It's such a fun weekend, people can't help but find a car and come to it.

 

That is fantastic news!

 

I was hoping to find a way to sneak in to Fontana for a day. But we just got news that our Granddaughter is being inducted into the Honor society on April 8th in CT. Since I was going to be in CT anyway, Crumpy has decided to fly out for the award event. No way I can sneak out now. Ya'll have fun.


It would not have been much fun in a minivan anyways but I sure would have enjoyed an evening at the grill with you guys.

 

Sorry ya cant drop in Franc but we'll be sure to talk about you at dinner at the grill

 

We won't have anyone to lead us thru the back woods now...

 

Sadly I was not able to detail the interior yesterday. I ended up using the nice weather to clean windows. They haven't been cleaned since winter set in so it was high time. Today I need to work :/ but might get some of the detailing done while waiting on a few downloads.

 

Doing bit of pre inspection on the car before locking it up for the Dragon and I've noticed I have to replace the tires before going to the dragon and not after :/ I'm showing chords on 3 of the 4 tires and by the time I get home tonight it will be on all 4 tires. It's not small patches either. The cords show all the way around. Someone want to give me $1000?

 

It's in you PayPal account now Nick.

NOT !

Pardon me for being shy, but I have my OWN tires to buy.

( do have a free set on my extra NA wheels you are welcome to come get, but I don't think you can make it that far )

 

Sadly the NA wheels won't fit on the Mercedes. I use 225 x18 and 255 x18

 

Mark: I had completely forgotten about the Daniel Boone Trail run with Franc...thanks for the memories ...finally found the rattle that developed during that excursion...See you shortlybut I'll miss Franc...Carl

 

Wished you'd have said something before I put tires on mine... they were only down to the "replace tire" warning..

 

I swear mine are at that mark when I buy the tires.

 

Bobs used tires and diner? Try Discount tire.. LOL

 

That's where I go, but my current tire cycle has me buying tires before every dragon.

 

No, your current DRIVING TECHNIQUES have you buying tires twice a year.

 

Yes, but If I could shift the need for tires to after every dragon instead of before.

 

We will miss you Frank, it was such a laugh at the last meeting. I suppose I am safe to wash my car now, I wasn't going to bother if we were going out with you for a run, lol
Sorry newbies this is an in joke from our last meeting with Frank who took us on a mountain back roads tour

 

That seems fair enough.

 

Officially,I heard it was an "off road" experience. But I don't really know much about it. I wasn't there.

 

After EVERY Dragon, there are always so many inside jokes and stories.... if you miss a Dragon, you miss more than a drive in the mountains.
