If it makes you feel better.. rain and storms here.. means packed wheel wells with mud from the driveway and slung on the car. Planning on doing a "quickie" on the way. Knowing the forecast I just didn't see much sense in a spit shine over the weekend.

But it is alsop supposed to be partly cloudy and 65-70 Saturday and Sunday and that is what I care about
I saw the weather as well. I read it as afternoon Thunderstorms, which is common for us in the spring.

Weather.com shows rain Friday but little chance otherwise.
We never know!

OK car detailed, clay bar, and wax, tires shined, tank full, ready to rock and roll on Thursday morning. I havent heard much from Shaun on the forum, perhaps he is saving all he words for the lodge evenings. I hope he is as much fun as he was in the fall, perhaps the alcohol had something to do with it. Cant wait to see everyone again and the new folks as well. Safe driving everyone.

Pending traffic I think we will leave Lebanon around 1:00 Central time and should be in Fontana at 5 or 5:30 eastern time.

Still some patches of snow up on the top of the Skyway, but it was melting off. I wouldn't expect any left after tomorrow. Road is in good condition, just some white residue/stains from earlier salting.
