Morning all. still holding out on food for the blood draw. Good thing I'm home alone since I'm getting cranky.

Great chatting with you too. Yeah...doesn't seem that long ago but i just looked over at the side of the refrigerator and yup there's a Jay Peak parade magnet ...2016,

Pete, since going up into New England, and all the other parades since, I rolled 191,400 miles on my 911 as I arrived home from Parade 2023.

I was curious so I checked a map, and Parade 2025 will be a whopping 10 miles for me. Parade 2024 just 700 miles each way to Birmingham.

Hopefully as far as Bar Harbor. Going through southern Vermont assuming we don't need an amphibious vehicle.

Which section are you located in?

About mid way up on the east side in the town of Topsham. Give me a call if you want to meet up
802-439-5195

Brent and Pete, meeting up. Cool. I have met ya both, and you two will get along fine! I wish I could join ya but it is a long long way off for me.

Slacker! You make all those long trips in the 911, you don't even neet to "parade" clean it!

Pete, we are coming through Plainfield and Woodstock.

Woodstock is 53 miles south of me and Plainfield is 22 mi. north.
I'm right on your way.

Having fun in the garage. I went out to do a simple 20 minute fix. I came in four hours later.

In California, in the heat, the rear view mirror fell off. I have changed my mirror from the stock unit to a modern unit. It automatically darkens when some fool is behind me in a jacked up vehicle with insane bright headlights trying to blind me.

It also has a thermometer, and a compass and the main thing I wanted, it has the buttons for the garage door programmed in, so it is easier to pull right into either garage door. It also provides me a power source for the radar detector, and a place for the detector to mount.

The power cable for the detector pulled out when the mirror fell off the windshield. It uses two small pins that have to go into the right connector spots. I had to figure out what pin goes where since I installed it a long time ago.

That is done. I sure love the AC in the garage. It was nice and cool out there.

W will be in Woodstock Monday night at some point. Will give you a call Monday once I know about what time. On to Plainfield NH from there.

Thought you meant Plainfield ,VT.
Plainfield, NH. is 49 miles south of me....my daughter lives there.

49 miles up there is two hours of diving with all the mountains in the way. In La Quinta the trip was short in miles, but long due to traffic. They have insane long traffic lights, and not one is synchronized, so go less than a mile and wait for 4 minutes at the light.

In New Mexico, there was just desert and open roads, and lots of HEAT but traffic was almost none at times.

Today is mow the yard time. Tomorrow I get the stitches out. I am ready, they are starting to itch and I want em gone.

Pete and Brent, have a good meeting, two of the nice guys from Pelican get to meet.

Yesterday when I was in my garage, I made a list of some items I was low or out of, so I ordered them. The blue Scotts paper towels, one case. Oil for the 911, 12 quarts, and some ATE Type 200 brake fluid, and few other items. Non were needed right away.

The brake fluid showed up this morning. I don't need it until next spring, but if I waited to order it, when I need it, I would be out, and then it would be back ordered.

Ah well. On the shelf it goes.

We are staying in woodstock abd hope to be in between 5 and 6. Call you around noon since we should have a better idea then.

Morning all. Almost a typical weekend. Grandkid over yesterday. Now its off to work for 8-9 hours.

3 weeks till vacation! Lets hope I still have a job to come back to.

Jobs are over rated as long as your wife makes a good wage!

Pete, lefta message with our cahnge in plans and forgot to leave my number so I sent a PM with it. Practically forget how land lines work!

Morning all. One down four to go. Tonight is trivia night. Time to go lose but eat well.

The stitches are out!

Hey Pete and Brent, did ya get to meet up?
