And I ended up doing the paper on Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes.

I thought there was too much for me to fit into 3 pages if I did Jefferson Airplane.

Went for a drive with the Early S guys today.
To the top of Mt. Washington

Then on into Maine where we ended up here

385 miles of fun.

Whew. I am all showered and clean. I had to get rid if my inner child and replace him with a inner gorilla. That hose connection is now tighter. Hopefully tight enough to not leak. If not I will have to hire a real gorilla or weld a extension on the 36 mm wrench. The autocross tomorrow will be a real test of a leak.

Pete, great photos. Someday I will have to drive up that way. I wonder if Main is further away from me than the Florida keys?

It will not be in the winter!

That is amazing that the Keys are the same distance as Vermont. So Main is actually farther than the Keys. I have a friend that keeps inviting us to drive down and spend a week at their house in the Keys. Either trip would be two very long days of driving.

Parade for 2013 is set for Michigan. Maybe it will be in VT someday.

well, if you were willing to fly me out or pay fuel, i could come out and build them on the spot and get the OS up and running and so on. that would be fun. and i am absolutely anal about getting things set up properly.

if you aren't willing to do that, i am happy to do a bit of research and suggest hardware and such.

i don't claim to know everything about any OS, but i can figure it out. period.

Good evening guys. It looks a line of storms coming through at midnight. Autocross may be a washout.

Hmmm. Looks like I do have a voltage regulator/alternator problem, after all. Drat.

Good morning. The autocross was a partial success. Everybody got 4 runs in and the rains came. .



Some cool clouds. So I took a picture of my car in the rain. Then I came home.
