So far my party plans are to change the oil on the 911 and replace the windshield squirter pump. I may even get wild and replace the little copper washers for the left side chain tensioner oil line. I replaced that line a year ago and I guess the dumb ass mechanic did not get it tight enough to keep it from leaking. That dang mechanic will even drink beer while working on my car. The good news he does not charge me any money.

Our house is a single level house. There is single short step up from the garage into the house, and a single step from the kitchen out to the back patio. The rest of the house is a slab floor with carpet, tile or wood.

Yep, I can shuffle along on my walker with no obstacles. I go in for hip replacement surgery on The 14th of next month

Really? That is odd. I don't know what the problem is. What browser are you using? I have Firefox with ad blocker and it works for me.

Try these links maybe? Again, they are nothing special but you can get a sense of how awesome it was to be there in person. The fog added to the experience as well.

I had a good bike ride today. I think I made the climb in a personal best time and the descent was fun, too -- no rolling chicanes or rocks in the road. The temperature was cooler than the last weekend I was down but it was still blue sky conditions - no fog.

Then, as I was heading home with the bike on the rack on my BMW, I noticed Magnus Walker's 911 (#277) at the Rock Store along with a couple other 911s (Carrera RS replicas). When I was parking Chad McQueen showed up in his early 911 hot rod. It is a 1970 911T with fiberglass fenders and other racing bits. RS flares so it is a sort of early 911ST replica -- from before the flares got so wide. The motor is a 2.2 on carbs I think. Magnus' car is a 1971 911T track car that he uses on the street. Motor is a carbed 2.4. Not sure of the suspensions on either car but expect upgraded torsion bars and dampers and not much else. Rubber bushings probably.

So I went in with Chad (I've met him before and he recognises me on the bike) and was chatting out on the patio with Magnus, Dave Bouzaglou (from TRE Motorsports), one of his friends, and Chad for about a half hour. Dave was driving a Viper Green RS replica since his black 914-6 that he uses for the fun runs has a damaged front spoiler (casualty of the Targa California). His friend was driving a Tangerine RS replica.

Magnus said his video is done but they are debating about how to release it. It might just end up on Youtube or iTunes. He also expressed interest in driving my car but I told him that needs to wait until I get the rear bushings installed. I also would like some stiffer rear torsion bars or softer fronts.

Ah, life in California.

Okay Max those links worked, thanks. To answer your question I am using Firefox.
I have been looking at Dolphin though. FF is bloating.

My mother had 4 hip replacements. And she was a normal two leg human. My cholesterol will never go above 180 no matter how much pizza and and ice cream I eat. My hips are at risk.

That would work except the grease is from pizza! No zerk is needed.

Okay so you have the genes of a German shepherd (that was a joke) but what does your cholesterol and food have to do with it?
As in Say what?
