It's suppose to be sunny in the upper 60's lower 70's range, perfect day. 8)

Check your oil.

This has been a public service announcement.
It bears repeating:

CHECK YOUR OIL!!!
Don't ask me how I know this.

Man, because I am fairly poor lately, I didn't sign up for this Saturday's event, but I forgot that it was in Brooksville and should have put my name on the list because I would like to at least hang out and watch - and maybe ride along and help some noobs.

Any chance of squeezing me in as a spectator?

I don't think that is an option at this point.

The access list for the airport has already been submitted.....

Sent you a note back; unfortunately, the lead time airport security imposes makes last-minute adds impossible.

Wheels have been swapped! 8) Better to do it tonight then tomorrow when I'm trying to get to bed early.

And I'm glad I checked, I thought I left the power adapter for the laptop in the black timer case. It was sitting on my black futon! That would not have been very good. :shock:

Might not be a bad idea to store our backup laptop DC/DC converter somewhere IN the trailer so it's impossible for us to end up without that.

We should probably test that if you didn't already? I'm assuming one of those adapters worked and it has an appropriate voltage on it?

And you even spelled it the Canadian way!

I checked mine this morning, full up! Still pretty clear, too... and it's got 3000 miles on it (mostly highway miles from my trip to TN) at this point.

See everybody in the morning! Car is loaded up and ready to go.

Same here! truck is hitched up and loaded with water and soda. Checked the Vee oil, started up the engine to irritate the neighbors and topped off the fuel. Officially chomping at the bit! See you guys in the morning!
