New England Off Topic and Banter as Most Brilliantly Proposed by Cape Cod MINI

[GadgetGav]

I did a track day at NHIS on AVS100's. After one run I thought they wouldn't last the day, but that was just newbie over-reaction. They did form big, rolled lumps of rubber, Iike I'd run over a lot of used chewing gum, but like Josh said, I think that's down to the long edge length. They did hold up all day to at least the level I was able to push them as a beginner and I've been using them on the road since. The switch from snows direct to these this year (no all season intermediates) showed me that they tramline more than snows but are a lot less squirmy in the on ramps.

Wait. What do I mean, "today"..!

What did I ever do to you? You're trashing me in threads all over the place. I thought we were friends And now I'm all out of ice cream to console myself with. You can't cry over jerky. I guess I'll just have to stare at the sun setting over the lake across the street.

Don't. You'll go blind

Too late, Earl. The choice of brown for her MINI was proof of that. But, otherwise, No (I can call you No since we are friends) is able to do activities of daily living moderately well.

All this tyre talk got me a flat last night! We were driving to Keene and the flat tyre light started flashing (we had a false alarm about a week ago). I like Run-Flats.

Attagirl, Beth. All these Schumacher wannabes get a bit tiresome.

[NoNo]

More rain! YUCK.

Looking for tickets to the Sox vs. Devil Rays Saturday 5/27... (sigh) I guess it's off to ebay to try to score some.

On that Saturday, Carol and I are heading up to Ian's Corporate World Headquarters to pack MOT registrations, stop by Amesbury to pick up a just purchased MINI spare tire, down to Waltham to visit #1 son (with freshly turned-out body work on his MINI from Julian), then to Riverside to catch the train into Fenway in time for batting practice. Will have >36,000 miles after that jaunt.

Here comes the sun ....

The thought of that makes me want to vomit. Again. There's nothing left in me at this point. Is there anything I can take to ease the pain or make me stop getting sick? Does food poisoning take that long to kick in? I'm hoping that's all this is and not some kind of virus. Just emailed my instructor to let him know I won't be in this morning. I need to stop taking these classes. Last time I was away my grandfather died. Now this. Returning to the fetal position......
