Aye, he's still over at the base with his buddy. Should be home soon though.

I need a Deacon update "fix".

 

Winds at 19kts waves at 3 foot... just past Santo Domingo, maybe 2-3 days before heading into the locks..

 

For the next week or so, DO NOT waste time in Photoshop when you could be out motoring.

 

Makin' good progress. It wont be long until the web cam vigil.

 

Here are some quick pics at the dealer... took longer to get going than I thought, and the wrong wheels (but they're replacing them next week).

Gone Motoring....

 

Emily,

Very very nice, looks like you have the stubby antenna on samwise or am I seeing things in my old age?

Great first pictures, congratulations, tell us how the drive is later. Enjoy the drive and drive safe.

I will post a picture later of scooter and his new friend, only lot shots.

Great you have a beautiful MINI.

 

WUWUWUWU!!!!

Congrats Emily!!! Samwise is a great looking car! Digging the sport stripes! Enjoy your motoring this afternoon!

 

Gee, you just pick it up and already you've backed over a curb?

Looks good. I like that stripe. What wheels are you getting?

 

Mike,
Any chance you could check on AISLive to see if the Patriot has gotten into NYC yet? The last update on sailwx was at 1100GMT, and WW's site hasn't been updated to indicate that it has made it to the port...

Chris

 

I can try, I havnt activated my AIS Account yet... I'll let you know what I can find.

 

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, he's sooooo cu........errrr, wait...wrong word. He's so handsome! He's so bada$$. He's soooo H.O.T.

You did good, Emily!!

Mike salivates more and more these days....his slobbering is becoming messy and irritating. I wish Deacon would get here faster!

Go motor, Emily!! You've earned it!

 

Sorry, AIS is giving me SQL errors, I'll try after I go get dinner

 

Samwise looks great Emily! I like those black stripes on him. It some more pizzazz to an already beautiful Mini.

Congrats on finally taking delivery

 

It should be safe to submit a request for it now. Unless something drastic happens the Carmen will make it Port Hueneme within 13 days. The trial is supposed to be 14 days but they seem to like to cut it off early. Well, at least early for us in the US due to time differences.

 

How far out was the Patriot with at the last reported info from sailwx?

There is another AIS site ShineMicro that has free coverage of parts of the US waters, including the NY area. I'm not seeing the Patriot listed there. Either it is too far out from land or it is already in port. The ShineMicro system only reports moving ships so once it docks, it goes off of their maps.

 

Mike was getting SQL errors. We may have to call you with our login info., Gary....so you can work your magic.

 

Ah, that happened with me a time or two as well. Their site is down when that happens. I'd send them an email about it, they might extend the trial by a day due the site not being accessible.

 

All I can see is Europe and New Zeland :(

 

Wow, global climate change really has had drastic effects.

 

 

Global climate change, whatever makes sense. Does this mean I'm going to be living on beach front? I did not know I'm buying Southern Coastal Land for my decendants.

Late this afternoon I got the call, my good car buddy finally had his Ferrari 360 get delivered to his shop today. I went down and took a few pictures to record the day. This is a 1999 360 with 9400 miles and it is nice. It has the special CF seats with tan leather, 6 speed.

Scooter made friends with his little red horse buddy without to much of a problem. We will compare seat of the pants, kick in the butt acceleration later this week when we have more time.

Here's a little snapshot of today's afternoon treat.



Not a very good picture of scooter, but he did let me drive him back to the house before the thunderstorm with all the rain drenched our little city.

 

WOWZERZ Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice ride~! And I must say, the color choice is exceptional.

Maaaan, that's a nice car. Mike and I are drooling.

Can he come up to MITM and play with us?

 

Soooo, uhhhhh, things have gotten a little quiet in here since Gary, Emily, and Elijah took delivery of their MINIs over the last 2 days.

 

Don... I'm... stunned with envy, that is one of my favorite Ferrari Autos.

Pasta Rocket **** FTW!!!

 

Nice car! The Ferrari is nice too.

You'll have to give us a detailed description of the seat-of-the-pants differences between the two. My last ride in a Ferrari was in 1967 with a new GTB4. 0-80-0 between stop signs...
