- Matt from AZ was showing off pics of the first MINI he ever rolled. I say first since it seems he is the kind of guy who might roll more. Sweet.
- Whalen was showing off his new "Wing" hat. Imagine a regular, discreet MINI hat, in black. With wings. Imagine that.
- Greg the Aussie is here, wearing 5 layers of clothes because he is not used to the 'cool' climate. 45 and rainy. Big whoop.
- Ryan's mom is in bed. Alone.
- Ryan is on the couch, watching the tool races on the Discovery Channel. Sober.
- Loren was re-reading the MINI service manual. In case he missed something the first time.

The rain has slowed some speeds down, fortunately. And it got dark tonite. Tomorrow is another day. I will report then. Until such time, be cool. We are Motoring for you.

Adios from the Dragon....
Despite the weather I am still jealous of all you , be safe and drink some tequilla for me . Pictures would be appreciated when available.

Friday the fun continued

With a wonderful parade lap up the Dragon, then two great rides for pp to choose from. Not too many losses, not too much heartache, a great deal of fun. Afternoon Group pic (Panoramic) that will make you want to be here. Evening Chili Cook-Off (this, it was good) and pitch in dinner under perfect cool skies. A bit of sunburn here and there and.....

More time at the party cabins. Tonite: Michigan, with Ryan, Stefanie, and her Mom. Boy, can MOM party. Party Party Party. Ryan's mom was back at her cabin in bed. Alone.

Ran out of ice cold beverages so had to call it a night but suffice it to say, tomorrow is yet another ride filled day.

Nite all...

I like the idea of being able to call out, and being able to go on the Net. We can call out to check on the dog. Don't laugh too hard, we did that 2x this trip. The Internet, well, that's for doing things like replying to this post.

OH....you meant work? Unplug work!
