EB/B MCS in Mchenry

EB/B MCS on 12 in Fox Lake

last night 11pm ish:
CR/B(?) on 21 in libertyville headed north. you were on the phone and i ferociously waved to you even though it was really dark out.

today 10am:
BRG/W MCS headed 21/ winchester- on the phone. i literally turned and waved at you, but you were really engulfed in your conversation.

10:15ish:
RG/B MCS on Peterson by the dump. we both looked at one another- i flashed my lights but i think it was too late for you to see.

PW MINI just ahead of me on Milwaukee in Niles around 3-ish. Couldn't catch up before turning onto Touhy.

LB MINI, CA plates -- westbound Devon Ave around 3-4pm. Driver seemed bored by traffic. Hope my wave brightened his drive a bit.

Passed a CR MCS heading south on Ridge Rd. Tried to make eye contact, driver seemed oblivious to my presence. No wave attempted.

we had 2 SG MINIs on the Jelly Belly run... Greg and Ellen... Greg usually shows up for most of the CMMC runs... I don't remember their names, but there was an SG when we went to Indy for MTTS (he had a number decal on the doors) I don't remember seeing a VR on any runs I've been on... I did see one on a used car lot before winter...

DS/B MCS parked on Foster Ave., W of Harlen Ave.

Hey MiniMac2005,
Do you live/work around Park Ridge? I work around NW Hwy and Potter, so I'm surprised we haven't traded waves. Of course, that would be difficult cause I'm not looking for Elements!

If you come across a BRG/G MCC anywhere on Golf Rd between Glenview and Arlington Hts Rd, that's me I work in EGV. My wife drives the Element during the week. She works at LGH in Park Ridge.

I thought I saw a post that you are doing MOTD??? there's a bunch of us CMMC going... let me know
