Zaino Tribal Initiation Update

<sound of drums beating, Thump, thump, thump thump, Thump, thump, thump, thump>

<potential inductees turn their gaze skyward, and ask the Oracle, 'Will it Rain? Will we be inducted into the tribe? Tell us, O Wise Mistress'>

<Oracle answers, 'Yes it will rain, but it will prove your commitment to joining the tribe, and the rains will cease for the true believers>


So, apparently the Oracle has spoken, and if we have strong enough faith in the purity of our cause, the rains will cease as we begin the initiation ceremonies.

<applause, cheering, fireworks explode, drums beat louder, sun comes out, food shows up, and we've got a party!>

Bottom line: We're On! It's a Zaino Party!

I have PMd my address and phone number to each of the registrants. Please call if you have any questions. Looks like some sacrificial food will magically appear thanks to true believers and well wishers, and we thank them heartily

Please remember to bring your Zaino products (or use mine for $25), your own towels (soft cotton), and I'll provide all the rest of the supplies. Ceremonial costumes are optional Ceremonies will begin at 10am for the first inductees, and 11:30 for the rest.

And bring your cameras! Might be some great pictures to enter in the 'Wet and Wild' contest

Before Zaino.................................



I wonder how Maxi will look like, after using the product.

I wish Maxi could join the party this Saturday.

But definitely, she won't miss the next one.

Aw, c'mon Chris. Maxi looks GREAT in that photo. It would be hard to improve on that finish, no matter WHAT product we used. Heck, I can practically see myself in the shine on your tires

See you Saturday

Okay folks, it's Z minus 18 hours and counting. The Weather Channel is calling for rain in the morning, showers in the afternoon, and 70% chance of precip.

I'll understand if any or all of you want to bail for tomorrow Just so you know, we can fit 3 MINIs in my garage (I just checked) to do the claybar and Zaino, but the washing will have to be done outside in the rain. So if you're willing to wash your cars in whatever Mother nature dishes out, we can still do this. Totally up to you.

Please let me know what you're going to do ASAP. You (the registrants) have my phone number, so feel free to check in and chat. Sure wish the weather forecast on Wednesday had been right about tomorrow

Aw shucks! i was SO looking forward to sensuously shampooing Cecelia's sexy sheet metal, and methodically massaging Zaino into all of the nooks and crannies of her voluptuous vinyl contours I even put the scented candles and a mood music boom box out in the garage so I'd be ready

This would HAVE to be a winner in Maxi's photo contest... Wet & Wild

Hey, I'm still in! Please call me, Ed, if it's postponed, as I probably won't be checking my email again. I'll be leaving my house by 8:30am. See you tomorrow!

Christine

Wonderful news

Zaino, rain gear, cameras, noodles, MINIs, brownies (oops, leaked a secret)... YUMM!

Nothing like the smell of wet MINIs, bench racing, and good friends sharing good times

We start at 10am, rain or shine. I'll only be able to check my computer up until about 9am, and after that, you'll have to call to get me. Hope to see all the folks who signed up tomorrow. Bring your rain gear (and maybe a change of clothes in case you get wet ), and we'll have a terrific time

Depends on how many show up. My guess is that the earliest we'll finish is 2pm. Might go later. Come and go as you please

You sure you don't want to take that sailing lesson tomorrow? Hope you can join us

I'm planning on heading out at 9 - maybe a little earlier so I can stop and get some donuts or something. Dave commented that he thought Cricket was "a little dirty", implying that I'm not doing my job. She needs a bath, even if it rains.
