I might even bring my Schroth harnesses.
Katie...sounds like someone would like you to try his...I only have one out of the three.

I'll take you and Paul to dinner sometime to thank you for giving me driving lessons.

I talked with Grumbler again today. It sounds like he's going to try and make it. Although, like a bunch of people, he's trying to shake off the last bits of a cold.

We all have differences between ours - maybe she should drive all three!

Yours definitely will sound the best...

Thats true...and we might have to drive Lenore to a more remote area, so that we dont wake the neighbors with the DPSM

Up to you Katie, Mine may not have all the bells and whistles (not that I think Mr. OEM isnt a nice MINI), but Lenore is still pretty cool in her own way. Besides, we will be all dressed up... Its gonna be hard enough for me to get TO your party in a dress and heals! We can always go for a drive in the warmer months.

I may wear my Batman mask to go with my neck. I had to pick up some furniture yesterday which required removal of my truck bed cap. With no one to assist, I picked it up on my own putting a lot of pressure on my shoulders and neck.

My neck is pretty sore and like Batman, it's easier to turn my entire body towards what I want to look at... Hehe... FWIW, I got help putting the cap back on.

from a previous thread
WHERE: 627 Old County Rd. Severna Park MD 21146
DIRECTIONS:
Get on Rte. 50 from the easternmost side of 495. Exit 19
Go approximately 30 miles EAST on 50.
After crossing the Severn River bridge, take the next exit #27 to Rte. 2 NORTH, towards Baltimore.
You will see a sign for 648 north right after getting onto Rte 2. IGNORE THIS ONE.
Past the ignored sign, you'll come to a traffic light. Go through it (after it turns green, of course) and look for another 648 NORTH sign, approximately 1/4 mile past the light, on the left.
Get into the left turn lane as you will be crossing southbound Rte.2 to get onto 648 NORTH.
Once on 648NORTH, go approximjately one mile.
At that point, Old County Road vees off to the LEFT. Make that left onto Old County Road, and go another mile or so. Our house, 627, will be on the RIGHT, just over the crest of a hill.

Hey everyone, I'm sure everyone is off of the forum until after the party, so I just wanted to advise you that I will be unable to make it after all. Like Will, I too have just tweaked my neck. So I will be loaded up on flexiril today which won't make for good driving (plus a tweaked neck makes it hard to turn and look around when changing lanes). Sorry I will be unable to make it Katie. I was looking forward to seeing you all! Happy Holidays!! ~ Janelle
