Well we are in Williamsburg,KY at the Days Inn. Got here on a nice twisty road, through Mammoth Caves park, but it was pouring rain, so we could not see much. Rain washed the bugs off pretty good though
. I have a real flaky Wi-Fi connection.

No, but the Banana Gas is beading like crazy
I put some on the windshield too, so along with the new Bosch wipers we could see the clouds we were motoring through real good
Time to try out the bed, hope to get rolling early tomorrow

ahhhh~! nice idea on the wax on glass.
i should get those bosch single strip blades too for my G, not that
i drive that car in the rain, but those single strips are more attractive
looking.
hope you get some good night sleep for tomorrow!
my biz trip rule: eat little, drink little while traveling.

Whew... I think I'm about done... was gonna strip my visor decals (I have them covered with MINI wings stickers now) but think I'll skip it. Gotta pull the Chrono Pack and either pop some bubbles on my vinyl wrap on there, or peel it off if I can't get it to look good... bummer... may do one more good brake pressure bleed... OK, it never ends...

there could have been an emotional (not so much physical) tear down i may never have recovered from.
