yah, i did... went motoring in my MCS this am. was nice. nice and cool,
65F...guess it would've been a perfect day for a top down car... no?

 

Every day is a perfect day for going topless!
Now off to 8 hours of meeting ... blech.

 

8hrs is a very long time. hope you get luncheon or something....

 

Mmmmm I had a clean shiny MINI for my drive in today!

 

Meeeeeeee toooooooooooo... drive in to the MINI dealership, that is. That's where I am right now.

Inspection I today for the CR Cooper. Last of the three to go through this baptism.

Also having some Hawk ceramic pads installed today, so that when I paint the calipers soon, they'll actually stay red.

Hope Chuck is surviving his full day of meeting(s). There should be a law against day-long meetings. I used to have a Commander in the Air Force who had a rule: No meetings longer than one hour. Good man.

 

hey, did you find your lugs? (ie your PM)...

my MCS is always clean...

 

was over at target and they had 15 red shop towels going for $4.

so got a batch.

 

NO. I am muchly annoyed about this subject, can you tell?

I can find regular ones...I need really narrow tuner ones!

 

gmp listed the ones you wanted, no? couldve sworn they had them listed at their site.

 

hope to get my other stuff tomorrow from griot's.

 

They have them in regular lugs, but not tuner...the holes are REALLY small on these wheels.

 

So I just spent 2 days at work pressure washing lighting and audio cables, like 1000's of feet of the stuff. Had to get mud and gunk off them from an outdoor gig. They are heavy, and we had to bag all the connectors. Someone else gets to wax them I guess, as I'm done there

Mark

 

dang, ive done live gigs long time ago in high school and the cord bags
alone were at least 50lbs or more...

 

gack ... one day down and two more to go. Sixteen more fruitless hours I'm squandering for corporate America. I'd rather be motoring. I'd rather be detailing. I'd rather be taping some else's MINI before having to watch them detail.
I'm spent and I'm done.

 

Meetings suck.

After we finally had our water restrictions lifted here.... the primary 36" water main feeding our town exploded.... so we're on emergency water from backup systems now... but *gasp* no car washing until they get it fixed... which could be WEEEEEEKs.... gack...

 

my neighborhood is going to be flushing the hydrants today, i thinks. i saw a sign up by the entrance. 8am-3pm.

that's a very long time to flush...




going motoring my mcs in about 30.

 

hummm.... griot's package is out for delivery.

now where to put the nozzle rack...

 

weee~

'arrived,' said the wife.

i think im going to mount the rack above my ramps that are hung on the
wall.

 

Seems like, by now, it would have just been cheaper for Griot's to install a conveyor belt to your house.

 

i have a charted UPS truck so it's virtually the same.

 

Rotated and Hydro'd my wheels tonight... and checked fluids.

Installed my new CB last night...

Washed my Griot's microfiber duster for the first time tonight... it was just getting kinda gray (it's white when new)... didn't look totally nasty, but looked a little dirty... so I took off the head and threw it in the sink with some hottish water and a little liquid detergent... and it turned the whole sinkfull of water BLACK... it's unbelievable how much dust was trapped in that thing... now it's almost white again...

 

blimey- do they use any kind of paffarin or some wax on those griot's dusters?

 

Just popping in to say "hello" to my OCDetailer peeps from sunny and HOT New Mexico. Arrived yesterday around 9:30 am local time and I'm already tired of the heat. Do NOT believe what you hear about "but it's a DRY heat". It's still friggin' hot.

Okay, gotta go detail the ugly rental car (I keed, I keed). It only had 35 miles on it when we pulled off the lot. But boy, is it U G L Y (Dodge Calibre). Couldn't talk my SO into anything else... she likes it.

 

CR&PW&JB - ive had those new calibers as rentals from Hertz. it was
complete garbage, just as bad as the Tayato Yaris. i feel very
sorry for you.

to my surprise, we recently got a PT Cruiser as a Hertz rental and we found
that it was TREMENDOUSLY better than the yaris, matrix, caliber, cobalt, etc. in
the 'economy' price range. like some ugly girls, some of them have a nice
personality, so can't take them all by appearance. LOL

 

so i got some new parts coming from japan for my FitS. im going to install a
aftermarket steering wheel with spacers... my FitS has no telescoping
steering column and just can't find that perfect seating position.

with this new setup, i shall.
