Fall is usually a difficult time for me to get away, but when you toss out some dates, I'll certainly give 'em a look! I'd like to stir the pot for the Chattanooga adventure. I hope those plans work out. That would be a trip to remember, too!

Since I know I can't go to MITM this year (
) and I remember how fun Eureka Springs was last year with the EIM clan, I keep finding myself returning to ponder this...

Has this event cross any other local minds? I'm thinking of experiencing the scenic overlook of the Buffalo River Canyon (obscured by fog when we were there) at the peak of the fall color season.
No firms plans. Just stirring the pot.

Well stirred! Would have to give that some serious thought but I like it.

I am in a padded cell wearing a straight jacket because I could no longer deal with a car that has not been properly cleaned for 6 long months.
(But the voices in my head are keeping me company
) And they are letting me out Sunday to detail Gozer so I think I will be okay after that.

I haven't been in a padded cell, even though some days I think I should be placed there 
. I have been busy with weddings and running across the nation (mainly west) and waiting for warm weather.

I try to make this my life motto: "A ship is safe in port but a ship isn't built for the port." Good thing that is just an analogy because I am scared of sharks and wouldn't really go in the ocean!

Tomorrow: ? of Snow/43...r u serious?

My MINI caught a cold from the R4TH2 trip. The "Death Rattle" is back with a vengeance! It happens on every start up and then its gone after 10-15min. But then can be heard again when I take corners. It's at the dealership right now getting fixed under warranty from last year's fix.
I have a 2011 Cooper Non-S for a loaner vehicle.
CR/W, Sun-roof, heated seats, KH stereo. Its a smooth ride but the Automatic has got to go!

Why do you need a new windshield? It was just a tiny chip right?
