Programmed lights to flash on lock/unlock. Also hung a couple of brackets I picked up from The Container Store to hang grocery bags. Tired of finding my vegetables rolling around the boot after shopping.

Moth... you need to stick something like '09 Clubman on your signature so we can remember what you're working on. My brain's too old to remember what car everyone has!

Where did you attach the brackets... what kind did you get?

Sorry Bav. Haven't gotten to it yet. The drone is the biggest problem.
I'll get audio here somehow this week as the weather is improving.

I've actually decided on putting the stock system back on next week and putting the money together for a Nvidia system. It's either that or the WMW Stromosphere. If I go with the Nvidia I'll probably shoot down to Helix and get it from them in a month or so. 4 hour drive but that's ok with me.

You are going to make it snow again if you do this right now. I'm blaming you in advance

OK this is crazy, because that's the same as my mother and father's side. AND... My dad and brother are named Vince. Though as lifelong Chocagoans, they don't allow themselves to be called Vinnie...

That's awesome! I told Vinnie this already, but my fathers name is "Vinny." Well, Vincent, but he goes by Vinny.

Hey, come one, those weather people can just barely get it right! It's snowing here right now. We were supposed to stay dry until after 1 PM. Started to snow at 11 AM. Supposed to be snow showers with little or no accumulation... well, it's up to 1.5 inches and it's dumping steadily.

Gotta roll with the weather deity in charge, and it's a mean one sometimes.
