If it is Monday, I plan to be there between 10:30 AM (depending on traffic and paperwork at the body shop). Let me know which ***** you would like me to bring. They feel real nice...especially the African Blackwood.

I've been eyeing the African Blackwood #19 ****. Looks like a shape that will feel really nice in the hand. Hmmmmm.

You are you getting a manual transmission, right? Can't swap ***** on the automatics.

Anyway, pickup time is a good time to swap *****. Ben is experienced at removing the factory **** (he is quite strong).

I think that might have been the original scheduled arrival date at Port Hueneme but the Carmen left Southampton late. Mike, if you look at the WW tracking page what dates does it have listed for Manzanillo and Port Hueneme? Their tracking page is normally pretty accurate +/- one day.

Congrats. Drive carefully.

While you wait that two hours, check out this thread on checking out your new MINI before you accept it.

Now it's down to the garage to Dynamat.

Yep, manual!

Hmm, even if I pick up Sam on Saturday, I might be able to sneak away from work (in Fremont) to stop by and meet up w/you.

I'm suddenly picturing a guy in a trenchcoat with ***** attached inside.... psst, hey you, yeah you with the MINI, come over here and take a look at these....

Well, I would, except then I'd have to take my dogs with me and that wouldn't work (we have two 60 lb lab mix puppies, we call them puppies but one is 10 years old the other 8). We don't have a doggie door so they would be crossing their legs by the time we made it back home.

The Panama Canal's Daily Traffic Report has it listed as arriving at the Canal on the 6th and passing through it on the 7th. That is quite good, very little delay. The ships headed Southbound through the Canal generally go through it in the afternoon, evening while the Northbound traffic goes through in the morning/afternoon.

If the current schedule holds true from the traffic report, the Carmen doesn't appear to be delayed due to lock maintenance. I'll dig up the links for the webcams at the Canal. Emily and I were able to get screen captures of the Isolde as it going past the Centennial Bridge and then again as it went through the final locks lowering it down to the level of the Pacific Ocean.

I did a quick search, here is the link to the web cams.

Yeah, well... Remember when TV's had *****? Well I got my first wife a tee shirt with a picture of such a TV on it. The volume and channel ***** were strategically placed. Under it was a slogan: "I'm perfectly adjusted, so don't touch the *****." For some reason, she wouldn't wear it. I guess she wanted people to touch her *****...
