What's everyone doing.....besides FREEZING?

Once the weather warms up we have to get the Beer 30's or plan to meet up for these Cars & Coffee days.

Better yet just plan an early AM drive just OFF INTO THE COUNTRYSIDE!

Anyone besides Lee going to the Dragon this year?

Over 2 hours to get over there. Not really family friendly.

Anyone even considering the Dragon? I need to see if I can join into a group getting a cabin or split a room since I am solo.
If you are wondering what it's all about, if it's any fun, then just watch this!

I am not sure who is in the black car but if it was Billman I wouldn't be surprised as that's how I felt when I was driving behind him! Every turn just a little less of a glimpse of the car and once you round that corner and you don't see them anymore..........you don't see then AGAIN!!!!

I got a crash course in water heater maintenance and repair this weekend. Replaced the heating elements and still trying to figure out how to *properly* drain this thing. Water isn't as hot as it should be after new elements were installed. Might have to crank up the thermos. Time to do all fluids and caliper rebuilds on the S, fix the coolant leak on the F150, and wash/wax both the truck and tsx this weekend. Baby's room is all ready to go. Good thing we've got Monday off!

Yeah apparently the thermos are calibrated? Just swapped the heating elements and I guess they pulled more Ohms than the previous ones. Cranked it up to 135 and the water is nice and hot now. All fluids in the S have been changed, and I rebuilt all 4 of the calipers. F150 is fixed now too. All in all a very productive weekend.

I wanted to go to the dragon again this year, but I have a conflict. Willing to meet locally once all of this salt gets off the roads.
