It was my pleasure to help out in a way I can.
I need to buy you a glass of wine or a drink, thank you very much
She prefers champagne. Also, she's easy, but not cheap, or is it the other way? I can never remember...

Jim and I texted yesterday and he and Chris will not be attending. They had other things come up that couldn't be ignored.

I have started prepping the car and myself.
I need to do some of that this week. Oil change, tranny and diff lube, etc. The time delay may be Costco. I am hoping that in their July sale flier that generally starts on the 9th includes $70 off a set of Bridgestone tires. FWIIW: The last time around Costco was $150 less (with the $70 coupon) per set than any other quote that I had previously. I timed it almost perfectly. After the TomCatt Run, I am almost down to the wear bars on my RE-11's. Not enough for the 5200 mile trip that we have mapped out.
I just ordered four new RE 050's at Costco, today. Did you end up getting your RE-11's there, Matt?

I didn't shop around this time but just ordered them. Bottom line $964.91 including the $70 discount. Prices have gone up.

I had the new "sneakers" installed today. The RE-11A's have been discontinued so I ordered and replaced them with RE71R's. With the $70 off at Costco the total came to $573.20 out the door. According to Looter and Tire Rack the new model (RE71R) is and improvement, and is suppose to handle as well,if not better . Of course, only time will tell. I loved the RE-11's, but the RE-11A's did in fact handle as well and it would have gotten over 16,305 miles out of them. I replaced them after the TomCatt Run because they were almost down to (but not quite) the wear bars. I have NOT REALLY "driven" on them yet. But it will be interesting to see if they are an improvement over the RE-11A's that I LOVED. I guess that the price differential is because these extreme performance summer tires (with no mileage guarantee) will keep a revenue stream for Bridgestone?

Wow, what a difference between California prices and Virginia. I cancelled my Costco order for the RE 050s and put in an order for the RE-71Rs. Out the door for me should be $660.40. The front tires had to come from Pennsylvania so they won't be here until Thursday or Friday, July 21 or 22nd. That's cutting it a little close for me leaving on Sunday, July 24th.

Yeah, I was very sorry to hear this. I had planned to spend Saturday and Sunday nights with him and Chris at their "cabin" when he informed me of their change in plans. I had to scramble to find alternate lodging in Durango and Pagosa Springs for those two nights. Planning to take the Durango/Silverton RR trip on Sunday, so guess I better get busy and make reservations!

Soory Gene. No choice. Surgery had to be at first opening. Wish I could be there. Who knows, best scenario I could make it by Monday night, but it's a very long shot.

Believe me, Jim, I totally understand. Your well being is the most important thing. I'm just disappointed I'm going to miss seeing you two. Getting hotel rooms was no big deal, really.
Let us know how you make out.

I'll hope that long shot happens! We'll be there until Thursday morning.

Thanks for the good wishes. Medical stuff is often TMI, though, so I haven't posted about it. Anyway I have to have an eye problem fixed (blood vessel leak) order to preserve its function. They just have to do it now. Everything will be fine afterwards, so if all goes well I will recover fast, and will be able to drive again soon.
