Tube of sunscreen for the car.

Going out to check the car to make sure we have paper maps for our route.

The car is ready. It has a new inspection sticker. Rick did a little repair to tighten up the power outlet which was loose.

So we are getting ready.......Anyone else?
Hi, my power outlet is loose too. Seems to tighten it, you need to disassemble the rear panels. True?

Remove the two hooks, behind the driver's seat...pop the panel off ... With a little fanageling... you can get you fingers in there and hold the back of the outlet ( nut ) Put your thumb into the socket, & turn it, till it gets tighter...

Thanks, Denny. I found a thread which provided similar instructions. Jim, it's an easy fix. Well especially if you are not the one doing the fixing.

Thanks, started to laugh when I read the instructions. Thought it was going to say "Put your thumb into the socket, & turn on the power...

Don't forget to pack that stuff, Patricia!!!

We only have one more weekend at home before SF. Given that I'm a busy girl during the week I hope to get ALL the stuff I want to take laid out on the guest bed this weekend. Then I can just toss it in the duffel bag Thursday after work.

We are so ready for some S2000 and Vintage fun!

I am looking forward to seeing everyone. My only prep was making a Costco run so that the Plant Pixie can put together the "Goody Bags" that she volunteered to make. I will purchase the water bottles in PA as we will not have room the trunk to transport everything.

Hint to Jerry. When you find those radio codes, enter them into the contacts on your phone titled "radio."
