Default [MN] Old Man "W"

Well guys, looks like another season ended today.:cry

Don't know what it looks like in your neck of the woods, but the white stuff came down heavy around here and the MnDOT did their usual fine job of seasoning the roads in this area. :(

So, I'm glad I filled her up with gas, will be putting the cover on tight and pulling the insurance today.

:cry :cry :cry

I've had a lot of fun driving with you guys and look forward to winter activities, Hooters runs and Active Eating Outings.

See you all Thursday evening.

:cheers:

Yup in sunny Plymouth...we were dry as a bone...no white stuff in our area (salt).

That's okay...I think I need new brake pads anyway. :cheers:

New brake pads? What about the stain on the driver's seat from last weekend? We all want to know if that came out. :jester :p:

Waterproof leather ;)

Brakes started whining at me after the last AHR and I pulled a wheel off...they looked mighty thin to me!

Seriously...it doesn't look any different up here in Plymouth...roads are dry...no salt...no snow...I'm not putting it away just yet...not with a 57 degree day coming up on Thursday (cough, cough...I think I feel something coming on...might have to take the day off).

If there is a nice rain...that salt may go away!

I feel your pain, brother. I went through it about a week ago. Stay strong, you can make it through this. We're here for you. :jester

Speaking of winter activities....there is a way to satisfy the need for speed during those long cold non-Corvette months. Snowmobiling!!! :yesnod: Any of you guys into this?

I'm going to do a recon on Thursday afternoon and see how much salt and sand are on the roads. If they look good, we'll do an AHR X on Saturday.

The weatherman is predicting (like they've been right) a beautiful couple of days. 60 sunny Thursday, 62 P/C Friday, 60 Cloudy Saturday, rain Sunday.

I'll talk it over with the Mn Run Team at Hooters Thursday night.

:cheers:
