Have not gone back to the states for three years, guess I will have to make travel plans for this coming summer. Have to plan with my cat sitter service and work with her schedule.

Thanks Norm. I was wondering about these.

It will be your friend on dry pavement, something that will demand smoother right foot inputs in the wet, and probably your enemy on snow or ice. Definitely a straight liner's mod (no flame intended).

Reportedly, it has several settings that are easily changed for the driving conditions. Or so I am told.

Happy hump day, gang.

For me this week it's being able to see the light at the end of the tunnel for some long-running estate business - got to go put my executor's hat on.

Got room for another 54 year old that hasn't grown up yet?

1coopgt of course!! Welcome aboard.

Always room for more....just gets merrier! Welcome aboard 1Coopgt. This a great crew to hang out with.

I was finally able to find 2 places to get quotes to get my springs installed. Now I just have to figure out if the estimates are reasonable & order the springs.

Replaced some split/cracked vacuum hoses on my Dakota last night to fix a "small evap leak" code. Had to remove the battery and a fuse box to get to them. No more check engine light.

Happy Hump Day everyone.

I enjoy dark chocolate 85%. Lots to think about. This show really helped me:

The perfect human diet. Saw it on Amazon Prime...

Now I understand why gluten free is important. I just thought it was the latest food fad.

[RubyCamaro]

Apex springs are the planned mod and thinking about the Vitesse Throttle controller.

Gluten free and eating really clean (nothing processed/pre-prepared, no preservatives, stabilizers, colorings, etc, limiting processed sugars as much as possible, mostly complex carbs in limited amounts, appropriate amounts of healthy fats, limiting salt, correct balance of protein, vegetables, fats & carbs) is what I am trying to do. The book "Burn The Fat Feed The Muscle" was helpful to me.

Welcome to the old farts 1coopgt !!!

[RubyCamaro]

Our power was off for 1 1/2 hours last evening then off & on a few more times after that. What a PITA! Apparently a power pole just snapped in half for no apparent reason. They said it was an older wooden pole but no reason it should have suddenly snapped. Weird. Ruby Too was really scared. She is such an urban rabbit. She even has to have night lights in her room at night & absolutely does not like the dark.

It is bitter cold here this morning after a mild day yesterday. Go away polar vortex. You need to stay at home. We don't want you in Tennessee. My buttercups & crocus are already coming up but this cold snap might just end them. :( HAGD all

Now you got it. The toughest part is keeping temptations at bay. Focus and set your mind to stay on track. Once you start to see results it will motivate you to keep going! Spring & Summer will be here before ya know it.
