Damnit! One less hour of sleep I didn't even think about remembering that!!!!!
Forecasting rain a week in advance is such a crock! Hopefully it's nice as I'm scheduled to go to NVMC meeting the afternoon/evening before. Once she gets dirty (I like the sound of that...oops that wasn't supposed to be out loud ), I won't have time to see that she's clean for the cruise Sunday morning Rain won't keep me from showing up

Yeah what the hell?!?

Come on spring!

looks like im 75% in...will be more sure by mid week....

A little water will was the salt of your cars, come bring em out, for those of you that may not have gone on this, here's the Nov meet, Rain don't stop us
