I'm going clay shooting this weekend. My shotgun is ready to annihilate some clay zombies. I bought 50 rounds of shells, but I've also got some regular slugs laying around I might bring along. Muahahahahahaha!

So I got pulled over for attempting to drift in an empty parking lot tonight. The cop was cool about it and said I should pick a better spot since he could hear me over a mile away.

No codes, just wanted to see if she's running lean. Might have to invest in a handheld or a PC program.

Glad to hear that the cop was cool.

Took the Z out this morning to go see my chiro. Fun! At least the roads were clear. I drove alongside Dustin who has a NSX. He was going to the autox.

So I just noticed that 2 people have rated my car on this site, and I only got 1 star. That's not cool. I thought I rated at least 1.5 stars....

Ben, I'll PM the addy to you. Maybe we can meet somewhere first.

It was a decent 240Z that needed a lot of work and TLC. Not worth $2k, IMHO. I might offer him $1k later, but I need to clean out my garage first.

Found another Datsun, this time a 75 280. The car doesn't start or work and has been sitting for 10 years. I wasn't too concerned about a working car since I want to strip it down and start over anyway. I couldn't care less about the motor. I'd rather have a turbo setup or rebuild it anyway.

Yeah, I'm putting my Z away now. Calling insurance tomorrow to get that changed. I still need to fill up the Z and detail her, but I'm sure I'll get another crack at that.

Aaron, if you have time on Monday I can swing by or meet you somewhere.

That's cool. I'll definitely be around the house.

Looks like my FIL is probably in his last week according to the hospice. MIL is flying up today. It's going to be a rough week. Dammit.

Went shooting at clay targets yesterday. That was fun. Shot 50 rounds through my shotgun. I need to play with it some more.

Have to put my Z away too. That means at least 5 months of hibernation!.
I can't believe it. Would it make sense for me to store it on my stock
rims/tires instead of leaving my 19s on?. I am concerned about possible flat spots.
