Putting away the Z in November if everything goes well.

For some reason, my Optima Red is always dead. Need to get a charger.

I'm glad I missed last winter, and I'm not looking forward to this winter.

Mine's probably going winter mode next in about two weeks.. possibly as soon as sunday. There's wrenching to be done, and good tires don't like cold weather.

I hope the 80 deg weather sticks for at least a few more weeks. I had to turn my A/C back on I was sweating last night.

It was my fault. I removed the charge piping and intercooler when I replaced the water pump and didn't tighten the clamps enough.

Thinking of going to Patrick McGovern's Irish pub to watch the Steelers game. I'll probably just stay for the first half.
