I hope that works. BTW, I got a pic of the map with a NWA plane caught in a satellite image.
Found it. That's a rough idea of what we'll be doing to get to RW. There's no real twisties to there, so I picked some wide open back country roads to do some WOT driving. Besides, we might see something really cool.

A Honda? NOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone else see the forecast for next Saturday? KSTP is saying it's going to be a high of 70 with a chance of rain. Thursday and Friday are supposed to be really warm. I'm hoping they're wrong and the weather will actually be way nice for Saturday.

Quoting myself was easier than typing it all out again.

Steve's making baby jeezus cry...

Are you ready for us to come over to your house for a house warming party?

Either Steve makes it up here, or we'll go on a trip to kidnap him.

No worries though, I have something new, and very special I am thinking of bringing. Keep an eye out
Ah it's alright. If you have the time and can make it out to hang with us even for a little bit, that'd be cool. Is it finished? If you brought the new ride, that'd be awesome.

Aaron, is Tom coming? The Fit is sweet haha, can't wait for this meet! Everyone bring walkie talkies if you can! Dave was talking about meeting at his place around 10 and eating and what not and then heading out, everyone okay with that? Lets post a legit schedule with directions for people so we dont have any stragglers coming at like 10:30! Dave's car is looking great! Got the plenum put back together and strut bar, new tires on his wheels, and all that is left is his new Y pipe to put it! STEVE! get your *** up here, i have a couch with your name on it and maybe sparkles can ride with you ;-)

Any old walkie-talkies that can tune into different channels, etc are good, right? I'd hate to bring one down just to have it not work with the others.

tom has a ball tourney that weekend, so no he won't be coming. Said I could bring his car; maybe I will, but I think I want to bring the fit.

It isn't turbo'd as it isn't really worth it after seeing some of the numbers afterwords. I still think it would be fun though. I have some buddy club wheels coming this week for it, and hoping my tint guy can get me in this week as well. I have a few other small goodies for it..... it isn't a high HP rwd sports car, but it is a fun little car

The weather plays such a huge roll in my workload. It's a lot of work, but I have no reason to complain. I have a lot of time off.

They are saying rain this weekend. Would that slow your work?
