^ Thanks for the update Harry.

The park looks like a place I'd want to visit. Maybe I will come on the drive if there is one.

Thanks for the retirement update, Harry. When I was dating Nancy in the early '70s, we used to go to Letchworth for an afternoon outing, but never did any hiking.

Mostly just drove through, stopping now and again.

Sorry you weren't feeling well.

Cold morning here too. Got me wondering if there was snow anywhere. I hope they did not lay the salt down.

What does illest mean?

I've seen decals on imports but today as I stopped to purchase coffee I saw a lifted F-150 with that decal on it. Is it a tuner shop?

Had some flurries here this am. Luckily it didn't stick to the roads. Don't know if the sanders were out in the hills.
Supposed to warm to 45 today, then rain returning with a chance of snow overnite.

Took the car out this morning as my truck is getting an oil change. Pulled out of the garage, assessed the temp and time. Sunny and running early enough to take the back roads to work.

Pulled onto the last stretch of road right behind a co-worker's passat and followed her a few miles before promptly got pulled over for speeding.

When the officer asked if I knew how fast I was going I said "probably about the same as the two cars in front of me."

The first time I've ever been dis-respectful towards a patrolman.. but to cherry pick the third car in a line of traffic (There was also a car ~5 car lengths behind me)?? I expected to be a prime target, but not to get singled out for going with the flow of traffic.

Oh well, guess I should start looking for a radar detector.

^ sorry you got pulled over. I'd think the car in clean shape won't attract that kind of attention. Maybe it was the NFR that caught his eye. Good luck fighting the ticket and a radar detector is definitely a good investment.

I'm thinking we need to do an Upstate drive in that area. I would love to make a 2-day event and include an autocross.

West coast clothing maker who sell more trendy stickers and plate frames than anything. Popular with the type of crowd who think a 18x10+25 and 215 tire is "dope" on an s2k.
