Parents are downsizing and moving. Expected to be sometime in June. I'll probably be gone for a few weeks to help them with the move. If I'm around I'll come for sure. Even though I'll finish last, I want to gain the experience of a tour.

Was commuting to work this past week and driving on 85 East. Near the Lincoln Ave exit, in the right lane, there is a depression in the road I hit at 58mph (speed limit is 55 - I wasn't driving fast). It felt like an impact ... like it should have cracked the windshield. If you are on that lousy road, be sure to use the left lane.
On a lighter note, the Stewarts in Albany near me (intersection of New Scotland and Whitehall) is selling 91 octane ethanol-free gasoline ($3.15 per gallon). I'll be running that on Sunday. I'll probably alternate between 93 with ethanol and this E-free stuff.

A2, my friend Matt will also only be there for 1/2 day in his BRG Miata ... looks like it will be a lean afternoon.
Crazy Schizo, I still like the idea of the higher (93) octane. I think our cars require minimum 91 octane, not sure if 93 will allow the ignition to advance that much quicker for a bit more peak power. The e10 stuff hasn't seemed to bother the car to date ... the e-Free stuff is just a bit of extra insurance, especially for off-season storage.
Levi, keep checking the Stewarts in your area ... they may be updating them here first then moving north, west, etc ... The e-free stuff is ideal for storage ... much more stable than e10, although I have yet to have a problem with e10, even in OPE. I didn't expect the see the e-free stuff until I pulled up to the pump.
