Am hoping I'll be singing (and dancing) in the rain tomorrow morning. We need it. Mighty gray day right now, but nothing falling from the sky yet.

Sunday morning should be interesting. I'll post about it after if it seems like the right thing to do. Honestly, it's probably the most bizarre thing to have happened to me all year. The few friends I have told about the situation are all just chomping at the bit waiting to hear what happens (or more accurately, *why* this has happened).

I'm in Colorado Springs until Sunday afternoon, visiting my sister and her family. We went to the zoo here yesterday. What a great zoo! The best part was watching a family of lynxes playing, including three female kittens of 5 1/2 months old.

Looks like I might also be watching the news about the SpaceShipTwo failure.

Got two out of three sets done.
My E550 was a snap but the wifes snow were shot and i had to order them.

The GL has a brand new set of winter slippers this year.
They are a directional type of tire. I was mounting the last tire and realized hmmm this one is turning the wrong way....
I had to pull off the other rear and swap 'em.
I don't know who put the wheels and tires on last but it wasn't pleased.
My airgun is good for 400 ft/lbs and couldn't get the lugs to budge.
Had the resort to the 4 ft extension bar slid over a breaker bar to get enough torque to bust 'em loose.
and let's just say I was putting my weight into it.

Gonna have to buy a bigger floor jack too.

I AM THRILLED TO BE HOME AND JUST HANGING OUT ONLINE HERE AND THERE
