It was a great day!

It rained quite a bit last week in MN, and the road salt has been washed away.
Yesterday hit 64degF, but I had not reinstated the insurance.
When I saw mid 50s forecasted today, I did not waste any time. Called insurance, took off a couple of hours early, and put on the first 80 miles of top down driving for 2010!
Slight chance of snow next week, but it will melt fast (I hope!).

When you live in Florida it's Boxster day everyday.

Sixty degrees yesterday and today; near 70 tomorrow in northern Chicago 'burbs. Very tempting to activate insurance, but I know we'll probably get six inches of snow next week. I'll be heading up to Elkhart Lake WI this weekend and would love to drive the Box...Road America should be coming out of its hibernation soon; I think first track event is this time next month.

Finishing up the final new toys for the season... h&r coilovers are in and buttoned up, new wideband 02 in and working, wiring some other new goodies too. Have to put the passanger seat in and change the oil. My insurance is always on the car. With a newborn I get about 10 mins a day to think about the box nevermind work on it. I do sneak out there though here and there. I'll be driving her next week to work I think.
