Packed it away yesterday

It's been a cold October and I hadn't gotten as much time with it as I wanted. My battery ended up dying. I used jumper cables with the positive terminal in the fuse box and the door latch to get enough power to open the frunk, then rolled it into place and jumped it from the battery.

The battery was a few years old and giving signs that it was ready, so I cruised over to autozone for a new one. Then I finished my winterizing routine and turned it in ot my winter home. They packed her away in between a Lotus and an Aston Martin. Good company for the winter

Wife and I had a kid-free weekend down in Fredericksburg. 16 down from DFW, then a quick 16-337-187-39 blast on Sunday. I can see why Boxstoberfest is here - awesome roads.

FM 337 is one of the three infamous "Twisted Sisters" of the Texas Hill Country, along with FM 335 and FM 336. The organizers of Boxstoberfest always include one of them in their Saturday drive.

The "Sisters" are revered by motorcyclists, and you can hustle a Boxster plenty quick through the sweepers, esses, and even hairpins of this undulating 100 mile loop.

So, I trust you'll be there next year, Craig?

It would be a long shot, but I've got my eye on it. I would need to convince my wife to take a mini-vacation based around driving the car (she's tolerant, but not an enthusiast); or convince her to stay home alone with 3 kids under 3!
