    Charged up my leaking AC system on the Suburban. Cleanded and detailed my orange car today. Got the trailer out. Checked the air pressure in all the tires (car, Suburban, and trailer). Checked the lugnuts on the trailer. Packed up all the parts I am bringing. Packed the chairs and EZ-Ups. Off to NAPA first thing in the morning.

    I understand what you're saying Nick. You know, I bet if you put Spookie on eBay it might bring close to $2000 just in case Craig bumps up the price!

    Filling tires to 50 psi is kinda scary....but that's what the sticker on my trailer said, I just came in from doing that. :)

    The Telegraph Cruise is July 28, all day, Telegraph is only a mile or two West of the hotel. You could do a few laps before you go home. Its not the Woodward Dream Cruise but is a real good warm up for it.

    A few of us did it last year, after the car show was over. It was amazing!

    Yeah, last year it was Saturday night, or was that just a teaser? I went about 7 miles one way and came back 7 miles, wall-to-wall people.

    Went to NAPA first thing this morning. They had the voltage regulator in stock!! Brought it home during lunch and scuffed it up and shot some primer on it. I will paint it blue tonight. Now waiting on the voltage regulator decal from CJ Pony Parts. I hope I get it tomorrow so I can install the decal before I install the voltage regulator.

    Thrash, thrash, thash.......tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock.

    I grabbed some of this today, since there seems be such a concern about overheating, I've never had an issue, but....if it's hot, it's hot.

    Sanded the primer coat. Just applied the first coat of blue paint.

    Over the weekend I also installed my new window crank knobs.

    Just applied the second coat of blue paint. Should be dry by tomorrow so it can be installed.

    I am as well....at least mentally. My wife was talking with Shawn's wife tonight. She was trying to get us to come up early. It is so tempting. They are all up there having fun and WE have to wait.
