Well, the nice days are dwindling fast, folks. Anybody up for an end-of-season cruise? I've posted over on SLCRX8.com if you want to add your two cents.

I haven't tried my zoom zoom pen out yet, still in the wrapper. Did you test-drive yours?

This place is a total mess, I've been remodeling/finishing it for 20 years, lol, but we'll get you over here on a weekend soon, and either feed you or get you drunk!

Snowboard, check the meets thread on slcrx8.com. I may switch the day to a Sunday for the November cruise if that works for you. But the restaurant at the turn-around may not be open. Stay tuned.

Salt Lake City End-of-Season Cruise Nov. 7

SLCRX8.com is having our end-of-season cruise on November 7th. We will be meeting at Sugarhouse Park and leaving from there at 10:00 am. The cruise is headed up Parley's canyon on I-80, then turning off on 189 (US 40) headed south. We'll then take 35 through Francis, Kamas, & Oakley before lunching in Wanship at the Spring Chicken Inn. Then back to SLC on I-80 westbound.

So the route is fast at first, slower in the middle, then a longer fast route home. Should be a fair amount of snow on the mountaintops by then but the roads will be clear (hopefully).

The alternate date is Nov. 14th, if bad weather scrubs us on the 7th. If it's bad again on the 14th then we'll just have lunch or dinner in-town.

We hope to have a great turnout for this autumn cruise- probably the last big one before springtime. See you there!

F*n snow today!

Oh, well, it melted as fast as it fell. Supposed to warm up in a few days. Keep your fingers crossed for dry roads on Nov. 7th!

I'm not ready to park my 8 for winter just yet.

It's more like "thick rain". It melts as soon as it hits pavement. Usually doesn't stick until after Thanksgiving.

As soon as the salt and sand trucks roll, my 8 goes into the garage for about 90 days.

Wow, what a turn around. 63 degrees today, all sunshine. Another tee shirt day for the first of November. So nice that I took the 8 out for a spin with the sunroof open.

The 7-day forecast is looking good for next Saturday's cruise.

As soon as I can afford it I need to get a second car so I can start tearing it apart and installing some goodies.

The salt trucks haven't rolled in West Valley yet. They typically wait until December so they don't use up their entire salt budget by February. But I think this weekend I'll officially put her to bed.

Kind of a bummer because last year she didn't get put away until December 13th. The year before, it was November 30th. So I'm feeling a little cheated this year.

The Exploder is running well, though I noticed a new oil drip recently. For a '91 that's not too bad. The tires are good for one more winter, and I put a CD player in it last spring. I just replaced the coolant a month ago and put new wiper blades on it. Bring on winter.

Next Tuesday night (the 24th) at the Valley Fair Wingers, guys- $2.50 martini night!
