Good morning! I've been over at the Beetle message board...they're having a fight over what causes a shimmy when the car gets up to 50mph. I have no idea what they're talking about but it's gotten heated!
Can't wait to see the pics, Lil!
Steve
Great... Hot-heads in very small cars that shimmy at high speeds...
Let us know how that turns out!
He's lookin' into it....
If you go into Internet Options and hit the security tab and just click to go back to the default setting, it should put you at a medium level that ~should~ work....
OT - didn't you used to turn all pictures on and off in IE when you were on dial up?
LOL Ok!
You know what I would like to do? I'd like to get me a VW Bug, fix it all up (no fancy stereo...just an AM/FM radio), head off and go across the country on the back roads, visiting with people and staying in little hotels along the way. See the sights.
Then come home and write a book about it. I could title it:
"Me and My Bug: One Woman's Cross-Country Midlife Crisis."
LOL
I would only read such a book if you wrote it. ;~D
Ya! Snow! We got a decent layer of it over night.
I've got a couch if you make it up this way...
BTW, I just did some quick figuring, and just gas costs for going from here to WA would likely be over $250 each way. Granted...if five or six of us went, that'd still be cheaper than flying, but still pricey. And if we stopped anywhere for the night (with three drivers we were thinking of just going through the night), that'd be additional costs.
But then...I think we wanted to do it more for the adventure than for costs savings.
I think I would swing up and see Corin (and any other HHDs on the way) then over to see you, then back home...
First stop would be the g'nads...
Still raining here.
*sigh*
Expect me when you see me! :-)
;-)
Call me from the next town so I can put the coffee on! Heh...
Hehe!
Well, it'll likely be a while. Maybe after the jedis graduate!
Yeah...might be able to pick a place to settle down...
Seriesly, that's a small part of this! Though of course we'd only see the very northernmost part of the country.
But then...I like north! Give me snow!
I did almost the same trip when I was little, but I don't remember it. We moved from Portland, Oregon to the house I grew up in. We stopped in Indiana (where Mom's family is from) and Dad came up here to get a job and all, so it wasn't QUITE as long of a trip, but just about! I barely remember it. I remember sleeping in the back of the station wagon on some pillows (probably completely illegal even back then), and I remember my brother tearing the felt eyes on my teddy bear...but that's about it.
As Dad pointed out, if we did this road trip we'd either bond in a much closer way or never speak to one another again...
So, today the new 6-minute trailer for ROTK:EE is supposed to come out. Where is it? We wants it!!
(And we wants it before ~6:30 am PST, or we'll have to wait until ~6 pm PST... and that's no good, no, precious!)
Dan
Well, we know what you're like when you decide to do something. I'll expect to see you on a book tour in a couple of years. ;o)
First we've heard of it! If we find it, you'll be the second to know!
