It's Thursday....

Not much going on in the car world right now. I can't wash either car due to the watering ban here in north GA. Plan on taking the MINI to a self service wash place next week. Need to clean it up and get a few coats of wax on before the winter. I can probably get by on the TR by just wiping in down before the Wreck Parade next week.

Going Mountain driving on Sunday. Hope to check out some of my favorite less traveled roads in Western North Carolina. Going to hit the Dillard House for dinner on my way back. Looking forward to some nice fall weather and colors while up in the Mountains.

Still waiting on the Nissan guy to drop his price. Looking more like it may not happen but it can't hurt to keep bothering him about it. A good friend of mine in the neighborhood has a brother who has an old Land Rover and knows a place that sells a bunch of older ones. Told me about an old Series II 109 truck that a guy is selling with a whole bunch of extra stuff to fix it up. He was asking about 4k. Not too bad but just not in the cards right now. Maybe one day!

Bought the new Radiohead album this week. I chipped in for the Boxcase set which includes 3 music cds, 2 12 inch vinyls, 1 enhanced cd, and a whole bunch of artwork and the like. Whole set comes in a nice hard case. The purchase also included getting to download the new album (the other stuff doesn't ship until next month). Listened to it all yesterday and really like it. Sounds very close to OK Computer and has hints of some of their earlier work.

Well, that is about it for now. Have a tennis match Saturday, GT plays Miami later in the day and I might be heading back on the road next week to SC and NC. Hopefully I'll have some more stuff to write about in the next few weeks.
