Grand Canyon on Sunday. 

More details on what you will be doing there. Tourist walk along the rim or sleeping at the bottom for a few days?

people do that?  not worried about the flash floods?

Driving thrills makes my wallet lighter.. and therefore makes me faster because i'm shedding weight... :D

No worries at all, just be smart about where you setup your campsite. Its amazing down there once you get away from all the tourists.



Shameless plug for my trip report (you may have already seen it though).

That's the way to do it.   :thumbup:  The road less travelled is always the better option imo.  When i see the t-shirt vendors i know i went the wrong way.  :P

I inspected the Triumph today for the first time after 6 months of winter storage.

For the first time in 19 years, the master cylinder was full when I opened the hood and I had firm brakes on the first press of the pedal. Usually, after sitting all winter, the master is down and I have to fill it and pump up the brakes.

I replaced the master cylinder last year and this is the payoff.

:rofl:  I'd be happy with just the garage ffs... :P

I'm the same.  My dream home will be a quad garage, with some loft space for cooking and sleeping.

The Mrs said she would rather hike than bike today so we did. Then while hiking she said we should have biked.  The conditions at Hockley Valley today. For those not from around here, its only 1 hr north of downtown Toronto.

That's about what it looks like on most of the trails in the nature park close to my house, except ours have a lot more ice than snow.  Arizona... :drool:

Sold my CRX last spring and though I was told that I would have seller's remorse it never set in.  I sold it to someone who would look after it so that made me happy.

Good way to combine some practicality with some fun.  I think, though, that I am going to go sports-car-less for the summer.  The garage was getting way too crowded with cars and my daughters toys, e.g., bikes, trikes, electric car, pedal car, push car, etc.

 :'( If I need a pee cup this summer we can trade for the afternoon and you can go get a fix  ;D

I don't think it's a spoiler than an F1 race is boring as hell....it's the usual

Back in London for Easter.

My mom needed some groceries today, and one of the Asian supermarkets advertised that they were open Easter Sunday. So my mom heads over there, and there were police outside...they closed it down for the day.  :P  :popo:
