Speaking of tents, I just bought a Eureka Northern Breeze at SAIL, 30% last week.  It's a 12x12 kitchen tent.

Have wanted one for years..

No tenting?  Then you can never have the following views...




We'll just continue to live vicariously through you...and AB too with those Euro pics...and Canuck (or anyone else) with his South American vacation shots...but he's gotta be so busy brewing beer I wonder if he'll ever get to take another trip...must be good beer.  And I'd never make it up that hill anyway.  :P

You know?  I like that car quite a bit.

Can you provide more details?

It handled very well and had a lot of mechanical grip.  Even the brakes were pretty good.  Felt really nice on the track.

It was auto tragic though and kind of slow

944 Turbos were always lap time demons at track days thanks to good power and "anyone can drive me" chassis.

Got a lot accomplished, for a stay at home Dad.  Did 3 lawns, went to the dentist (1st cavity in 3 years, so now I have to go back in a couple of weeks, damn), got a Dyson vacuum in the mail ( ;D), installed the Alpine stereo in the Odyssey, pressure washed the driveway, put the driveway seal on it.  Went to do the garbage, couldn't use the garage door!  As the driveway is wet!  Had to go around!

Another thing checked off the list.  Next, installing the speakers on the Odyssey, figuring out how to use the Alpine deck!  Came with CD instructions.  Spending a full day cleaning out the garage, and sanding and painting a couple of windows.  Trying to get this done by end of September...

And best of all, got my marks, graduated with my Ward Clerk certificate (aka Unit Clerk) with honours.

Got an email from Audi inviting me to Mosport in October to beat on R8's, RS7's, RS5's, S4's, and S5's on the track. There is only one answer.
