http://www.cwscc.com/images/vac/CIMG0551.JPG

[TomKat]

[devlish]

Aw you guys got chocolate milk. I'm heading down there.and at $5 a gallon... YOU BETTER BE BRINGING YOUR OWN chocolate milk!!! :lol:

[devlish]

So the PB&J Buffet was an all-you-can eat today!

It was an explosion of flavor!!!!!!
http://www.cwscc.com/images/vac/CIMG0555.JPG

[turbo chick]

Big surprise... you guys brought Superbad with you.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

Big surprise... you guys brought Superbad with you.

oh shut it, you're just mad that you did not get to come and drink choco milk and watch superbad with us :twisted:

[DontStopMe]

cool pics. What are you guys doing out there anyways? I wanna be where its warm too :cry:

[turbo chick]

I thought that you guys were going to Florida?????? Not Alabama.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

we are like 20 feet away from florida. and we are not sure what we are here for, nothing planned really. just thought it would be a good idea. Paul, you're more than welcome to come down and stay with us. When can we be expecting you?

ok... more PB&J and ice cream now. talk to you all later

[VPT]

120 is that best that lexus would do? LOL

[devlish]

120 is that best that lexus would do? LOL

nah, that was slowing down from 145mph... didn't get the camera out in time. the vette was walking away from us at 145+mph!!

[Extremedsm]

I did not think they made a toyota other than the supra that could go 145mph.

[VPT]

Acording to the tach you don't have enough gear for 145.

[TSi_II]

Quick google stuff:
"...it was a no-brainer for Toyota to combine the well-liked Altezza with a 215-horsepower version of the six-cylinder engine that powers the GS300. The resulting straight-line performance is really worthwhile--0 to 60 in just over seven seconds and a top speed of 144 mph."

Not that 1 mph matters, that's still fuckin cruizin.

[VPT]

See I knew there wasn't enough gear there for 145!

[Extremedsm]

Ahhhhhh that is halarious. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Pointdsm]

I love Nashville, been there 3 times. If you guys would have went a week or two earlier I woulda came, but i leave sunday for school again. Only thing, is that I would have had to get fake ID, obviously.

I kind of feel like stealing your thread for a bit:)

what speedometer isn't off by a few MPH??? i've personally seen 145 more than once on that speedometer. doesn't mean it'd radar at that speed, i understand that... but it's damc close.

and VPT you shouldn't talk too much smack... i NEVER ONCE SAW YOU SHOW UP for the luxury class competitions... that poor little lincoln is just scairt. it's ok to bow out when you know you can't win. but then keep your trap shut. :lol: actually, this is the ONLY luxury car in town that has been on the track and out racing... without failure. that other "luxury" truck/suv just wasn't reliable enough and had to be sold as well. i did see it race ONCE, but that must have been a good night when it was running. :lol:

[Extremedsm]

I love what you do for me, toyota. And the jump with the legs kicked off to the side.

I am pretty sure Kurt was disqualified from the luxury car race. Toyota's are not luxurious nor do they go 145mph. :lol: :lol: :lol:

[VPT]

Like I said before I was out racing a few times this last summer with the LS "toyota killer" and there was no camrys to be found. I raced little jonny's b16 hatch, I raced crazzy jonny (I believe) out at the spot. I've raced a TT (not Austin). The only racing I haven't done and I won't do with the LS is auto-xing.

We have been threw this many many times before I said time and time again I W I L L race you all you want 1/4 mile, but I will not beat the living shit out of the family car at an auto-x. I have more than plenty of other cars around here for that.

Sooo, are you going to sac up this year and line up with the v8 "toyota killer" or are you going to continue dancing around and avoiding the 1/4 all together?

[TSi_II]

I love what you do for me, toyota. And the jump with the legs kicked off to the side.

Don't forget Lexi was at Shawano too.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

Why not Guy??? Will that big tank tip over or something???

[TomKat]

Hey it looks like you guys are in for some rough weather. :?

[ragdoll]

Looks like you guys are having a blast... enjoy!


[ actually, this is the ONLY luxury car in town that has been on the track and out racing... without failure. :lol:

Hi.

-Audi S4 owner

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

Hey it looks like you guys are in for some rough weather. :?

its nice here right now. thinkin about heading down to the beach. There is a nude beach no more than a few hundred feet from here. I see lots of people there.

Looks like you guys are having a blast... enjoy!

Didn't you say you'd be here last night???

[VPT]

The only racing I haven't done and I won't do with the LS is auto-xing.

Why not Guy??? Will that big tank tip over or something???


because parts are not cheap, tires are not cheap, brakes are not cheap. Oh yah and its the family car....

Tanks like toyotas are made of steel, the LS is built out of aluminum guy.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

Lexus IS300 = 3285lbs
Lincoln LS = 3593lbs

Must be heavy aluminum :?

tires and brakes and parts are probably just as expensive for the IS as the Lincoln. One auto-x will not kill a set of brake pads or a set of tires. and Auto-x is like 100 miles of city driving.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

Hey it looks like you guys are in for some rough weather. :?

Checked the weather, part rain/wind, tomorrow is sunny and in the low 50's. Otherwise the rest of the week is suppost to be party cloudy with some rain and temps in the high 50's and low 60's.

How's Wisconsin???

[devlish]

because parts are not cheap, tires are not cheap, brakes are not cheap. Oh yah and its the family car....

Tanks like toyotas are made of steel, the LS is built out of aluminum guy.i bet my parts are just as expensive as yours... but it's ok to be scairt of losing to a "toyota" as you call it.

and regarding dizmms post... i must agree, that's some heavy aluminum there to weigh 300lbs more!!

LS is a way bigger car with way bigger drive train components with more features and whatnot, I would hope it is a heavier car.

Auto-x's also kill auto trannies.

[TSi_II]

This might be threadjacking, I'll make a new one if you want, but speaking of auto trannies in auto-xing... How would a CVT transmission do, wouldn't you always be in the powerband at all times? The only thing that pops into my head is a Nissan Murano, but do any other cars someone might actually race have them?

On second thought, I'll keep it a little bit on topic, here's a picture from my hotel room when I was on the Gulf last week:

WTF, you guys go on vacation to sit on the internet in florida? Boy must be nice to have money to blow to drive accross the US to sit on the internet.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

WTF, you guys go on vacation to sit on the internet in florida? Boy must be nice to have money to blow to drive accross the US to sit on the internet.

you god dam right its nice to sit online with the windows open looking over the beach.

:D


The shadow never had one issue at the auto-x and that was an Auto. A drag race is just as hard on that auto tranny as an auto-x.

OHH KAYYY!!

[ragdoll]

Sorry I don't know you guys well enough to know all the vehicles driven. I'll be the arbitrator here...

Are we talking about a Lincoln LS? I understand we're talking about a Lexus IS300...

A Lincoln LS is a big car made for middle-aged golfers that want to feel like they have a sporty car. The IS300 is for younger gen people that want a sporty car with some sophistication. These are the para-phrased demographics these companies were aiming for with these cars and built them accordingly.

If these cars are modified somehow, that's something else. But otherwise it's like comparing titanium to dentures...

Cars are made for specific purposes, the LS isn't made to be a real sports car and the IS300 isn't made to be a top speed monster. The S4 isn't made to be a race car either. They're just street cars made for a specific group of douchebags (us).

This thread was for sharing on your guys trip... I'd like to see more of that and more pictures, please. :)

Why would they waste so much technology and money on an all aluminum independant (like the vette) suspension for the LS if it wasn't ment to be a "real" sports car? If that was the case they should have just built the LS body on a crown vic chassis and saved about 10K a car.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

An independent rear suspension will over better ride quality. I dought the lincoln was designed as a "real" sports car. BUT if that car was built as a "real" sports car, then thats what you should use it for.

More pictures to come...

We got all week and nothing planned accept to relax.

Shoulda had some more people come down, tons of extra room here.

[helby]

disney world is like 9 hours away or more.

[VPT]

Drive over to new orleans and see if there is any destruction there yet.

[devlish]

that's about the one thing we actually do have on our "to do" list, new orleans is approx 3 hours away... we will probably hit that up early this week. we debated going there for the night tonight, but are going to check out Pensacola instead... 35mins away... will grab food there and check what there is to do at night as well.

last night we listened to some band from Birmingham down at a local place, Live Bait. they were ok. more people out on the dance floor when they took a break and the dj played some hiphop... but whatever. they got better after their break. the place seemed fairly slow for a friday night, considering Nashville was PACKED on a thurs night. then again, nashville is about 20x the population of this place. but it's all good. live music, people to watch, etc... all in good fun.

ok. leaving for Pensacola soon i guess. probably more pics for you later on Ragdoll :roll:

[helby]

check out mcgillicudys in pensecola...irish bar restaurant..good food.

[helby]

gulf shores is a great place during spring anf fall...and summer realy to just hot as shit during the summer. its a tourist place so its slow now cause its not as warm.

[TSi_II]

McGuires is also a great Irish place to go and eat and drink and drink and drink and whatnot.

[helby]

my bad...thats what i ment mcguires....i was just ringing some dude out with a bunch of dr megillicudys...sorry

[TomKat]

Waffle House. Mmmmmm. I take my browns covered and diced please.

[TSi_II]

Yep I had a few Waffle House meals as well.

[EVILUTION]

More pictures!

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

More pictures!

more soon, left camera out in car and really dont feel like going to get it right now. Just got back from Pensacola. Fun city!

[VPT]

How much money did you guys spend so far?

[helby]

why does that matter?
You guys should go to Kiln MS tonight to watch the game. Broke Spoke is like the main bar..or was. there is also a favre family restaurant there. You will be treated like royalty if you tell them you are from Wisconsin..:)

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

WOW, woke up this morning and HOLY SHIT, Frickin SUNNY and warm. Opened the windows overlooking the ocean. I love it!!

I estimate I will have spent a GRAND TOTAL of $400 TOPS on this trip.

[Extremedsm]

A grand total of $400 in two days??? I think that is more like it.

[EVILUTION]

Lodging is the most expensive part of travel.

[devlish]

Lodging is the most expensive part of travel. exactly, and when you have a free condo for the week... you can afford to spend a little more. you are all welcome to join us. $200 from Milw to Pensacola, we'll pick you up!


the drive to pensacola was fun. raced a mustang gt down the main drag in gulf shores, only lost by about 1-2 car lengths from 25-85. the guy was cool.

Thank god for navigation, so much easier!
http://www.cwscc.com/images/vac/CIMG0570.JPG

got some nice pics by the bridge connecting AL to FL.
http://www.cwscc.com/images/vac/CIMG0563.JPG


then went to the US Naval Base in Pensacola, home of the Blue Angels.
http://www.cwscc.com/images/vac/CIMG0572.JPG

spent most of the time driving around checking stuff out inside the base.
http://www.cwscc.com/images/vac/CIMG0576.JPG

Fort Barancas was closed when we got there, but we hopped the chain fence and checked it out anyways, took our own tour. we got out just in time before some uniformed men were bringing another guided tour.

USS George Bush... haha
http://www.cwscc.com/images/vac/CIMG0607.JPG



after the naval tour, we drove around town checking stuff out for a bit, then we went out to dinner and met up with some people from DSMTuners at New York Nicks in Pensacola, then stayed for the fight. Roy Jones Jr is a pensacola native, so it was a full house, standing room only.

after the fight, about 11:30, we went over to the Seville Quarter, the premier nightclub in pensacola. it was CRAZY!! it took up a full 2 blocks... all covered under one roof, about 7 different places in one. HUGE and PACKED with people!! unfortunately, we left the camera in the car, and the camera phone didn't take great pics in the dark.

A grand total of $400 in two days??? I think that is more like it.

I spent a total of $160 so far, and that was including all the grociers we bought the first day and going out to eat for the first few days. Now that we have grociers and a full kitchen, we should not have to spend too much more.

[TSi_II]

I loved it down there... Can I put a down payment on my spot for next year? :lol:

[VPT]

Where are all the people in the pics? Is there a huricane coming that you guys don't know about?


$400.00 in two days? Holy balls!

[devlish]

I loved it down there... Can I put a down payment on my spot for next year? :lol: hell yes!! we were talking about that today. we should get a group of people to rent this place next year. should be pretty cheap for 6-9 people. definetly cooler if there were more people we knew down here, but still beats your negative temps!

VPT... yeah, not a lot of activity here this time of year it seems. mostly locals and some older folks aka snow birds. there is definetly people out and about in town, shops, etc... just not on the beach this time of year.

[EVILUTION]

When Carole and I went down there it was the same way..... same with South Padre Island. Even though its warm its not hot enough to go swimming.

I plan on taking a few days and making a road trip in Darth. Just to hit a few states that I haven't been to. I think there are three down there I need to hit.

Looks like you guys stayed in a really nice place.

[devlish]

take your road trip now!!! get out of that cold ass place... we'll see you tomoro!

[EVILUTION]

I can't.... a guy at work just had a short notice triple bypass so I acquired all of his projects till March. I'm stuck here till then. Its fine though because I don't have the winter time blues just yet.

[VPT]

That avatar is hilarious!

[ZXTUNER]

it would have been great if he got smoked at the end

[EVILUTION]

^ Yes that would have been funny..... I'm guessing he is a real bad ass though.

[TSi_II]

lol Is that some kind of acid trip march through town or what?

dood gulf shores is a cheap area to stay and its fun...alot of fun. this is a slow time of the year..its cold for the locals so noone is out.
devlish and dizmm got a great deal for where they are staying...our place is down just a ways and we dont rent it out that cheap..its good to know people:) Plus its on the ocean....if u plan another trip down there let me know ahead of time ill get our place to.

[VPT]

You guys go threw orleans yet? I want to see some wreckage! Is this day 4 now? $800.00?

[helby]

wow yeah cause what happened to people in new orleans is so fun.

[EVILUTION]

FYI .... Its 1* and snowing here today. Additionally all the packer fans are crabby and hung over.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

that sucks, good thing I am not in wisconsin.

[VPT]

wow yeah cause what happened to people in new orleans is so fun.


You live in a hazard area you have to expect hazards AND when there are hazards don't expect people to feel sorry for your ass!

[TomKat]

Don't you spend about $400 each time you go to the casino VPT? :?

[devlish]

todayis day 5... not sure if i've broken the $150 mark yet... total.

[VPT]

Wait, On day 2 dizzzm says you guys spent a total of 400. on day 3 dizzm says he only spent a total of 160. now on day 4 you say you only spent a total of 150? So 160+150= 310? How did you guys make up $90 in the last 2 days?

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

I said I will have spent a total of $400 on the entire vacation. So far I have spent $180. But I still have to pay for gas on the way back.

[Extremedsm]

You must drink water when you go out. I remember going downtown one night and you spent over 100 dooooolars.

VPT answer TKs questions..how much do you dump at a fucking casino with a bunch of loser old people.

The people of new orleans who lost there homes had no chioce...they could not afford to move they were poor as hell alot of them working 2 or 3 jobs to get by and raise there familys. These were good honest hard working people who america fucked over after the hurricane hit. Sure tell them to get in there car and leave before the hurricane...most dident have cars...most could not afford to leave there jobs because they needed to money or were afraid of getting fired. Till you have experianced it first hand..how those people have been treated....see the destruction.block after block of what used to be a neighborhood..just like the one u or i live in...GONE..leveled....dont fucking bitch. they lost EVERYTHING...imagine if a tornado ( which could hit stevens point anytime) hit your house and you lost everything. Imagine. All your belongings..family members...kids...whatever..imagine. Its not a jokeing matter at all. These people had nuthin and they got screwed...poor black americans. These were beautiful people who were the heartbeat of a beautiful town ...music...food..everything...gone. And we live in the richest country in america and we sat on our hands for days not helping. Meanwhile we can spend shittons of money on a war that is not working...but we cant help our own people...educate our kids. This administration fucked up big time. and here u sit laughing at those poor people.

Not reading that whole crap. I don't spend shit when I go to the casino, like I said before I anvite any of you people along to come play poker with us at the casino so I can take your money too!

[EVILUTION]

Why the preoccupation with money? I'd say that its worth $500 to get out of the cold and go some place new and different for a week. That's only half the cost of a track day!

You guys should take a Marvin's Delivers to ****** picture and put it up when you get back!

na thats ok, i only like the food at marvin's, everything else kinda sucks.

$100 in one night, must be paying for a few people or something. Going out to eat here is no more expensive as up there. with tip, drinks, food, and all its usually about $40 ($20 per person).

[helby]

it is pretty cheap there. thats why i love it.
I regularly spend 50 to 100 bucks out special y if we go have dinner or something. thats up here tho.

Saturday night when we went to Pensacola we had a combined total of $80 spent. $40 on food, $5 per person cover to watch the trinidad vs Jones boxing fight, then about $30 out at the Seville Quarter Club.

Jones was from Pensacola and it was a pay-per-view fight so it was a big thing at the place we ate.

[Extremedsm]

How far of a walk was that?

[TSi_II]

thats all he is good at. I hope a tornado hits VPTs house and destroys it...then i can drive on over there and say fuck you for living there...

[VPT]

A tornado has come threw here just two years ago, have you not seen all of the missing trees?

If I get hit by a tornado I invite you to come laugh all you want. I will be laughing to all the way to the bank!

So our vacation is going well... :roll:

[VPT]

Where are the pics?

[TSi_II]

What've you guys been doin?

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

I'll work on pics later, too late and tired. Today we did not get up til noon or so. Layed around, went down to the hot tub, came back to eat, then went out and hit up a few shops, came back, hot tub, then ate, watched a movie. Didn't really do a lot today, just chilaxed, and enjoyed the warmer weather.

[VPT]

You can do all that shit at any hotel, get out there and vacation it up!

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

You can do all that shit at any hotel, get out there and vacation it up!

You can swim in the ocean at any hotel? Enjoy weather thats 60-70 degree's warmer that weeesconsin?

[highline_motorsports]

another 3-5" of snow here again yeterday and last night. and still cold as f***, good thing i got a plow truck and a nice flat screen HDTV in my warm office.. Well hope all is well down there..

[devlish]

wow. we got up early today actually. going to cruise over to Mobile today... maybe check out the big ships, guns, etc... and see what there is to see over that direction. only a 45min drive.

enjoy your cold... 63 degrees already at 9:30.

[Extremedsm]

nice flat screen HDTV in my warm office.

Yup, I told you that you never did any work at that place.

[highline_motorsports]

"the hdtv is for the customers" at least that what it will say on my tax's...LOL..

[EVILUTION]

How are the roads down there? The tropical storms hit that place pretty hard. Wondering how the ride would be in the EVO with coilovers.

Have you miggled with any locals?

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

Yes we met some locals. Met a guy I know that is a sponsor's racer on DSMtuners and then also met a few people at the packer game too.

The roads are AWESOME down here. We found our "beat run" road and will actually be uploading a video of lexi letting loose.

Today we are going to Mobile AL, maybe check out the USS Alabama and some cool museum with an Imax theater or something. We'll see when we get there.

[devlish]

the roads are just fine down there. of course there are a some stretches of highway that aren't great, but they are no worse than you'd find anywhere else. there's always some bad roads on any trip.

the EVO would fair just fine, the roads are no more bumpy than usual, and i'd say even better than some of the WI/IL highways.

see you tomoro... ha

[TSi_II]

Some of the gulf-side highways would be fuckin awesome for a beat run... Water on one side and trees on the other... Just don't lose conrol.

[VPT]

Where are the pics? This virtual vacation sucks.

[helby]

the area has recovered pretty well from hurricane ivan...i was there 4 or 5 days after it happened. pretty intense. Alot of parts of beach blvd were washed out but they fixed it all now. Alot of my fav places to go were destroyed...it was sad. Ill have to find the pics..pretty intense.

[TSi_II]

I was down there probably a few weeks after you Helby, and seeing boats crashed through houses and shit washed up a few hundred feet from the shoreline is a crazy sight. Scary to think people would want to stay home and try and make it through the storm.

Kind of a side story:
My cousin and her husband live on the AirForce base down by Pensacola and whenever they evacuate the area because of a storm or whatever, EVERYONE on base gets a military charge card and they have a minimum distance and a certian amount of days to be away from the area. They can use the card for any expense incurred while they were gone, so most of them turn it into a vacation... Expensive restaurants every night, great hotels, all for free. And we get to pay for it... lol.

[helby]

Yeah I got some great video of us having to drive around a big boat coming into orange beach. We hiked up 12 stories to our condo to see if it was ok. our other condo in orange beach had the bottom blown out of it and dropped the beach front level a entire story.

[helby]

here are some pics from gulf shores and orange beach gfrom the last few years...few ivan pictures but not many...one is of the bottom of one of our condo buildings that was blown out by the storm surge ( which was as high as 2 stories..)

Day 5 and 6, must be pushing 1200 bux now.

[Extremedsm]

And no naked chicky pics!!!

[EVILUTION]

It does appear to be very empty down there. Maybe they'll hit up a jumping club and snap some pics!

[Extremedsm]

Yeah, it looks a little cold down there. Not as cold as up here though. :x

[devlish]

It does appear to be very empty down there. Maybe they'll hit up a jumping club and snap some pics! thursday in nashville was good... saturday in pensacola was FREAKIN NUTZ!!! we left the digicam in the car so it wouldn't get broke/stolen/etc... and the camera phone pics don't do justice for the club we were at sat night.

gulf shores is NOT 'jumping' right now... we might head back to pensacola tomoro night to that same club... and i'll remember the camera... but dont expect much, it'll be a wednesday night. but we're on it for you. the girls at hooters were cool too, probably just wanting a good tip. but they were the first hot hooters chics i've ever seen... unfortunately, no camera, cuz we didn't plan on ending up at hooters for the packers game (and VPT if you open your mouth about the packers in this thread.... well... just please dont!)

today was fun in mobile at the battleship. we came in the from the hot tub. it's super foggy outside right now... the ocean is loud with waves, temps are still in the 60's i think. very very nice out!! shorts/t-shirt all day. but mostly cloudy.

You don't have to go far. The last car I picked up in IL just over a week ago there was not one spec of snow around and the roads were salt free.

[helby]

But Illinois sucks....

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

On our way down here they were putting liquid salt on the roads in Kentucky.

That sub used to be in the water behind the USS Alabama....but when IVAN hit it pushed it almost on its side so they took it out as i recall.

Well jules, funny thing about my back is, it’s located on my cock.

Chicka chicka yeaaah!

Why the FUCK would it be between THAT or Muhammed.

Yeah, but it doesn't actually show dick going in which is a huge concern. besides, have you ever seen a vagina by itself?......Its not for me.

I'll be like the Iron Chef of pounding Vag.

I am truly jealous you got to suck on those tits when you were a baby. Yeah, well, at least you got to suck on your dad's dick.

coincidence.... or vandelism? hahaha :lol:

at the one stopsign in town before that building, a drunk was driving through the intersection right out from the bar, barely making it in his manual transmission, and had NO headlights on... the cops were close behind to pull him over! (we were taking the pic when the cop snagged him!)

I think that is why he has to wait for Rach to get a job there so Him, his son, and Rach all move out there.

[helby]

Isiah would stay here for school etc...summer spend in Hawaii with me for whatever length of time. I think it would be a pretty sweet deal for him to be able to spend that timein a placelike that and experiance all those great things up close...all the enviromental stuff...beachs..surfing..snorkaling...history...al l that. but we shall see.

[VPT]

Wish I could have gotten to go places when I was a kid..

[helby]

maybe u would have had a better apprication for traveling and shit:)

[TSi_II]

Hmm it's 55* and sunny today in KC. Supposed to go above 60* tomorrow. No snow, no salt, it's good. I haven't seen many cars like you guys did... We were next to a turbo 350Z on the highway, but I couldn't grab my phone quick enough to snap the FMIC. My sister just bought an '06 VW and the salesman took us out in the R32, which was fuckin sweet. I'll be driving back tomorrow afternoon, at least it isn't below zero anymore up there.

[VPT]

maybe u would have had a better apprication for traveling and shit:)

I have been around plenty, that is not the reason I don't like to travel. I think it cost way to much money to travel or go on vacations.

[helby]

we dont need to have this argument again....:)

[VPT]

it could be fun, are you sure guy?

[devlish]

We were next to a turbo 350Z on the highway, but I couldn't grab my phone quick enough to snap the FMIC. . we saw a 350z with a big FMIC as well. cool


we're are home now... got home about 7. would have been home sooner, but we stopped to pick up some car parts in Union Grove on the way back, then ate in Milw as well

thankfully my neighbors snowblowed my driveway!! and it's cool that it's in the upper 20's, and we we missed all that freezing cold shit you guys had last week.
