Only a dozen Red Robins in Canada all in B.C.

It was a beautiful clear 42° day yesterday, so I took the twin out for a spin. Had to put some air in the tires. Those sensors are senitive. One tire was down to 30 psi. First time in Idaho I've driven the car in February.

Did not crash.

Yes, but did you back up? If so, how many times?

Yep, several times, although pulling the backup lockout thingy was a bit painful with my hand still being in the condition it's in. But shifting wasn't a problem.

You aren't licking it enough. Chew off that scab.

It's not a scab, it's a trench where the incision has opened.

YIKES!

What did the "doctor"? use to make that "incision", a chainsaw?

Reminds me of the time I had to grind out a bad weld with an angle grinder.

I told you, a rusty scalpel.

Things like this are normal for these surgeries.

Maybe you should have paid extra and had him put a couple of stitches in it -

My grandpa would have rubbed a little salt on it then sewed it up with a curved sewing needle from my grandma's sewing basket and a string of catgut. Then finished it off with a splash of that purple linemett that he kept on a shelf in the barn.

A friend bought an NC Miata the other day.
I took him to the dealer so he could drive it back home.
We took the back roads around some corners. He was happy

He'd previously got an NA new back in the day and supercharged it.
Ah, memories.
