Settling in to the new apartment

So much work.  Even though I had a very efficient weekend, there is still a lot to do.  Just setting up the drum kit took 6 hours.  I guess starting to watch Game of Thrones Season 1 was a mistake, I could've get more things done :)

New tires for the winter

Since I got a screw on my rear left tire, I decided to buy the all weather tires for the winter now rather than later.  I got the Continental DWS, which have good reviews.  I also do know some of the fellow MINI owners use these and they're happy with them.  I will get them mounted this Sunday at Tight-n-Tidy Racing.

Rallye des Montagnes du Nord

Our local MINI club, PSMINI, put together this awesome 2 day event.  I could only do the first day, since I still have a lot to do in my new apartment.  To make matters worse, Hammond had a screw on his rear left tire the day before the rally.  Lucky me, I was going to the event with a friend who also has a MINI.  So instead we drove her car, Radford.

There were total of 25 MINIs and probably 50 people.  We were mostly on SR 2 and Hwy 97A.  We stopped at two vineyards and had a lunch at a BBQ place.  We left the group after the second vineyard in Cashmere (and my iPhone was playing Cashmere by Led Zeppelin. I swear it was a coincidence).  We used I90 on our way back.

It was a long but fun day.


With Ryan.


With Reagen.

25 MINIs!
