Is that a hint, Charles?!! Actually, you're welcome to come stay anytime! The Great Race is coming to Galax, which is about 15 miles from us, on Saturday, June 11. The car club we belong to is hosting them for lunch. We'll miss it because of PT, but hey, you gotta get your priorities straight, right?!!Terri B.

Want to know why I like wine? Have you ever thought about what fish do in water?!

Sitting here figuring costs for Powertour...looked at the Mileage our little Contour SVT lookalike gets, compared to the GTS.
We would save maybe $175 in gas by taking the 25-27 MPG road rocket. {Did you know the governor on the trans on a V6 kicks at 114 MPH?}
F this. Taking the GTS.
Next up: Slicing the hotel budget.Andrew

Well, the big issue I am at is simply put, room cost.
Last year we tried to cut costs...I'M NEVER BOOKING AN ECONOLODGE EVER AGAIN...and it bit us on 2 nights.
What I am looking at right now, is maybe Microtel Inn because while not fancy, that chain has always been nice, clean and for $50 for a typical single queen room, it's all I think we require for a place to crash.
We have everything booked...hell, I had a panic moment because I was like "CRAP, I forgot to get something in Warren, MI for Friday night."
Luckily I found my reservation.
What hit us, was we had another couple that was going with us that had to back out and now the room costs suck! My wife Mel and myself sat and were talking again tonight...we were looking at each other like
Going to take a looksie if I can dig up a few stops that are more reasonable.
Worse case, hell, we will just end up going to Indy and Muskegon and that's the way it goes.Andrew

I have also run another setting on the machine with just soap and hot water to clean stuff out.
Tide makes a machine cleaner which seems to work quite well.Andrew
