This is the first year that I can remember that the weather is actually going to be nice!

I realize I set this up, but I have had something come up and will not be able to make it. Rather than cancel the happy hour altogether, I've asked Ali to take over for me. (Thanks, Ali!!)

I know this wasn't anyone here, but I don't know where else to put it. I saw a Mercedes sedan with GOLD eyelashes this morning. I thought the black ones were bad enough, but these were just completely awful. I didn't get a picture because I was driving.

Event Title: Pre-Dragon Happy Hour at Ted's Bulletin Event Date: 04/11/2018 06:00 PM to 04/11/2018 08:00 PM Event Address: Ted's Bulletin in Mosaic District, Fairfax VA 2911 District Ave, Fairfax, VA 22031 We park at the top level of the Target parking garage just to the left when you come off the ramp. Wednesday, 4/11/18 6:30 at our usual table if we have 8 or less people, or an actual table if more or the usual table out front is already taken. Maybe we'll get lucky and it will be nice and we can sit outside! RSVP on the event here: Pre-Dragon Happy Hour at Ted's Bulletin

I updated my RSVP. I'm not going to be able to make it. Not enough time to wash the car before tomorrow morning and I usually volunteer at the animal shelter on Saturday mornings and I'm going to miss the next two Saturdays.

We need a chart or a diagram for this! As long as I’m sleeping inside, away from the bears, I don’t care.

I will be there.

I've done it. It's not hard, just a little tedious. Since you have a garage and a second car, it will be easy. Once it warms up, we can schedule a weekend and I'll do it for you. The hardest part is putting it on jack stands (someone else will have to do this, it freaks me out and I can't even watch).

Peak bloom has been pushed back again. It's now April 8-12. Stupid cold weather...

Here's a link with daily updates to the status of the blossoms: https://cherryblossomwatch.com/cherry-blossom-watch-update-march-21-2018/ I'm not going to go on Sunday. One, it's going to be too cold that early in the morning and two, it's going to be too cold between now and then to wash the car.

I’m arriving Wednesday and leaving Saturday.

My vacation time was officially approved today. Let the Dragon Brain begin!

I'm trying to use up what I have, so it's a mix of Adam's and Prima.

If we get to the deadline and we're still short, I'll buy another one.

I was wondering if anyone was going to do this! (I would, but I don't have space). I will probably detail Gretchen before, but I will bring my supplies. I am also able to help with any decal installations!

Peak Bloom has been announced! - March 17-20. https://wtop.com/dc/2018/03/2018-cherry-blossom-peak-announced/

PTuning can do the alignment when you're done. They can also do the install if you decide you don't want to DIY. They installed Ohlin coilovers on Michael's Roadster and did a great job.

I'd have to leave at 5:00am to meet you guys, so I'm out for the drive into DC. However, I might be up to meet you at Hains Point and go for breakfast. I really need to get some pictures of Gretchen, I only have one.

We just finished the route check. The roads are wet, but otherwise no issues, so we’re on!

I love the body color wheel arches. I had planned on doing that with Cricket at some point... I don't think it would look as good on the F56, so I'm not going to do it. I am planning on blacking out most of the chrome, though. It just needs to warm up enough on a weekend!

I might have spoken too soon about the weather. At this point, I'm not going to change anything. I will make the call by 11am on Sunday if I'm cancelling the run. I do not plan on cancelling the race watching because I can walk there.

I didn't sign up for any of the drives, but if I end up coming down on Wednesday, I'll probably join Carl's brewery run on Thursday. Brandy - Deep Creek Falls is really pretty! I may go there again on my own!

That looks great!!

If you are planning on attending, could you please update your RSVP? I know a few people have told me they are coming, but according to the RSVP list, it's just me. Also, if you are planning on staying until the end of the race, Cuginis closes at 8pm. The race should be done by then, but in past years the Daytona 500 has taken forever. They may stay open a little later if there are a lot of people there, but they usually won't. The bar/restaurant across the street is open much later and will also be showing the race.
