    Dealerships OMG.  On older cars it's often a good idea to rub toothpaste onto the headlights - it's slightly abrasive and can clean them up enough that the issue isn't immediately obvious during the car inspection.  But a power cleaning will do the job properly and last for at least two years.

    Tigger was beyond toothpaste, I did that last year.

  2. Tigger failed inspection for his headlights. It was valid, they were horrible. Passport wanted $475 and no warranty.

    I went to Google and found this awesome guy. He came to the house and did them for $100 with a 2 year warranty. It would have been $85 but they were so bad he had to do 2 passes. When he was done he put a protective coat on them.

    If anyone needs this service I would recommend him. Yes, I'm aware I can do it myself but I didn't want to.

    Thank you for the reminder...Been trying to get the Mrs to pick a color, lol. 😕

    Should have the order in today or tomorrow :)

    Make sure you show her the ladies vneck options, they're pretty and form fitting

  4. That works it keeps us away from the ice cream run, it's in the opposite direction of where we're going. maybe we do the boat ramp parking lot so that were making a right instead of left turn onto the road. Up to you, I'm just getting helpful ideas

    Still leaving Sunday to head down? I heard you might be breaking it up for Saturday / Sunday. 

    @AzFlower and I have been thinking about that as well and trying to find a dog friendly place to split the drive up with.

    We're bringing both MINIs this year and two dogs so we cannot switch off driving like we did last year.

    We're leaving Sat Afternoon driving about 4 hours and spending the night somewhere. Does that work with you guys? @AzFlower @wyretrip

    We're considering leaving Sat afternoon. Still trying to find a house sitter for the dogs. We've done this trip plenty of times in one shot, I just prefer breaking it up. If we have to use the professional dog sitter, who's $70 a night we'll probably just leave Sunday morning.

  7. Wed afternoon at the DCMM cabin, probably after lunch, like around 2:00

    You'll need to purchase brushes and canvas. I suggest Michael's

    first go here and get the coupons

    https://www.michaels.com/home?cm_mmc=SearchBrand-_-google-_-MICH_National_Branded_Search_Branded_Exact_Trademark_General-_-Trademark+-+Coupons&&cm_mmc=SearchBrand-_-google-_-MICH_National_Branded_Search_Branded_Exact_Trademark_General-_-Trademark+-+Coupons&gclid=Cj0KCQiAwc7jBRD8ARIsAKSUBHJ6wXOPFtdyH8mVELH9AsopFHpNHMyA_j4JGzf7jmOjM_7a3gCFj0UaAoClEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

     

    For brushes (I have some but not enough for everyone)

    Pick a set of brushes that are not the cheapest (they shed hairs). This pack looks good

    They have a huge selection of canvas - if you get the ones that are cheap they'll do fine but sometimes the first coat of paint is hard to get good coverage, not a big deal

     

    Here's an apron

    Here's a cheapo Easel if you want one, I got one so that I can easily stand my canvas up

     

    https://www.michaels.com/artists-loft-compact-table-top-easel/10194059.html

     

    I have plenty of paint. Does anyone want me to get some specialty paint like glitter or Iridescent paints (gold, silver)?

     

    Does everyone know what they want to paint yet? If you need help, post an image of what you want to do and I can attempt to help or sketch it for you. I'm no expert. You're paying $5!!! 🙂

     

    Any questions?

  8. When are you leaving? Maybe some of us can travel together.

    We just pick a time and meet on 81 at the Pilot Service Station

     

    Mark and I are leaving Sunday morning, we usually try to get to the meeting spot by 7:00 AM

     

    Anyone want to join us? We do stop to pee, if you have a bladder of steel you may not like riding with us

     

  9. This year I signed up for one run, plus Craig and I lead the photography run on Thursday morning.  Besides the DCMM run on Saturday hoping I can grab people on other days for doing our own thing. I want to go on small adventures.

    This year I'm not in the mood for a bunch of big organized runs

    I am looking at the brewery run n Friday, and our DCMM on Saturday. Get some sunrise runs on the dragon Wednesday and Thursday. Other than that just going with the flow.

    Make sure you have a hatchet/ chain saw for those sunrise runs
