So I'm currently sitting in the Hartford airport waiting to get on an airplane to go to Baltimore. No, that doesn't match the last published plan but at least I don't have to drive home from Providence Friday night.

I love it when meetings get done early.

Alright, Mike! Travel well, and hopefully we see you on Sunday (sounds like it's getting more and more a possibility). Who else is in? I gotta do some food shopping, and fill up a cooler with soda and with bottles that lime slices are dropped into.

ML · 08-05-2009, 07:32 PM

Sunday's looking good. Roofer expects to be done on Saturday.

BDL to BWI - 40 minutes!!

BWI terminal to rental car center - 30 minutes??

arrutled · 08-06-2009, 09:03 AM

Im in! c'mon mike! you can do it! we can carpool too if you wanna drink a few more of those lime sodas than me. let me know.

dang it, this is what i get when i don't check 1addicts every day!

i'm headed down to RI on sunday afternoon, so i may miss this one unless you guys are starting early. what's the game plan?

larryn · 08-06-2009, 10:49 AM

Seeing I'm in Pembroke.. We're on your way to RI.

arrutled · 08-06-2009, 12:48 PM

Well I got the paint, comes with basecoat and clear laquer which I did not expect, so im happy as a clam.

Bdh821 · 08-06-2009, 05:08 PM

So I've called velocity motorcars a bunch of times and emailed them. They don't answer phones/emails so it's not looking like I'm getting endlinks anytime soon

If you want, we can install my old ones then, which will get 90% of the work done. You can then then easily swap out the end links when you get them.

ML · 08-06-2009, 05:37 PM

You might also check with Turner. If they have the endlinks, they are local so you could go pick them up.

larryn · 08-06-2009, 05:48 PM

Good call, Mike.

amybang · 08-07-2009, 08:14 AM

I might join you guys, as I have a couple of tiny rock chips that I'd fix with all your expert help. Does someone have some spare AW touch up paint or should I try to find some tomorrow?

Anyway, my joining depends on how well my 14-mile training walk goes tomorrow and whether I'll press on with another 10 miles on Sunday. If I tear up blisters on the backs of my ankles, on Saturday, I'll not be walking on Sunday.

amy!

arrutled · 08-07-2009, 09:01 AM

I have some touch up paint for AW. I wouldnt mind if you used some. As long as I get first dibs!

I say we use Andy's car for practice.

I never got to my dealer, and have a very small scrape I would like to take care of. If you run out, no biggie, at least I get to learn from ML on your car.

ML · 08-07-2009, 11:24 AM

Thanks Larry. See you guys Sunday.

I doubt we will run out for a few scrapes. I won't mind being the guinnea pig either. before

makes us a little less proficient

Dr_Jones · 08-08-2009, 05:26 PM

i witnessed a hit and run in the charles hotel parking garage last night. What a d-bag.

funny thing is, i was actually going back to the car to change my parking space. guess im clairvoyant.

im glad i dont have to park there every day.

HondaGoneRogue · 08-09-2009, 12:32 AM

You didn't get the plate number of the car that did it?
