    Just bring whatever you want to drink that isn't water, iced tea, Dr. Pepper or Coke. I might have an Amstel or two in the fridge.

    Tomorrow's the big day.

    Don't forget any last minute things: Distilled water for diluting your coolant; headware; swim suit (no skinny dipping in my pool); floaties in case you can't swim; tarps if you have any extra (I have a couple); minor tools (wrenches and maybe your fav socket set); sunscreen; eye protection (don't be a whiner, just bring it); work gloves.

    I have hand cleaner. I have beach towels. Drinks, but not alot of beer.

    The menu has been planned - in FBB's case, a couple of roasters skewered over the firepit. ;)

    Bring tin foil if you can.

    So, we need tin foil hats at your place?
    How about raincoats to keep the flying chicken parts and sauce off our clothes while FBB eats?

    I'm going to try and get over a little later today, but if I miss out I hope you guys have a blast. Big thanks to Rick who came over last night to help me get the bumpers, etc. put back on my car, and Bruce who walked me through figuring out what the heck was wrong with my shifter. At midnight I finished up and I was able to take my "victory" lap around the block with a fully functioning car, lol.

    Made it home in one piece...didn't need to add any brake fluid but definitely leaked on the way back. Most of it just sorta splattered onto the top side of the diffuser tray but I did give the bumper and wheel a once over just in case there was any fluid on the paint.

    Thanks 3forty8 for being a good samaritan and following me home.

    More tomorrow...

    PS No Ernie, I don't work at Legoland.

    Good to hear Rick!

    Hey, the annual maintenance program is off to a great start - not one driver stranded, and not one car wound up in Vince's pool! Very cool to put some faces to names and meet up with guys I don't get to see often; a special thanks to Vince for hosting - my new brake pads were completely bedded by the time I got to the bottom of your driveway, lol!

    Edit: A couple of cell phone pics:

    #2 should read, "Rick about to f-up his brakes". :D

    Thanks for hosting Vince and putting up with all of our nonsense, BP fluid-spills, and driving your wife crazy (I assume).
