LOL the date isn't set yet. No dress up, although I will mention to Roger that he should include a Gift Registry in his line of business.

I asked her at Marin Headlands as she froze a good 30 second staring at the little box I pulled out.

Thanks everyone!

I didn't see the fireworks. She wanted sushi right after I asked as a celebration.

How was the drive on Saturday? Sorry I missed it.

The drive was good, had a few cars in the way at some of the better "spots" but seems like everyone got a chace to "open it up"

Thank you, Dave. And THANKS to all the "green stuff" gift contributors. It was quite a surprise and a large amount of green stuff. I'm going to use it for a few special tool purchases for club member use, although as Greg pointed out, I could use a some new "work" chinos. Thanks again!

OK, another video -- "Fun Drive in 5 Minutes".

Still working on the regular-speed fundrive vids. I'm mostly done with editing/titling, just need to choose/add soundtracks.

I've heard that from a couple of people now. Not sure what the problem is, that works out to around 600mph average, well under the speed of sound

Seriously though, it was a fun experiment and I enjoyed the result but it seems to give some people vertigo. I'm not sure I'll do any more like this if all it does is make people sick.
