Still have a couple simple items to address - but she runs well! Should be able to return it to the owner by next weekend.

Car did not run when I got it..........

I had a dream my car was running about 2 months ago and now its crazy that its actually moving.. Also, do you know of a good place to stay around fredricksburg??? Like maybe a bed and breakfast. I think me and tam are going to come up to pick up the car and maybe do some shopping and goto a bar.

Check out http://www.hangarhotel.com/ - really cool place and has a really nice bar/lounge that I go to often.

I can show you some killer roads and restruants while you are here - car is on track to be ready for pick up this coming weekend!

Ok, check out this one - and ask about the creekside bungalows - they are really cool and not outrageously expensive, least for this town.....
