Thank you for the looks and kind words...
-AzNMPower: you may be a week late. It is peak or just post peak, here at elevations, and with the rain/wind for the next 24 hrs, it is fading like the last rose of summer. The lower elevations have not 'peaked', but they never will or do, imo.

-Naz, you know where we are in winter season!

-bmwbmwuser: yes, the gauge reads empty...it is one of the 4 glitches I have had in 9+ yrs/50k miles. The gas float and sensor are shot...very pricey to fix, so I live with a gauge that drops to E at about the half tank mark. The trip odo gets me down the road fine, as 500+ mile tanks are cake, and I've done 600 mile tanks.

-haigha/P: Right On! ;>)

-QwkAg: I heard/saw he was over in A'ville. Didn't know they could land that 747 at A'ville airport until I saw the pic. I didn't 'see' him; and I would have had to give him strokes, lol!

-Ray: yeah...annual Autumn shot to NJ to see DaKidz, and migration in a few more weeks. V would like a Bentley Cabrio for the next long ride. JK...
