We got almost 2.5" of rain last night. Unflipping believable. Plum lost it's flowers, Bradford pear as well. Red buds and starting and Dog woods are coming awake. Trying to get stuff transplanted and the ground was rock hard yesterday, now it's a soggy mess.

Good news is the car got a bath

Again, bright and sunny and 74 degrees here at the Top of the Rocky Mountains. It's about time for the second lawn mowing of the year also. Ugh.
I took the -R out for a quick jaunt that ended up being over an hour, but never really got the chance to Mash the Skinny. Oh well.
Now, on to the Craftsman 42" rider...
If anyone cares, I've been retired over ten years and am not even close to 60!

Over the weekend I got the Jag clayed and ceramiced with the temps in the 70's. Now I'm looking out at snow coming down.

Other than the color, I test drove an identical 2018 Sting Ray.
Sorry, I wasn't impressed. They LOOK really nice, but everything else is........ not?

Funny, I was using the pisser at the local Chevy dealership while my son was getting the full treatment from the used car sales guy about a newer Jeep Cherokee and stopped to 'admire' the 3 vettes they had inside. One of the salesmen made a quip about buying one and I asked "Why, I have a '07 XKR that's @ 90% of the new base stingray for 10% of the cost". At the mention of 'XKR' the other three salesmen came out of their cubicles wanting my to bring it in. They didn't care that it was ratty, all of those guys loved the Jag look and were especially interested in it as a coupe.

Comparatively, there's a bunch of vettes in town but only one XKR, mine.
