Tues has Rockland A&W and Kanata @ Hazeldean mall. Wed is the Carleton night. Thursday has an Orleans Tim's gathering.

Deciding b/w which LS vehicle to bring is tough...

I need front summer tires for the Camaro; my track alignment did a number on them and they are at cords now.

The Vette's still in storage due to weather and my general laziness to get it back on the road. Stupid license plate renewal jumped like $30 for the 2 year.

I keep bringing the C6 out to Kanata and not recognizing any cars there.

I've got the Lemans Blue Metallic car.

I have either my camaro or my vette out and about. Mystic Teal and Lemans Blue, they stick out quite a bit.

Tuesday I try to hit Kanata, Wed if the RCR gather gets its act together (June 8 looks like it's at the Giant Tiger instead of the RCR) and Thurs at 10th line.

All weather permitting
