Have faith.

Maybe we will get lucky, maybe not. But if it doesnt go down tomorrow, it will go down soon enough.

Uhhh when does Strats not go down on a Saturday if it's dry? During spring/summer as long as it's dry out, every Friday and Saturday there is always going to be somebody there....it's a given. I was just over there last weekend btw...

Haha, that's what I heard. Did you go on friday? I heard saturday was "cancelled" due to St. Patty's day or some bs.

I did an oil change and cleaned the engine bay yesterday for the SS. I held off on giving it a carwash just in case, good thing I did lol.

Yeah its not raining here in Elk Grove at the moment either. So who knows. Would have to hit the touchless to remove a winters worth of dust and grime, but it still MIGHT happen.
