Default 4th of July weekend........

What's everybody got going on? I'm so ready to to car stuff it's not even funny.

I plan on changing my differential fluid and finally getting some time to detail my paint again.

Hopefully my new laptop will be here by Friday so I can get some hands on experience with my HPTuner software.

I have friday through tuesday off so lets get something going. Carshows, dragracing, Hooties, whatever. I'm busy Sunday but the rest of my 5 day extended weekend is free!

Yeah deadmonds actually has a decent fireworks display sometimes. They have to in order to keep the walking dead.. I mean majority senior population awake.

Oh and I love living in unincorporated snohomish county in edmonds cuz I can light off fireworks when the people around us can't. The edmonds cops just sit down at the bottom of our hill sometimes but can't do anything cuz we're a "county island" lol.

Hum there is Vintage racing going on At Pacific Raceways but its $25 for one person to get in to the gates unless you want to do the car Corral then its still $25 for one day ( $40 for the weekend) & you can get to laps on the road course. & meet people like Cammie Edlebrock.

I may head out to the Freedom fest at Fort Lewis oon the 4th.but I dont know.

My place is above Lake Entiat on a road around mile marker 233 if I recall correctly off 97 on the East side of the lake. About 4 miles up this gravel road, I'm not sure an f-body will make it up either. If you look up into the hills you should be able to see my place if you haven't already.. It looks a little like this:

I was thinking that same thing when I saw that picture.

And I am game for Friday if you are going to still be there about 9:30. I get off work at 9 and it will take me that long to get out there.
