Hope so! Hey, what road were you guys on? I was trying to see if I recognized anything, but really couldn't... thought maybe the Taconic or Saw Mill, but it's been a few years since I traveled those parts.

Hi Andrew! We meet up at the Bear Mountain Inn...well sort of as it's been reopened after a restoration job. Anyway, we followed the park road around past Perkins Drive to the Palisades Pkwy and got off onto 7 Lakes Drive. Thru the park Bittermann, you know how I like the Park!

We eventually come out of 7 Lakes drive onto 9W like way north of West Point. We do some of the good two lane out back of West Point near where their Motor Pool and Armory depots are. Then we get back on 9W to go up the hill in the picts and we stopped at the pull over/overlook and the field in the picts is West Point's intramural/practice field. Back up the hill and after a while pop a U and back down the hill till we get back to the Bear Mt bridge ( mirror shot ) and across the bridge on to 9 something again and then on to 6 and a stop at The Stadium bar & grill for lunch. After lunch, back on 6 north and then meet up with the Taconic Pkwy at Wappinger's Falls and run down the best part of the Taconic and we all split off as that's the end of the cruise!

It was a great way to hang with vette Bros and catch up on old times and cure a winter Saturday. We all hang over at CF in the North East Events section. That's how I fell in with these guys when I first got my Z back in 04.

Besides, Mistress told me she doesn't like being locked away in some garage....no matter how nice the garage is decorated! So I indulge Her, and take Her out every chance I get!

Oh, Hi Doug!

Oh, Hi Tom Tom

Indulge this...

The garage is coming along nicely! I should have the ceiling done by this weekend.
As far as saving "it"

It had 3512 miles on it when I got it in Aug. of '08, 3 different owners saved it for me! The 1st guy only put about 160 miles on it! Now its got a little over 19k on it, almost 5k last year alone! Burgeritaville, Heavenly Donuts, Lime Rock and Carlisle ain't just across the street ya know...
So thppptt...

And you Big John? We'll discuss this in person...

Ya gotta admit, my garage is better than that crappy little shed I had in Ledyard. It'd be even better if I could convince you know who to leave her Bimmer outside... Are ya coming with me on the 3rd?

What's a Bimmer??? After the M1 they have gone all downhill.
I like your garage better than the old tool shed.
Ok on the third!!!

I put 600 miles on it last year!!!

600 miles! 600 miles! You sure that was enough running time to get the condensation out of all the fluids?

Everyone pay attention! Doug is going to reschedule our meeting that was to take place on March 3rd!

Thank you for your attention!
