    I like a little pull. Fall off is a little too mushy for me.

    Evening all:


    Just saw where tickets are now available for a train ride from Pittston Pa. to Jim Thorpe Pa., 120 mile round trip, first passenger train to make that trip in 50 years. Once below White Haven the track pretty well follows the Lehigh River down to Jim Thorpe, very scenic and even get to go through a tunnel, it says there are 2 tunnels, but I don't know where the second one is at. Looks like tickets are $39, don't sound like too bad of a price and would be a beautiful fall trip when the leaves are in full color.
    Not on my to do list, but I would tend to believe that it would be an enjoyable trip for anyone wishing to go for a train ride

    Jeep body work
    Door repair on house that didn’t go as planned yesterday.
    Race car being loaded Monday for departure Thursday.
    Weather sucked earlier this spring.
    Too windy here to fish.
    Now we are being invaded for the summer.
    But.

    Nice trim and looks good. The finished ribs looked spectacular.

    For your med cost, is this the first refill for the year and the deductible was not met? My wife and I share the same eye drop med but only have here filled because the one prescription lasts us both a year. We refilled the prescription on Friday and the cost was over $500 because she had not met the deductible cost. Drops for eyes are really expensive.

    :cheers::101010:

    Good morning everyone.

    I checked Copper River numbers, looks like the run started to trickle on the 25th. We generally target a time around Father's Day. The watch is on.

    Have a great day.! :)

    Took the old iron out for a spin by the beach early this morning.
    New shoes last week. First time she's worn radials since built in Oct '71.
    Small block runs like a bear in cool temps and low humidity.

    :oldglory: Good Morning Porch Pals & Sue! Currently reporting from Monaco, getting ready to fire up the smoker. I'll be moving on later, hoping for no rain at the racing triple header. Relax, race, cook, eat!

    I don't have a deductible Tom @95SLE , and I am currently in the dreaded GAP - or I should be. I will have to look at the formularies today, and see if they "moved" a med, or maybe they just raised the price.

    You and I are driving a lot of miles today. Stay hydrated, manage your tires, watch your pit lane speed.
    I'm riding with Alonso this morning and Sato this afternoon
