April’s Whinings

When I checked the house yesterday, it was obvious someone had been inside. But talking to the neighbor was surprising! He said he thought we were throwing a bash over the weekend, lots of cars with multiple occupants coming and going. Good! This is the best time of year to look at the house, the spring leaves and flowers show the best side. Still no offers but it’s only a matter of time.

Not a bad campsite! We had electrical hookups in the shadow of Fontana Dam on a very nice large campsite.

Plenty of room for parking, we used the covered picnic table morning and night.

Mamarazzi’s car, Mr Bean, always wears some spectacular graphics. This is the third incarnation of Mr Bean.

We signed tshirts for some who couldn’t be there.

My GP and one of the MC40 MCS.

There were 15 GPs at the Dragon.

HRMINI, our local MINI club, had a cookout on Friday night. Sean bought a loin of beef, then cut it into steaks and grilled them for everyone. Yum!

Don’t you love the Dragon 2007 graphics?

After dinner, Sean’s birthday cake was brought out. He didn’t say a numerical value for this birthday, but he’s probably over 21. We had a great time, and Fuzzy and I are both going to miss the people from HRMINI.

To answer your question Russ, the price was 1% over invoice and the documentation fee was $100 vice $400. We were very happy with the deal.

We just returned from our shakedown camping trip, we went to MINIs on the Dragon and camped at the Fontana Dam. Very nice! The FJ towed the trailer very well, Fuzzy says they are well matched. I was snoozing along behind him in the GP, singing along with my Ipod. I’ll get my pictures online tomorrow and post some here.
