Steve,
Have a great trip and we will be looking forward to reports when you get back. As for pushing myself, at my age and physical condition you have to push or you never get anything done. But I doubt mowing today as it is already warm this morning and my right hip has that nerve pinched so bad it hurts all the way down into my foot and I have to kind of drag the leg to walk. Maybe a little to much going and running around while my cousin was here with not much rest in between. He is about 10 years younger than me and I didn't know 10 years could make such a difference.
Kristen,
Now I understand about the tires. I think the factory just sprays the white on and hope it hits the letters. By the time you get through working on the tires, you will be to tired to drive the car so they should look nice for a long time.
