I just got back.
cRiPpLe_rOoStEr and Xist were no-shows.
In the speechifiying, J. Fitipaldi made a good point, but I didn't write it down. He did emphasize that they are in production, and there is a big announcement coming.
Not the MLM though, that's what I need.

Hope to catch up next time.
We did end up postponing the b-day party, but then my wife remembered she had a haircut appointment this morning, so I watched the girls. |

Joe Morgan said it should be a regular thing. Next one in June.
I caught a ride wth IIRC J. T. Jesse Fittpaldi said that if they want to offer wheel and tire options, the wheel and the tire must be certified together. So I guess BMW i3 tires on Model A rims comes after the warranty expires.
They went with something from the MEIV parts bin, but hope to cut [redacted] pounds of unsprung weight in the future. 3D printed A-arms are off the table. Too fragile.

Headed to Maui next week and wanted to test drive a Tesla Model Y, but my wife gave reasons why a minivan would be the better option, which confirmed my prior assumptions.
Scrambling to get some color in my skin this weekend. Plan to burn a bit at the reservoir tomorrow in the canoe.

Are you making assumptions? Did you look for Billy Crystal or have you been stalking me?

Were you in the one with bumper stickers bombed all over the tailbox?
With two dozen vehicles there were maybe two the same color, From white on white to black on black and vinyl wraps all over the place. Floral, white scallops on blue, metallic this and that -- it was like a basket of Easter eggs.
