Comet and I had a great time on the drive, and wow did I learn how important that radio is on the drives. Mine decided to go into some sort of scan mode about halfway through (OK, I bumped some button I don't know what I did), and I couldn't get the communications.
Good thing I use that 2-second rule to not be too close to the car in front of me, and not too far behind because there was a blind turn with a stop sign I didn't expect to see. If that radio was working, I would've known it was coming because of all that information Walter somehow manages to provide from the front while driving stick, reading paper directions, and eating a hoagie.
See you on the next ride!
Walter you were well below par today in your execution today! It was a great course that you chose, with such a great selection of roads. I found myself frequently saying to myself how good a turn or two was... only to find myself saying it again.

Thank You, Louie. So glad you and Corrina signed up for yesterday's Drive. I knew this route had some of your favorite roads.
Walter,
That was one fun drive! ZOOMBIE and I had a great time, and a few good thrills. Good seeing everyone enjoying themselves.
Thanks again.
ZOOMBIE - just keeps on truckin'
