mndsm's new... (toy)olla!

Update! In a rare moment of clarity, I mailed myself my license plates instead of trying to take them on a plane. I haven't checked a luggage since 9/11 (I hate waiting at baggage claim, they get mad when you ride it or claim someone else's bag) so I've become a carry-on ninja. I really don't want to have to explain to the TSA that I'm not trying to eviscerate the flight attendants with a piece of stamped tin. That ruins my drinking time. I've randomly selected enough times that plates would probably earn me a roto-rooter search. No thank you.

Brilliant!

Aesthetic idea- I sort of want to do the rising sun on the hood. I also want to do some sharpie design. I figure combine the two. Right now my idea is to use sharpie paint pens in red and white to sharpie up the hood, but make the red and white sections end up so that at a distance it looks like the rising. Sun. Sorta like the sharpie camaro that had the stripes sharpies on.

12 hours I will be sitting in the airport. Looking for a pinball machine most likely. Checked in, ready to rock and roll. This will also serve as you as your only warning- Yamaha, myself, moparman, and swank force one will be in the same vicinity on Friday. Be afraid.

I will be looking East for the inevitable mushroom cloud.

three three zero, two four two, 0771 if you need assistance or break in cleveland area

oh yeah, if you feel like it you can get off turnpike at 76/80 split(stay 76 east) and hit exit 29 for summit racing retail store. then run 77 back up to turnpike

It's more the fact that a Turbo Dodge and F2T will be in the same vicinity that bothers me.

let's put it this way, I'm fairly certain sf1 and I are probably the worst possible combination for safety this side of the Hong's. And I'm notorious for sucking other people into my shenanigans.

Also, I need to find my gopro.

In reply to mndsm:

Ah, the old "lets use a set of 2x4s and saw horses to make this here ladder a little taller"

Yep. And I've already been promised a bottle of gin. I don't know what I do on gin.

I can only imagine.

I'm just going to stay nice and safe here in Texas until this whole thing blows over.
Safe wagoning my friend.

Today's pre flight update- I was woke up with the slobberiest kiss ever from my kid wishing me happy birthday. The TSA actually noticed it was in fact, my birthday. The bad news was, my flight is delayed 40min because when you fly frontier, sometimes that E36 M3 just needs a jump. The good news was far better. I found a pinball machine to play. Mustang pinball, In fact. Strangely, no fox bodies anywhere on it other than the svo. My flight # is 1337. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one on the plane that thinks that's funny. And, I found a liquor store in here that apparently doesn't follow MN blue laws. IMA get hammered.

I've been known to give in to, then make worse, a bad idea. I have at one point actually said, "hold my beer, now watch this." Its a wonder I didn't kill myself in my younger days.

Don't worry. None of the F2Ts run at the moment.

However, there may or may not be a built motor turbo Miata still surviving against all odds.

You still crashing at my place Friday? Figure maybe we relax Friday and recharge from the week, get into some shens on Saturday.

Yes sir, that is the plan. You know if there's a Halloween thing Friday night? I like me some haunted house.

Oh dammit i forgot it was Halloween. We'll see on that.

Eh, either way. Wife claims I should be the bearded lady for Halloween.

So mndsm texts me a picture of a bunch of wheels/tires and says "Miyuki has new wheels!" And he hasn't even seen the car in person yet...

Wait, it's Monday and you're on the plane? When are you going to get back? It's not THAT long of a drive.

Don't know when I'm back. Sunday? I'm at my parents for a few days, then off to Indy for debauchery and mayhem. I shall do a full recap once I can get in front of a computer.

The tale of mndsms travel to meet miyuki.

Our intrepid traveler is awoken at way too berkeleying early o'clock am to go to the airport. Luggage, wife, and mini-mndsm in tow, we head to Minnesota's finest airport.[URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/mndsm/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-10/IMG_20141027_065625_zpspt3cxfnp.jpg.html][/URL] upon arriving at the airport I notice a very not quiet morning. Apparently some fools like to fly on a Monday. After having xrays shot through me, I discover that my plane is 30min late. Come on guys, you had one job. Its the first flight of the day. So, I go locate a pinball machine. Mustang pinball to be exact. Wasn't a bad game, typical stern crap. Bored with paying airport prices for pinball, I made off for..... Something. I went and located a liquor store! I was elated, until I realized.... It was all wine and I had no corkscrew. Crap. [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/mndsm/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-10/IMG_20141027_082724_zpsor6zpghf.jpg.html][/URL]

I briefly considered taking this for a spin, but the police do not have a sense of humor, and this says police on it. I sensed danger.

After not being able to get drunk inexpensively, and being denied a spin on the police trek, I headed for my gate.[URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/mndsm/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-10/IMG_20141027_073847_zpsf2kaymk2.jpg.html][/URL] while the flight number was leet, this debacle certainly was not. I have officially descended to the ghettoest flight on earth. They seriously wanted two bucks for a soda. They only wanted 7 for a Jameson, but the mixers were not free, so I was looking st 8+ for a Jameson sour. Laaaaaaame. I guess I'm sober this flight. Sandwiched in between a woman who clearly has Ebola and a nice lady from DC, I settled in for my flight. Did I mention I flew frontier? Yeah, the Ebola airline. I'm gonna die.[URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/mndsm/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-10/IMG_20141027_123947_zpsqgnhocam.jpg.html][/URL] the magazine had an article about Ebola in the us. Lovely.

After being picked up by my brother Andrew in a 2000 Lincoln ls with only 63k on it! We made our way to Potomac falls, the first stop on our journey. Why?[URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/mndsm/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-10/IMG_20141027_132625_zpsbhxqbbcb.jpg.html][/URL] girls like nice shoes. Failboat sold me these bad mamma jammas for way cheap. I texted sky render, and he lol'd I still hasn't seem the car in person and I had rims for it. That's how I roll. Also failboat, that plate rules. After a nice two hour trip home filled with abuse of tmos data, and texts to let people know I'm OK, I arrive.[URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/mndsm/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-10/IMG_20141027_155241_zpsle3siwce.jpg.html][/URL] my priority mail pack arrived so we loaded up the rims, threw a plate on, and kicked her over. She's a real peach. I expected way less for the price. Runs great, and sky left me with all the toys in the world. All I can say so far is grm has made this as epic as possible. I can't thank you guys enough.
