And that's why LR's pewter is sparkling clean!

... and my computer has that not-so-fresh feeling.

All the relocation "moving" stories reminds me of when I moved from KS to OK in 98. I packed EVERYTHING into my Olds Delta 88! Even had my Schwinn beach cruiser on the back.

And when I moved from TX to KS, I had everything in my little 94 Honda Accord. Talk about paring it down to nothing. I had to chuck my toaster out the window because there was no more room!

When I left Ca. noone would have known anything was missing. Most of what I took wasn't even in the house, it was in the shop.

When I moved the first time from St Louis to the PNW, everything we had, including a cat, fit into an MGBGT. When I went from Seattle to AK, everything I had fit into one footlocker. When we moved back to the Lower 48, we got rid of 90% of our stuff, and there was still nearly 5,000 lbs. Amazing how it accumulates when you aren't looking! 'Stuff' is like rabbits, if you don't pay attention, you end up with a vast quantity.

CG, i think we could make a road-trip around the state cleaning up everyone's computers..

btw, i finally fixed the Vista issue! turned out to be a corrupt update file. booted from CD, restored and uninstalled the particular update, and back to normal.

Remington Park Racetrack is now open baby!

And here is a great race. Although its at Hollywood Parik in CA, its still fun to watch. Synopse, keep a close eye on Blazing Blondie.

Okay, that's not fair for the horses. Here is an oldie, a longshot Oklahoma horse wins the Remington Park Derby in 94. This horse later ran in the Kentucky Derby, but didn't fare so well, came in 10th.

An MGBGT? Wow ... you had to pack light.

Karibear, did your MGB have a rack on the trunk like most of them do? (not that it makes much difference in the size )

No rack, just a hatch. It was one of the first 50 of the new '67 GT models into the country, and it was waaay cool! I have NO idea how my then-husband ever talked them into letting him buy it, but it sure was fun.

Hi Peggy,

LR has already stated what would be one of the most easy ways for you to keep your machine clean... There are other things, but for the average Windows user, she's doing the first 2 things I recommend.

I'm "reasonably" good at speaking English when I get into this stuff...
We'll see Saturday.
