Sorry the hear that, Chris.

We're still hoping to go also, and turn it into a DC/Philly visit.

Hope it works out. Maybe a trade of income for benefits.

Hope you make it to LOG 30. The couple chairing LOG 30 are working hard to make it fun and less expensive than previously.

We've been to Gettysburg twice. Once for tourism and once to scope out the area for LOG. There are great local restaurants (pizza & BBQ to the higher end) . The road tour is incredibly interesting. I've never been to a battlefield that so closely matches the old descriptions. Spend some time over the cold winter reading a book or two about the battle. Some local Lotus owners are mapping out their favorite roads for so we can get some quality group touring. I hope we can build some interest in having a M100 breakfast & technical session.

I need to get to http://www.simeonefoundation.org/ in Philadelphia. Maybe as a side trip.

Income for benefits trade would be OK, and will be for some. I'm retired Air Force, so I already have all the benefits without having to pay for them, which makes it a trade of income for nothing.

Just did a little wire-swapping on the LEDs. Now they come on as tail lights instead of brakes. I really, REALLY, like the new look.
Sorry the pics are a little over-exposed. It gives a false impression of how the lights look in the real world. I'm still figuring out the camera settings.

Yep that's hugely better. Increasing your light-footprint, no matter which end of the car's in question, denotes success!
Strive for perfection in everything. (given time)
Take the best that exists & make it better. (given inclination)
If it doesn't exist, create it. (God did)
Ignore what I say. (good advice)

This was a very easy and inexpensive mod. Although I would rather have one of Marie's Elise light panels, on my budget, this is pretty good.
