Thank you Sir, Wife really likes her being shiny, we pulled her still clean out from under the carport from under her cover, took a drive ... was a clear clean day. ASAP at home, I could tell, she wanted to wash her again ... so we did, she dried, then back under the cover on the carport, tender plugged back in.
If we go out in the Mustang, I know we are eating out in a "sit down" as no food is allowed in "HER GT", not gonna happen. I've jokingly asked her for permission to service the car, I have a Hurst line lock kit specifically for the car, for Wife to use as a hill holder ... I chagrin at the thought of a smudge.

Thomas Jefferson built the baths at Warm Springs, in Bath County, Va. We took a ride over a coule days ago, was beautifl weather, nice to see they are being restored.
Then we drove over into West Virginia and Fall is here.
Headed home, worked a lot of Sunday afternoon radar here over the years.

All down hill, got some really high rollers here.
And just yesterday, 10/18/25, we did the same ride as 2022, same car too, again, weather was pretty much same too .... 39 west / 220 south / 39 west / 219 south / then 60 east to White Sulfur and used I-64 east to Penny's Diner at Low Moor for food, then we came on east to 11 north and home. Was a lot of folks at Mr. Jeffersons restored bath house. Might have been some demonstrators like we saw later at Marlinton and Lewisburg? Was somewhat shocked that Penny's had NO menus now, just the choices on a wall overhead with no prices. I hope they fix staffing issues too & get menus back, or they gonna fail there. Ladies at the next table were complaining too, gonna write a letter they said, I said "include us please".

I had a low tire warning over near Goshen. Pulled into the BP there and looked at the tires, all looked to be up just like when I left home, but I gauged them ... 3 were great at 39 - 40 psi, that left front was about 24 - 25 psi and that's not rare as it has long had a very very slow leak, but I noticed the left rear had some longish side wall cracks and the left front had the start of cracks in the side wall too, so I was really paying attention rest of the drive, did not want a blow out on these wheels. Today we went up to Waynesboro, ordered some tires, they'll contact me when in and I'll drive it up there. Ordered some tires I didn't know still existed, Road Hugger(s) were pretty popular in the '70s, I ran them on several different cars back then, nice looking tire, I was always happy with them. 235 / 55 R17 "GTP AS/02". Mustang has 17"x8" wheels, guy showed me the tire changer. OK.
Nice looking tires, black wall where back in the day they were RWL which looked great on my cars then. At $140 each, I'll try them and if they seem like will make me happy, our Mercury GM uses the same size on it's 17x7" "Sport" wheels.
Back in '79 -'81 we lived in Manassas, I enjoyed patrolling Rt 15 up past the old scale turnout, was way more relaxing than the other end of Pr. Wm. Co. That and running out by The Plains or Marshall. I could stray some. Was beautiful.

Got the tires on Thursday the 30th, and they balanced them with NO external weights, any weights are behind the spokes .... and there is NO vibration. Call it a "win-win" experience at "Discount Tire". Those Road Huggers are really nice riding too.
