Our private road (1/8 mile) is packed gravel, our driveway (last 150 yds) is asphalt.
Most of the red line is packed gravel.

So far only 4 commits.

Great, I know the concept but am all thumbs, see U there.

Btw - anyone on the MD (montgomery county) side want to meet in Poolesville and take Whites Ferry across? Meet at the Mickey Ds for coffee between 7:30 - 8:00.

I'll be thinking of y'all tomorrow as you enjoy the tech day. I'll be "enjoying" TSA & airports.

To all of you who slept in today, still time to get to the TD. Discovered a few back roads new to me. Thanks for hosting!

Thanks to Bryant and his lovely wife for hosting on this cool and beautiful day!

I had a great time seeing some old friends and meeting new ones.

Great burgers, and a lot of interesting conversation. A little work even got done!

Thanks again!

I also want to thank our hosts for the food and garage space.

Thanks to Jim also for the help. You taught me several new things and saved me time.

A good time was had by everyone. Not a huge turnout but a good group, some old faces and some new ones too.

In the afternoon, a bald eagle decided to make a low pass over the house. A nice sight.

Here are few photos Martha took.

Yes - Thanks to Byrant and his wife Martha it was another fantastic BMWBMW Tech day! =D>

There home and grounds are beautiful. If they ever host another Tech day you will not want to miss it! Come early for the fellowship and learning that goes on at every one of these events and then head out to West Virginia for a ride!

Thanks to Jim Bates for helping me diagnose my intermittent cruise control problem: a binding and damage throttle cable.

I look forward to the next BMWBMW Tech day!
