Well, I am off to bed
Leaving in the AM to go on a 450 mile trip to NY (with just wife - no kids) for 3 days. My wife wante dto fly and I said NO WAY
Car had 236 miles on it currently.

So this will probably be my last post for a few days - wife will not let me take the laptop on vacation because of this website - she said I nee a vacation form it.

Anyway - everyone here has been great
got the locks figures out, all of the buttons working, the phone working, and the mp3 working thanks to everyone here.

Now I just have to remember to vary the rpms for the entire trip

So long and good night (unless I get woken up in the middle of the night)

Going to NYC? My wife and I miss living there.....Anyway there's a great Italian restaurant for a date with your wife: it's called Scalinatella. It's on 61st and 3rd. I don't want to go off here, but it is hands down the best Italian restaurant I have ever been to...ever. A bit pricey, but it's a dining experience to remember.

I forgot to tell you.....they make their own homemade Limoncello!!!!!!! Wow the best Italian afterdinner drink.

Had to wake up so checked the site
Thanks guys
I will check into the restaurant.
Price is not an option - I have 6 kids so even going to Olive Garden costs me a small fortune - so when it is just me and my wife everything seems like a bargain.
