        Hadn’t checked in on “the euro” in a while, first videos I’ve seen of it running and driving but it’s been back together for a few years now with the M30B35 swap I sold with it. Car sounds great, I’d love to see it in person.

          What a small world!! My son (David_R04) is at Platteville with the the AEC.  And of course, once they saw his E34, got drafted into working on "the euro".

          Anytime your in the area get with David. He would be glad show you around.

            Hey Chris My names David Rerak. I believe we have met before, but I am on the team that's currently working on it. If you're ever in town I can definitely show you around, and I can keep you posted on the dates that we take it racing, and I'll maybe see if we can get you some seat time around the track if you're interested.

              Yeah we’ve talked at the e30 picnic a few times over the years. That would be awesome! Does the AEC still do a yearly car show as well? I used to put that one the calendar here. My in-laws live in mineral point, I get down there a few times a year.

                Cell phone shot through the car window from 2 weeks ago. Been carrying the camera on my walks but have been largely uninspired. Eagerly awaiting spring...

                    High of 82 degrees yesterday, and it's literally F'n snowing right now. I've lived in this state my whole life, but this S still F's me up.

                      Went out to Jefferson swap meet/car show for something to do. Really strange being at a swap meet after a few years away. It's It's own sort of culture I guess... Turnout wasn't great because of the weather. The only thing I bothered to take a picture of was this barn-find Camero. It looked it had been fixed up just enough to get running and driving, but left as-is otherwise.P4290028.JPG

                        I usually go to all the swap meets at Jefferson throughout the year. Kind of a tradition with my dad and brother. Been going for many years. Decided to pass on this one due to the weather. Good to know we didn't miss much.

                            “How are you gentlemen!!”

                            I am alive but partaking of the car hobby in a much more manageable and scaled back manner.

                            The way I was trying to do it before was not in balance and not a good fit for my lifestyle.

                            Appreciate you thinking of me! Are you still involved with RA?

                              I am not. That was a fun couple of months, but they rightfully so have now dedicated someone to running their socials.

                              I would like to think that I pushed them in the right direction of actually utilizing their socials.

                                    Oh, there was rock climbing too. Here's our old friend Ben on pitch 8 out of 11 on a climb called "Prime Rib".

                                    20230617142120.jpg

                                    This pitch was my first outdoor lead, and the climb in general was my first multi-pitch adventure. I've wanted to do something like this since I started climbing, so it was pretty cool. Fun, but long.

                                    On to the next challenge...

                                    PS: Here's a picture of a lake:

                                      Left vs Right is a distraction. It's been this way since the beginning of "civilization". I don't have any solutions, I just wanted to point out that "civilization" is the legalization of theft from the masses for the benefit of a few. Surely this 18 yr old has a much greater economic value than you or I, lol. Sorry, I'm a bit behind on the news.

                                        Sure, it was bad, but it's actually gotten much worse, and the war will make it even worse still.

                                          Not BMW related but fun car stuff so figured I'd share. I took the Bronco for a day trip to Tigerton OHV park on Labor day and spent the day exploring the trails there.

                                          37308431426187912216309037106835670079676372n.jpg

                                          3720139586730533077617444607241516139181982n.jpg

                                          37215806810244681523129016944824001774879357n.jpg=

                                          37348215810718263038020397301189262598104866n(1).jpg

                                          Didn't take pics of any of the harder stuff but we got into some proper rock crawling in a few places where the skid plates and lockers came in handy. The only bummer of the day was that my wheels picked up a few scrape marks from some hidden rocks in a very avoidable (lol) mud hole... I'm considering switching them out to some steelies from a black diamond model so I don't need to worry about it as much next time. 10/10 though, would do it again.
