So, Ol' Blue's got reason to be excited because her and her cousin Dory will have a new bedroom in a few weeks. Finally, they don't have to sleep outside while I'm warm inside! 
The new place has one of these:
Oh yes, I'm stoked. Srsly. However, notice anything odd? Huge 2 car garage. Single, tiny incandescent bulb. Hmmm, how do we fix this? Well, Ol' Blue had to chip in and do a little work today:
There was a couple selling fluorescent lights on Craigslist. These are all 2x4", 3 bulb grid fluorescents. You'll count 8 in the hatch, and there's a 'hidden' one in the passenger seat. Arrange them 3 x 3, multiply by 3 bulbs each and that's 27 fluorescents in a 2 car garage. It's gonna be bright as a muuuuug in there
. Yay for having a workshop!
Oh... they were $15 a pop. Lowes lists equivalent ones at almost $50/ea. Word?

Power washed my rear inner fenders, wiped them down with autobdy degreaser, dried and reapplied a nice new coat of black rock guard into the seams to get ready for winter. You could see the factory white seam sealer and blue paint so now its nice and black and sealed.

I put 950something miles on my car between yesterday and today (Saturday and Sunday). Crossed 93000 miles like 20 minutes from getting back to my place in Rochester.
the meet in Atlantic City was good times! The 22V Trinity got to meet up again (myself, Stephen/satimko (don't think he's registered on here), and rob/liquid_ag)

35.96mpg down.. haven't calculated the way back up but it's probably 32.something. I didn't follow the speed limit as closely (on the way down I set the cruise at 110km/h and didn't exceed that) --for the last 30 or so miles in Pennsylvania I was following a 'blue' (gray lol) Mazdaspeed3 and we were going 80mph-ish
woot the low fuel light isn't even on yet! I made it to 396 and it still wasn't on!!
Here's the 22v trinity:
