[Mgs] wiper blades

[Paul Root]

Oh, does it show? :-)

The Sprints are this weekend. It's just me and my oldest this weekend.  
My younger son has a baseball tournament. I'm wanting to drive the MG,  
but the weather looks like it's going to be wet.

He's got the new car this year (Rabbit GTI), and I think he's still  
sorting it out. I'm sketchy on details, but seems he had engine  
issues, spun a bearing or something. He's got the engine back from the  
shop, and has it installed again.

Still, I get the feeling that we wouldn't be on the podium this year.
