This place, a small restaurant on the Island called Sunrise Bistro, has 
eggs, ham, sausage, bacon, and some veg, it was kinda like a loose 
omelet over the (pepper jack) cheese grits.  With an awesome biscuit!  
It was very good, enough to last you all day! Not what I would eat every 
day (I would become a Jabba) but an occasional brunch dish...  easy 
enough to make at home too, use some good grits!

Thanks to the efforts of Curley and Max and an afternoon Benzing, we
got new brake calipers and pads all around on the CD that has been in
the barn waiting for awhile. I still need to bleed them a bit, pedal
was spongy and wasn’t getting much braking. But that’s OK. They sent
me the wrong front hoses so I need to change those out too. Was a
gorgeous day, just right for a Benz day!

I drove it a bit, washed it so it’s looking good again. Needs a
transmission fluid filter change and oil too so will get to that soon
as well. Fired right up after sitting for a year or more, no telling
what’s in the tank but it ran. Smoky, needs a good hard run I think.

But progress! And thankful for good friends!
