Good Morning CGs!

Weather here has been up and down (left and right, front and back, top and bottom). It's raining now, but it's not snow and I don't have to shovel it.

TB - how is your recovery coming along?

Brad - I don't think I could tolerate a five hour phone call. You're a better man than I am.

Is Tommy on another cruise?

Hope everyone has a great day!

Hey guys, I didn't get a lot done, but was busy all day. I had the HalTech on "Ole Red" I hope to get those 15 at least, Marcus....I don't think I got anything out of it, except a lighter wallet.

Yippeeeee........its morning......hot coffee.....

Cold here.....and cloudy. Who cares? I got projects in the warm shop...

Just ordered a Halltech Killer Bee intake system for the Grand Sport. They back their stuff up with dyno pulls. Looking to break 140 in the half mile next June. with tune 30 rwhp.......with out tune 15 hp.

ok better work to pay for all this ...... have a day Guru's

Some pretty cool pics:

LOL @ GRIS

Howdy! They say it will be sunny tomorrow. I think it is like the sign I saw at a bar once that said "Free Beer Tomorrow". I will believe it when I see it.

Have a bright and cheery day, Gurus!

IT'S RAINING ON THE CHEROKEES, AND ALL THE OTHER CIVILIZED TRIBES THIS MORNING, A GRAY AND DISMAL DAY IN STORE.

MY MEMORY IS IMPROVING. YESTERDAY I WALKED INTO A ROOM AND REMEMBERED WHY I WENT IN THERE---OK, SO IT WAS THE BATHROOM :-)

Cold and really windy (even by Kansas standards) today. Not a lot planned for today. I have a little job that I, without help, couldn't do. But, the client, is willing to do the actual work if I just "help" him through the process. So, he's coming over a little later to do the work.

Got to go....Later folks.

Morning guys....

Too much left of this day to suit me. Filled with stupid people today and that isn't helping.
Still cold, that isn't helping either.
I have things I need to do at home and not in the mood nor do I have the energy.
Enjoy the rest of it everyone

Hidey-ho! Got sucked into a 5-hour phone call right away, and now I'm on another call. On the bright side, the day is almost over.

LOL, bubblegum!

Enjoy what's left of you day, Gurus!

SUNNY, BREEZY, AND COOL IN THE NATIONS THIS MORNING. WENT OVER TO TAHLEQUAH FOR A 0800 HAIRCUT, MY BARBERESS GETS GOING EARLY.

REMINDS ME OF CHILDHOOD IN SMALL TOWN TEXAS WHEN DAD MARTEN WOULD OPEN HIS HARDWARE STORE AT SIX IN THE MORNING SO THE FARMERS COULD GET STUFF THEY NEEDED BEFORE STARTING TO WORK IN THE FIELDS.

I DO LOVE HEADLINES. THIS FROM UPI:

Researchers: USS San Diego was sunk by German land mine

THAT SHIP SHOULD HAVE STAYED IN THE WATER :-)

Glad he got the chance and did well with it Teeb.

Nothing to report here today.....other than work work work...... booked some time in Florida the end of February last night.

Tried the bundling with airfare and hotel and saved about a 1,000 bucks. yeah I know sounds to good to be true but we checked and double checked and that's what it was.

Do you notice how cheap airfare starts out at and how much it is when you get done with baggage costs and upgraded seating and flex tickets that allow you to cancel if you have to and not lose your money. Yeah, not cheap no mo......... oh well a week at the beach is Priceless right? Damn right.......

Have some fun today Guru's....... yippee.......

Morning guys...Our boys kicked a$$ and took names last night. My GS (not the best Bball player on the team) got to play late in the game and got to shoot one shot, and drained a trey. He may not be the best player on the team, but probably is the best pure shot on the team. Too bad he's not quick.

Got a few little things to work on today. I hope all of you have a great day.

Slow day at the office today. All day in Little Rock yesterday, pre surgery tests done. I cannot believe I was in and out of three different areas at UAMS for four different tests in an hour flat. Took a friend with me so we ate after and hit a few junk stores then headed home. Been cold here, we had the small ice storm blow through and blow on out but it's still cold here (to us anyway).

My shopping consists of gift cards from various vendors......that is for me.....I don't know what anybody else will get.....

Must go outside and work today....... have to help pay for my bad habits....like cars and motorcycles.......

I hope you will have an enjoyable experience today Guru's.....

Greetings! Foggy again today, but if you use your imagination, the sun might be up there somewhere. I am done with shopping, my last item arrived yesterday. Nice to be done with that early for a change.

Have a good day, all!

CLEAR AND COLD IN THE NATIONS THIS MORNING, THEY SAY IT WILL GET UP TO 60 TODAY, BUT WILL BE WINDY.

NOTHING ON THE AGENDA TODAY BUT A FEW OPTIONAL ERRANDS.

TEE, IT'S GOOD TO HEAR YOU'RE DOING WELL AFTER YOUR MEDICAL "CUT AND PASTE".

THE U-CHEBY IS REALLY LOOKING GREAT, THE WHITE WALLS SET IT OFF VERY NICELY.

A chilly start to the day, 21 now but headed towards the mid 50s....a nice December day.

Two weeks away from the big day! Hope all of you are ready...or close.

We have the first home basketball game tonight. We only have like 8 girls out for basketball, so no JV girls game and I don't have to be there until 5:45.

I'm a week out on my surgery and feeling pretty darn good. Still a bit of swelling in the groin, but any pain is, more or less, gone.

We are headed to KC this weekend for GD dance recital..Monday, we will come home through Wichita and see the doctor, who will, hopefully, release me to do a little more. Still not pushing things, not worth it.

Morning guys.....

Car looks great, Marcus!

Hey guys...I slept in some this morning, but almost as soon as I got up I had a phone call requiring me to go look at a computer problem. So I left the house pretty quick. That call took me about 1 1/2 hours, then I headed up to school as they got a new laser engraver I wanted to look at. It's a pretty cool piece of equipment. While there I had another call for a computer problem, so I headed over there to work on it....an hour and a half later I'm finally back home. Now I'm headed back to the school to look at the new controller for the scoreboards.....better take a look at it before the first home game tomorrow, if not, I'll really be in a world of hurt.

It was a pretty cold start this morning, but is warming up nicely this afternoon.

Belly feels normal this morning, but groin area is still letting me know that the doc did some work down there. Not horrible, but, nagging.

Got to go.

Greetings! This morning, commuters have to deal with freezing fog. I will watch it on the nooz, glad to not be participating.

Have a good day, Gurus!

Good morning fellow travelers ...... thanks Tom for posting those pics....I can not figure out how to get them from the computer to post on here. Ya the wife wanted the old whitewalls and wheel cover look and now that it is on the car I really like it. Those are Coker P205/75 R15 Radials with the Coker Tri 5 15 x 7 rims made to clear the disc brakes. The hubcaps are new from Danchuk who makes everything for the mid 5's......... fun car........ Next is figure out how to get the front seat to slide back more so I can fit in better. Also will need a sound system since we lost the dash speaker when the AC went in it. More on that later.

Monday already....... yesterday I did the floors and put the lights on the tree. Memo to self.....go get the tree late every year and that makes it easier to pick a tree when there are only 3 left. Brilliant......

Guess I will get to work now......... enjoy the day Guru's......

SEMI-SUNNY AND COLD IN THE NATIONS THIS MORNING, MAY GET UP TO FIFTY DEGREES, ACCORDING TO THE EMBARRASSED WEATHER WIZARDS.

NOTHING ON THE AGENDA TODAY BUT AUTO-ROTATION.

ENJOY YOUR MONDAY, GURUS

HI, Y'ALL---

The original wheel covers look great!

Just in case, Marcus:

https://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2018/12/0 ... -hill/6711544210423/?sl=3

Marcus sent me this picture for me to post....Uwoman, was wanting it to look like it rolled off the assembly line, so they found some steel wheels and hubcaps.

Hidey-ho! Heat wave here, they are saying it could be in the 30's in a few days. Where'd I put my shorts? :P

Good to hear you are over the hump, Tom!

Have a good day, all!

Slept good and slept in this morning....apparently so did everyone else. The weather here isn't too bad, close to normal for this time of year. 24 now, headed to upper 40s.

Swelling is receding...and, I guess, the bruising is too. Belly is feeling almost normal.

We have both GSs here as #2 is in Dallas with S/O at the Cowboy football game. They will return tomorrow. So Grandma is spoiling them and has set out steaks for supper tonight.

I hope all of you are having a great weekend and that the weather is treating you well.

SEMI-SUNNY AND 37 IN THE NATIONS THIS MORNING. NO SNOW, NO SLEET, NO RAIN, NO 25 DEGREE LOW LAST NIGHT. THE WEATHER WIZARDS REALLY SCREWED THE POOCH THIS TIME.

77 COUNTIES DECLARED WEATHER DISASTER BASED ON THE FORECAST. CHRISTMAS PARADES WERE CALLED OFF. WORST OF ALL HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAMES WERE CANCELED.

THE TORCHES AND PITCHFORKS HAVE COME OUT; WEATHER FORECASTERS ARE IN “PROTECTIVE CUSTODY”

WE LIVE IN INTERESTING TIMES, GURUS :-)

Morning guys....

been busier than busy of late... need to clean up the little yellow car... and change the oil!!

Worked out in the shop part of the day. Had Rosie and GS#3 move the stuff around for me and I ran some files on the CNC. Stomach is itchy under the brace they tell me I need to wear, at least until I see doc again a week from Monday.

Went to church, then walked up to Main Street for the twilight Christmas parade. Now watching our team play for the championship of the tourney they are playing in.

Here's a little story for when the movie comes on over the holidays:

https://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2018/12/0 ... -the-night/3171544203643/

I stopped at 20' tree and was like WTF ???

All of the Christmas is up here except then I made the mistake of visiting Hobby Lobby and the stuff is half price and saw all the sea creatures and glass pretty things and wanted them all. Found some other things cheaper too so now I want a tree or wreath or something in the pool house. Like I'm ever out there to see it.
Cold and rainy here, sun is supposed to come out tomorrow and Monday too. I'm headed to Little Rock Monday for some tests to hoping for good weather

Must go get the tree today and get it decorated.....got a new cast iron tree stand from Amazon that looks like the real deal......takes 2 of us to lift it but it should become a family heirloom down the road. tired of the red and green painted stands that bend and twist and don't work with a 20' tree....... just kidding just a 9' tree......

Have a really fine American day Guru's....

Teeb glad you are on the mend......

Howdy! I'm planning for a lazy day here. I haven't gotten around to installing the shocks I bought for my wife's car, and I could probably do that, but I'm pretty sure I'll just think about it instead.

Have a good day, everybody!

Morning guys...another decent night for me. I slept mostly through the night and slept good. Belly is feeling better and the swelling in the 'other area' is slowly going down, but the bruising is alarming, to me. Still hurts to cough.

Obviously, not much on my agenda today. It cold to start and really isn't warming up much (mid 30s). I hope you all have a great day.

GOOD MORNING, Y'ALL---

CLOUDY AND NOT SO COLD THIS MORNING, THE WEATHER BOFFINS ARE PREDICTING RAIN, SLEET, AND SNOW TODAY. THE CHEROKEES WISH THEY WOULD MAKE UP THEIR MINDS.

NOTHING ON THE AGENDA TODAY BUT A FEW ERRANDS THAT I COULD RUN BETWEEN THE RAIN-SLEET-SNOW OUTBURSTS.

Anything non-productive, abnormal, perverted, or anti-american is sure to be pimped by the media.

Howdy! I got busy right away this morning, and stayed that way all day, down to a conference call right at the end. Then a little jaunt to run some errands, and it is finally time to relax.

Pearl Harbor is a sobering place, indeed - I'm grateful to have gotten the chance to see it.

Sorry to hear about your cousin, GRIS.

Glad you are continuing to improve, Tom.

Bon voyage, Tommy!

Enjoy what little is left of your day, Gurus!

Have a good time, Tommy.

Whatta day! Made it through and did hardly anything I had planned. Heading out early in the A.M.. Bags are packed and I'm ready to go. Don't let the door hit me on the way out. Adios. See ya in a week or so.

Good Evening CGs!

So do you say happy Pearl Harbor Day? Realistically, it's a somber event. I don't think you would want to preface the title of the day with a "happy."

It is cold here as well about 20 degrees right now. Is it summer yet?

Gris, sorry to hear about your cousin.

TB, hope recovery is going well.
