MY PET TRAFFIC PEEVE IS PEOPLE WHO STOP AT THE END OF ON RAMPS WHEN I'M LOOKING OVER MY SHOULDER FOR A GAP.
SAW THE PERFECT RETRIBUTION ONCE IN LITTLE ROCK: WOMAN IN A SMALL CAR DID THAT IN FRONT OF A JACKED-UP 3/4 TON PICKUP. HER FRAME WENT UNDER THE TRUCK AND ITS FRONT BUMPER LANDED RIGHT BEHIND HER FRONT SEAT. MADE IT A REAL COMPACT!

Oh Lort we have those left lane speed trap people here too. It's been the law here to move over but many don't. They feel that "I"m going the speed limit they can go around" Well, Betty that ain't how it works. Move your ass over, you're camping out in the passing lane. What irks me more is the morons that enter/exit the ramps going 42 in a 75 zone. Good way to get your rear end knocked off, especially by my house. There's a hill there and you'd better get a move on or get ran over. Two semis side by side not long ago and this idiot in front me enters bypass about 13mph and one semi's front end hit the ground he was on his brakes so hard. Sometimes ya just wish one would, but then again I don't want to see anyone get hurt.
Slow day here today, one lady finally approved her stuff, after 56 emails back and forth. Sick of it. Another dragging her feet and will be mad when I leave here tomorrow and ain't back till Tuesday and her truck just sits here. Ready to go home and sit in different chair.

..good rant Tommy.... very nice! We have the left lane folks out here also.... we do have signs that say Stay Right Except to Pass.... hell they can't read anyway.... I find that my hand signals are very helpful in getting them to move... hard to misinterpret what I am wanting them to do...

Letty, when I transferred the video from my phone to the computer for some reason it wont play. So for now. I can't share it. Too big a file for here anyway. I'd have to upload it to youtube.

STOP THE INSANITY! Last night Sue and I were driving home from the casino. We were getting close to home and had to go over a railroad crossing. A very bumpy railroad crossing. Just after we cleared it we heard a noise come from the back of the Suburban. A chunk of glass fell from the right rear quarter panel into the storage area. Of course I accused Sue of driving too fast over the crossing and the body flex must have broken the glass. Too dark to see much last night but upon further inspection this morning I found what appered to be an impact point. Looks like one of three possiblities. A vandal broke the glass with something at the casino. (An old man was pissed we had taken a handicapped spot before he could get it. He flipped me off but I didn't see it. Sue did.) We have a placard but don't put it up till we're parked.) Someone threw a rock or shot it with a bb gun at the crossing or somewhere else. Sue thinks every trip is like driving a race at Daytona so another driver could have done it on the highway. In any case I brought the Suburban into the glass shop today and should have it back by this evening. It should cost around $325. They told me $306 but not sure if that included sales tax. Tha saga continues.
Speaking of Daytona ..... Florida passed a slower traffic keep right law that will soon be enforced by Highway Patrol. We have an incredible number of left lane huggers that obstruct the flow of traffic. Funny thing is the right lanes often end up being tha passing lanes. Some people get in the left lane and just drive the speed limit. The unmitigated gall. Dont they understand Florida driving? 80 is the new 60/65/70. Many drive at 90 plus. Directionals are optional. No matter how many laws thay pass you can't fix stupid. Not to fo forget. Many that live here don't hablo the inglés. Others need to get a cell phone implant. And yet others should have given up their license years ago. Time to move on. But before I go, to those that keep their Christmas lights up year round .... Merry Christmas.

Good morning, wow I missed a lot the last few days. Happy birthday Marcus. Matt that car wiring looks like a nightmare. Tommy I'm speechless over the car, that's just beyond weird. Sorry for your losses there. Can you share the vid?
I was off Friday so went home and drug all the patio stuff out from under there to the yard and a few other chores, and wood was delivered. Saturday Arron framed back patio and I cleaned all the junk I drug out and tossed some and organized, and put it all back up there, most of it. Sunday we worked a bit and rested for a couple hours, then back to Jonesboro for a few groceries and some more Lowe's stuff we needed. Yesterday he went back to work so I put in all the screens, vacuumed back there, put a few more things back, did laundry, rolled trash out and made supper. I'm beyond wore out. Looks like y'all all had a busy weekend too. I need an Alaska cruise myself, or just somewhere away from work.

Getting caught up on pre-cruise chores and going to start packing. Expected temps in the 30-60 range in Alaska so lots of clothes to keep me warm and a pair of gloves. Looking forward to the majestic snow capped mountains, bluer than blue skies, animals and marine life in natural habitats, crisp fresh air and of course viewing the glaciers. We LOVE Alaska. Two weeks on a cruise ship with a casino open for vast amounts of time. Dangerous. Extremely dangerous.

Happy tax day everyone!
Tommy, sorry to hear about the car. Really tough luck. TB - yes, I had to cut the horizontal brackets out. I actually drilled the rivets out I thought it was easier. Hope everyone has a great day!

Goo dafternoon. Marcus, the car was locked, manual transmission 5 speed, left in 1st gear with emergency brake on. Started moving on it's own. No one in the car, no key, ignition off.The office camera caught it on video. Showed the police. No one wants to believe it but it is true and have the video to prove it. I signed the car over to our Porsche mecahnic to do with it what he will. Damage to the hood, the nose, left fender crushed, left front suspension broken and a big dent in the frame. Probably could have repaired it for resale but it would be like throwing good money after bad. Waiting for a call from my insurance company to make sure I can give the car away. Fact is, I already did. Sigrned over the title this morning. I think it will be put back in roadwothy condition. You can do that when you start with a car that cost you nothing. Our loss wil be somebody's gain.

Thanks Teeb.... it's getting there... like I said before the car itself is like new due to a rotisserie restoration of the original California car. Which I'm told was almost rust free to begin with. The drivetrain is all there but not very streetable when I got it. fixing that now... makes me smile when I see it....love the lines...
I'm thinking of doing a 64 theme to my small but insignificant collection... I got the 64 Honda 250 Scrambler and now the 64 Polara....so next should be the 64 Corvette... right? waiting to hear more about the possessed Pooorchaaa...or PP we can call it.... so weird.... workout day.... keep firing on all 8 Guru's

Morning guys... A beautiful morning here too. 60 now (9:30) headed to nearly 90 this afternoon. No wind now but they are saying it is going to howl this afternoon.
Rosie and I are headed north about an hour to install the 'barn doors' I built for a brother knight. Then on to a KofC meeting up there. Sorry for all your troubles Tommy. Matt, did you have to remove a section of the dash to install the Double Din radio? Seems I remember they said I would lose something...maybe the ash tray/lighter port part of the lower dash and move the HVAC control down into that position..... The Polara is looking good Marc. Have they found anything on your car yet, Gris?

I'm living a bad dream right now. The stars are not aligned and it's been wreaking havoc. Must have had something to do with the eclipse. On Thursday the 928 was parked in front of the nursery with it's for sale signs. On the cameras at 13:13 the 928 started on it's own and drove into the street colliding with a box truck knocking out it's drive shaft and shifting it's rear end. The 928 is totaled. The driver said the car pulled out into him. We were all like "Really?". When we went back and looked at the cameras sure as $#!+ the 928 pulled out and smashed into him. No key. No driver. Just strted and "BAM!". The internet says it could have been a rare solonoid malfuntion. There can be no other reason unless a lizard jumped the cables with it's body. We are just dumbfounded. Dumfounded and out of $10,000 plus we are reponsible for damages. The car was insured for $100,000 liability,. State Farm wants a copy of the vid. Plain as day it started on it's own. Nobody around the car. A buyer showed up with an envelope of cash on Friday for the purchase. Multiple 's right now. I asked the news reported to wait till after I come back from vacation to meet for a story on my son. Still missing. I'm experiencing some anxiety and a touch of depression right now but I am aware and combatting it as this is not my first around with with The vaction is much needed. I need a total disconnect. Oh well. Onward. Take one step forward. Hopefully not two steps back

THE JONAH CAR STILL IN THE SHOP, MATT, IT WILL TAKE A WHILE TO FIND AND VERIFY THE FIX.
ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL MORNING IN THE NATIONS, 60 ON THE FRONT PORCH, A BREEZY 82 AFTER NOON. SPRING LIKE---I CAN COPE :-) NOTHING ON THE AGENDA, BUT PAYING BILLS AND A RUN OVER TO MUSKOGEE. TAXES PAID, I HAVE ONE ARM AND ONE LEG REMAINING. THE NATIONAL SOCIALISTS ARE BUSY MAKING LIGHTBULBS MORE EXPENSIVE PURSUANT TO THE GLOBAL WARMING SCAM AND IN DENVER THEY ARE CUTTING BACK ON FIRE AND POLICE DEPARTMENTS TO SPEND MORE MONEY ON ILLEGAL ALIENS a.k.a APPRENTICE DEMOCRATS. AIN'T IT GREAT?

On the C5 convertible the first thing you remove is the waterfall. Then the arm rest, then the traction control switch cover, then the center console, then the radio bezel. They all fit together like a puzzle. I also took off the knee bolster and the under dash covers to get to the wiring. It's a little daunting at first but I've had it apart at least 8-10 times now so I knock it out pretty quick. You also need to cut out the support brackets inside the dash and use an aftermarket radio bezel to fit the new double din.

Good Morning CGs!
Should be a nice sunny day today. I'll sleep through most of it. I have to teach TKD class this morning from 9-12 and then back home and in bed. Drove the Corvette for the first time this season yesterday. What a great feeling. Hope everyone has a great day!

Hey guys, been really busy.... again, or is it still?
Had a beautiful day here, but wasn't able to capitalize on it. Matt, what did you have to remove to get the radio installed in the dash like that? Happy BD Marc.

Got the car 99% done today. Didn't need to pull the passenger seat, I was able to slide it forward and pull the side trim off and pull the wire up. Sounds good. Subwoofer is not quite as loud as I had hoped but I'm an old man now, right?
One thing I found out is the aftermarket unit doesn't give me the option to put the antenna down even with the radio in the off position. I don't like that. Now I need to run a toggle switch to the antenna and back up to the console. Gris - did you get the electrical gremlins sorted out?

Good Morning CGs!
Working nights has been rough the last few months. Really messed up my schedule so I'm not on here too much. Did get a chance to work on the Corvette and was able to rewire everything and put it back together. Only thing left is to finish running the 8 gauge power wire for the amplifier in the trunk. I need to pull the passenger seat for that. New radio sounds way better even with the Bose speakers. Now that the weather is turning nice I can finally drive it again. Hope everyone has a great day!

Good evening Gris, same here, bazillion mile an hour winds. Seems that's most of what we've had this spring, wind or cold or rain. Glad to be home was a crazy day, need to get up and get started tomorrow cleaning off back patio so we can screen it in. Got dinner ordered out, too tired to mess around in the kitchen tonight

Good evenin, cloudy here like a nader could pop out at any moment. This is Arkansas, wouldn't surprise me. I've been going and going and am taking a break while supper cooks. Hope everyone enjoyed the eclipse, it was beautiful here, sat in the backyard, we were 99.98 here so about 20 mins before total I drove on into the edge of Jonesboro not far from where I work then came back home. Not crowded here at all but I heard our town and Paragould were really sticking it to hotel guests on rates. One listing showed almost a grand for a night and there was a 2 night minimum. Nuts. Measured a plane today, will be doing 2, and I have about a dozen more folders on my desk. It's just that time of year. Lumber shows up Friday for the back patio screening party if anyone wants to drive over and help.
