...VB there didn't happen to be a dime bag in the glove compartment as a bonus from the other shop was there......

I was out selling today... and had a good day.... more the same tomorrow.... 50 today and 45 tomorrow..... nothing to write home about.... at least it is not snowing....

think thin Guru's

good afternoon, another beautiful day here, full on summer but by tonight will be full on winter with a low of 35. Friday we will have storms again followed by summer on Saturday and Sunday then winter storms again Monday through Wednesday. Gotta love Arkie weather.
And in other news I have taken a fleet from two shops here in town. Dude came here to get quoted a year or two ago and was a straight up ass. He was to everyone. Well the installer that worked here that stole us blind one night and left, ended up installing them , and a different shop here, who has badmouthed us, was printing them. The print shop is primarily a marijuana and vape shop, go figure. And Travis, our former employee is a pot head. Between those 2 shops, guy got a bad install or something and came back over here. We did one install for him, and he brought the truck from Travis and compared. Hands down ours was best. He just dropped off a Hummer H2 for us to peel the old wrap off of and print and install a new one. I'm calling that a win for the week.

HOT again. Sweating weather has returned. I was cleaning the garage and of course I got a call to come look at a nursery golf cart battery issue. Every freaking day I seem to get a call that breaks my stride and messes with my Chi. Ahh-uhmmmm. Ah-uhmmmm.

HI TEE---

SUNNY AND COLD HERE, 42 ON THE FRONT PORCH, NORTH WIND BLOWING. 56 IS THE PREDICTED HIGH.

GOT A COUPLE OF ERRANDS TO RUN TODAY, PILLS TO REFILL.

ENJOY YOUR DAY, AMIGOS!

Chilly start here. Hopefully it will warm up a little, as today is the first track meet of the season. So we will be headed east this afternoon to watch Leo run.

Got some countertops to apply laminate to, today. And then this afternoon, we are going to try to put the metal on the roof on the shed we built for the church, then off to the track meet.

Morning guys....

Good evening, it was perfectly beautiful here yesterday and unbeknownst to me I was scheduled to go with Arron to get my taxes done. Ugh. Sat around after. Up and at a doc office at 8am, then another to set up a consult then another to inquire about soemthing else, then 45 mins later in the next town at my friend's retro shop. Were trying to figure out what she owes me for the last 2 months plus we traded for a couple of things and I picked up one item today. I dropped off four more to sell. And one large vase I had that i paid $50 for a year or two ago, went for $385 this past week. MCM glass has gone through the roof. Came home about 2 and it was nice again today and remarkably quiet out so I just held the lawn chair down till suppertime.

If you like apple pie like that, Gris, you'd like German apple pancakes.

A little chilly here. Sun is out but it's deceiving. Supposed to be in the upper 50s on Friday.....and rain. Of course.

Hope everyone has a great day!

...well while you guys ponder your day I have been up doing chores and scrubbing floors.... that's the way it is out here in corn country.... if you don't work you don't eat...

I prefer my apple pie with some cinnamon ice cream with the pie warmed up..... wow...making me hungry now.... my grandma always had big Dutch oven apple pies she served at breakfast for the men on the ranch along with steak and eggs and fried potatoes..... those men used to burn a lot of calories back in the day....

I better get to it..... got lots to do.... git er done Guru's

To me apple pie with cheese is cheesy.


Plan on doing something today. Still sitting in my pajama shorts at 10:30. Oh well.

0937 AND ALL IS WELL---SO FAR.

SUNNY, 40 DEGREES ON THE FRONT PORCH, EAST WIND. NOT VERY COMFORTABLE OUTSIDE, 60 IS THE PREDICTED HIGH.

I GOT AN APPLE PIE FOR ANNIVERSARY, THINK I'LL HAVE A BIG PIECE WITH MELTED CHEESE ON TOP FOR BREAKFAST :-)

AUTO ROTATION DAY, HARVEY UP.

INFLATION EXPLAINED:
“Inflation is made in Washington because only Washington can create money, it’s always and everywhere a result of too much money, of a more rapid increase in the quantity of money than in output. Inflation in the United States is made in Washington and nowhere else.”
Friedman 1978

TRUE THEN AND TRUE NOW. ONLY GOVERNMENT PROFITS FROM INFLATION BY PAYING OFF OLD SOUND MONEY DEBT WITH CHEAP MONEY.

Slept in a bit. Not a lot planned for the day.

Morning guys....

Good Evening CGs!

Was cool this morning but warmed up to around 50*. Rain just rolled in....heavy thunderstorms and hail decided to join the club just for fun.

Ordered some new aluminum bolt in jacking pucks for the Corvette. I have the rubber set but they are just ok. Plus I always forget to remove them. The aluminum set is thinner so I hope it does the job.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Yes indeed. Pizza NEVER goes in a microwave. Short term oven reheat at 225 does the trick for me.
Sue hit a jackpot for a grand last night. That gave us the money to play till the wee hours of the morning. Got home at 04:30 AM. Couple of chores I'm gonna piddle with today.

Quote:

MICROWAVE EVIL, MUST USE REGULAR OVEN, ALUMINUM PIZZA PAN, HEAT TO 350 OR SO. OF COURSE THIS REQUIRES A GOOD, JUICY PIZZA TH START WITH---

...ya to me leftover pizza never tasted as good as the first go round of it.... microwave does not do it justice...

I took my 21 Revival into the Harley store for service awhile back... cost just over 600 bucks for a service which includes oil change and checking belt tightness and such.... I told them that was ridiculous 3 or $400 was bad enough back when.... labor rates are $145 bucks an hour..... not going to work for me so will have to look elsewhere.... or do it myself like I used to....

first rain then snow last night.... winter never gives up easily around here....

Here is a heads up if you can go to Costco.... Peanut Butter Chocolate cream pie.... like 5 lbs of almost sin it's so good..... I can't stay away from it.... coincidentally the 5 lbs it weighs will be what you gain if you eat one....

do something fun today Guru's.... I'm going to have some breakfast pie.....

HI TEE,
COLD HERE TOO, BUT THE SUN IS SHINING. 48 GOING ON 64, SUPPOSED TO CLOUD UP LATER.

FOLLOWED LETTY'S ADVISE, POT PLANT, CARD, MAD MONEY. NEVER DID FIND ANYTHING I THOUGHT WORTHY.

DOG IS FED, I'M FED---A SLIGHTLY UNORTHODOX FAVORITE, LEFTOVER PIZZA WARMED UP IN THE OVEN :-)

ALWAYS FORWARD, GURUS!

Up early and ready to head up to the church hall, as the Knights are serving breakfast this morning.

It's chilly out there and they are still saying we could get some moisture... didn't get any last night, so, I'm not too hopeful that we'll see any.

Morning guys...

Congratulations on the sale Tommy!
Good evening, I guess we got about 6" of rain yesterday, the pool was over full and spilling out this morning. He replaced the compensator on the Harley last night and finished today, after a run to the Harley store for oil , and signed up to win one and got a free bag with a cup and koozie in there. Knowing HD that's probably a $200 bag. ($2 elsewhere), they're kinda like Snapon with the prices of stuff.
I got around later and met the Vette crew next town over and we drove to the hills for a late lunch/early dinner. Bout an hour drive there and back. Beautiful day here, sunny and 63. You'd never know we had those storms last night. Arkansas weather is nuts. Two more severe storm chances the next 10 days. Sick of it. Tee I'd like to move out there, no rain sounds wonderful to me right now. We get any more of this trees will start falling over.

..the old whale tail has moved on..... I'm always sad to see a car of mine go down the driveway.... with someone else driving it.... usually I just go jump in the new ride and go for a spin to help ease the pain.... that takes some of the sting out of it ya....

50 degrees out but not a warm fuzzy 50.... a week from tomorrow it will be 68 degrees and now that is what I am looking forward to...

eat anything you want today Guru's......

I'm ready for spring too. Changed oil and filter on 007 last weekend, so he's ready as well.

Hey guys, cold and foggy when we got up, but has cleared off now, but still chilly...and wind has started blowing. They say a chance of moisture today and tomorrow. I'll believe it when it happens.

Call from a gal to split a 3" thick fireplace mantel into 2 planks. Had to go down to the school to use the bandsaw there as mine would only handle boards 6" wide and this one, after squaring one edge, was 9" at the widest.

Ready for church and then #2 SILs' birthday, so will go over there afterwards.

Good Afternoon CGs!

Bittersweet day for you, Tommy. I'd say you'll both be happy in the end, buyer and seller.

No car sales in my future (at least that I know of).

Cool and rainy here. Garden will like the rain. Our garlic plants are already sprouting and growing. Wife is ready for planting season, I'm ready for sports car season.

Hope everyone has a great day!

FOGGY, FOGGY, FOGGY, COULD BARELY SEE HUNDRED YARDS WHEN I GOT UP, IT'S A LITTLE BETTER NOW. TWO INCHES IN THE GAUGE FROM THE LAST MONSOON CYCLE. 43 DEGREES -> 63, SPRING PROGRESSES: THE WILD ONIONS ARE SPROUTING.

CONGRATS ON SALE, TOMMY.

NOTHING ON THE AGENDA TODAY. OKMULGEE TRIP DONE, TAX RETURN IN THE WORKS. RAINED ON US, OFF AND ON, ALL THE WAY THERE AND BACK.

ALLONS, Y'ALL :-)

There is an empty space in my garage. I'm happy-sad. Glad to get a nice check. Sad to see her go. Good bye "GO BABY". Sue will soon be off to a native plant sales event. I'm gonna go to the bank.

Hey guys, Cold cloudy and DRY here. Letty, you don't like 'naders'? Move out here, we don't even get any rain.....We'd take some of the action you guys are getting.... in reality, you wouldn't like it like this either.

I prefer this one over other crypto currencies.

...I like to invest in gold silver and lead...... can never go wrong, never loses value.... several of my friends were deep into crypto and they now deep in depression..... but they say it shall rise again just like they said about the South after the Civil War.....

kinda cloudy kinda sunny but no rain.... never rains up here..... VB Phoenix is sunniest city in the country...85% sunny days..... gets a little hot... but hey, it's a dry heat.....

Lol. Back in my working days we knew a woman named Clara. You knew that if she got in on something it was time for everyone else to get out. Guess you could say she was a trailing indicator.

Market gurus say invest over time in a group of stocks like the S&P 500. Up or down, buy over time. Of course my time for investing is running out. The older you get the less you have invested at risk. Win, lose or draw I don't have a lot tied up in he market.

Good Morning CGs!

No rain here but cool, 40*. I'm ready for 60s.

Tommy, you should give financial investment advice. Just tell us what you plan on buying and I'll do the opposite.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning, storms rolling in all day and this evening they're hollering for hail and naders. Sooo sick of it. I want to live where we don't have that crap. All plants are outside except plumerias but they're under the back patio. Bout to head to the eye doc to have things put in my lower tear ducs to help with dry eyes, I have temps but these will be permanent.
I'll have to go look up the story on the monument, Tommy. People in this state would do good to improve education and get folks off welfare not worry about monuments and junk. This is the armpit of the nation I guess some of em are proud of it.
Gris keep your head down, if I'm getting these storms you should be too.

I saw a story that Arkansas wants to erect an anti abortion monument on public land. No doubt a bronze statue of General Robert E. Lee will be close by.

Shopping today plus other things. Never bored. 911 transefr to come soon. The buyer has the check in hand. Bought into 5 different stocks yesterday. Today I see they are all going down. Figures.

RAIN, RAIN GO AWAY!

THE NATIONS ARE AWASH, 50 DEGREES ON THE FRONT PORCH, GONNA RAIN ALL DAY THEY SAY. THE PREDICTED HIGH IS 63. EXPLETIVE DELETED.

WE WILL GO OVER TO OKMULGEE TODAY TO SEE THE TAX ACCOUNTANT, DROP IN ON BIG DAUGHTER & THE GIRLS. NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO AN HOUR'S DRIVE IN THE RAIN.

WHEN IT SLACKS OFF I'LL FEED THE DOG.

I WISH YOU A BETTER DAY THAN MINE---

THE DAY OF GUARDIANS:
BRITANNIA, HEIMDALL, GABRIEL

Hey guys, up and around early to try and get some things done in the shop. then spent all afternoon at the church, trying to finish up the metal siding (done) Tomorrow we will go back and put the roof metal on.

Cool start to the day, and I guess it stayed cool all day, but at least the sun came out a bit and it felt better.

Good afternoon, about 70 and overcast today, storms due tomorrow, naders and hail they say. About this time every year if my memory serves me right. Hope it clears off by noon Saturday, we have a Vette club dinner cruise. Sunday we'll be at the tax office. I'll be back in here on my off day tomorrow for some extra cash.
I also find myself in the "get off my lawn" crowd. Matt, I agree, get pic and pay the girl or just don't go. Strangely the email I saw (I'm pretty sure they didn't mean to reply to "group") was from a more well-to-do member which I thought was odd. I'm not gonna mention it when we gather, I'd rather stay out of it

....ya ye must keep putting one foot in front of da other... soon it will be all better .... right?

cloudy cold gloomy.... get this month over... geez....

in office trying to contemplate on the mystery's of soil micro biology.... and thinking about Corvettes....

Just do it Guru's

Tommy, the older I get the more I just want to mind my own business and be left alone. I feel the same way about other people. Now get off my lawn.

Matt's got it right a change. In all things ... we must move on. Plenty to do today.

Good Morning CGs!

Rain here. Should be gloomy all day.

Letty, regarding your post yesterday I'm not sure if I think it's tacky like one person said. If you can afford it, take the picture and move on. If not, just move on.

Hope everyone has a great day!

ANOTHER GLOOMY MORNING IN THE NATIONS: CLOUDY, BREEZY, 70 DEGREES ON THE FRONT PORCH. GONNA RAIN AFTER NOON, GONNA RAIN TONIGHT, GONNA RAIN TOMORROW. DISGUSTING!

SPRING IS PROGRESSING, THE SMALLER PERIWINKLE IS BLOOMING, THE REDBUDS ARE SHOWING COLOR, GRASS GETTING GREEN, BUT I EXPECT ANOTHER COLD SNAP BEFORE WINTER FINALLY DEPARTS.

In other news: Camaro is gone

I really don't get the hard EV pushing. I mean, theres' no chargers, I live in a town of 70k an I think we have one? None in rural areas. You can't travel backroads or cross country you'll get stranded. To be rescued by a truck with a gas generator on the back of it? Of course, the govt dont' want you traveling, they want you close to home so you have to rely on their handouts and turn this into a communist nation keeping a leash on you. and when your bill goes up to upscale gris and meet demand then what? sorry, just a rant that hit me

Went for a delivery 120 miles away. Long day but the money was good.

Good afternoon, overcast today but a high of 71 I'm told. I pulled some plants out of the house and put on the back patio, Arron will drag some out of the pool house at noon. Thus starts the outside spring cleaning. Have Vette stuff going all weeked, not sure I'll go to any of it, dinner cruise a couple hours away Saturday (when I need to work in the yard) and another run an hour away in the evening coupled with a 'photo shoot' night scene for everyone Sunday. Girl taking pics is a new club member (not professional photog) and she’s charging $25 each and will provide digitals to each person. Now, I have a sensitive question, club etiquette I guess? So far I plan to attend and get my picture too but did see an email about the $ for it and low interest due to it. I'm mixed. Most of us do in kind stuff for other members when we can, or discounts. I like to support someone’ side hustle as I like my own supported too. And, I did this same thing for a bunch of us while on a fall trip. I took my good camera, took everyone’s photo with their car at that park, (look up Maplewood Cemetery Arkansas), retouched images, adjusted, sent digitals and gave prints to everyone 8x10. No fee. I saw it as a way to contribute to my fellow members. But, it wasn’t my side hustle and I could afford it. I have no issues paying her as I know what it entails and she’s not near as well off as some others are. However, I did see an email in the thread today that someone thought it was tacky. What are y’all thoughts? I kinda want to speak up then I also feel I need to keep my head down, and not start mess, go get my picture took (if we are able to go), pay her and go on about my own business .

.... sunshine blue skies....53 today but breezy so it won't feel like it....

back at work at my desk.... today I am writing a paper on soil biological activity which will include some info on Fungi.... be happy to send it to you if your are so inclined...

take some well deserved breaks today to just look around and be thankful Guru's.
