Good morning Guru's. Couldn't sleep so I thought I would kick things off. Speaking of kick off's my son's team had a 74 to 18 beat down last night by a top ten ranked team in the State. It was hard to watch. Ultraboy is only a sophmore so did not get a lot of playing time which may be a blessing. It was hard to find anything positive to say to him. He did have a couple of good tackles when he did get in so I focused on that. Tough lessons!

There is a car show here today and of course the weather may be crummy. I thought I would put the 90 in it. I cleaned up the engine bay as best I could. It all looks good except those valve covers. I am putting new ones on this winter so am not going to worry about it.

You guys have a nice weekend! The Huskers will be playing at Washington this afternoon so we will see what we got.

Warbirds, nice! I have always loved those old airplanes. What is cooler than a radial engine? Thanks for sharing!

I can afford a C4, it's the C6's I'm having trouble with! Is there a program for that?

I agree that the Tea Party bunch can be branded radicals if they are not careful. If they split the party then it does not do anybody any good. I remember a time when the republicans had the house, senate and the presidency. Eight years later here we are. Reform from the same old thing may need some radicals!

I see that a woman backed by Tea Party folks beat someone in a shocker in Delaware I think. People are more pissed off then we think. Of course most of those people live in flyover country that have few votes at election time. It's the east and west coasts, AFL-CIO States and States with a lot of welfare recipiants that will make the call in the end.

Matt, thanks for the recipe. How did you know it was my night to cook? I am always looking for something different. When the human eating machine gets home from football practice I need something filling and ready. Pasta is always acceptable at our place.

Congrats on your anniversary, tell her the baby will be your present this year. She will go, awww that is so sweet and give you a kiss and then you will be in good for awhile. I have been married 28 years I know stuff! Gift card to nail place is good!

I am going out to chop down a big scotch pine that died in our tree line this year. We lost one last year and now this one. They will all be gone soon due to an insect that does something to them. Tree line protects the house on north side and is 20 years old. Nuts!

Let's get out there and kick some ass and take some names today Guru's.

Matt, I remember days when the babies were arriving and money was tight and job stuff was not good. It was tough but my family was depending on me and that is what got me out of bed each morning. Then I would watch cartoons while eating breakfast. Was anything better than Rocky and Bullwinkle? When it seems overwhelming remember you got to eat the elephant one bite at a time. Do what you can do don't look to far ahead or back, concentrate on a day by day basis. Things will work out! We are all in the same boat. Except Tommy, he has his own boat!

Staying in today to work on office stuff. Rained last night. I am cleaning up the Vette for a local car show this weekend. Everyone have a safe day!

I was always wondering, What's the point? It's a common fact that if you reduce the weight of a vehicle it will perform better. Is it that hard to come up with story lines.

It all comes into focus when stuff like that happens Tommy.
I hope that your sister will be ok!

Matt, that sounds like a good day to me.

I got up and went to a men's group meeting at church this morning at 6 am. It was good and helped a guy change a tire on his truck after. I got to thinking that that was something of a rarity these days, changing a tire. Seems like we were always getting the jack out in the old days. Now it took us 10 minuts just to find all the parts to the jack to get started.

Everybody enjoy your day!

If we are buying oversized runners and base why do we need to keep hogging them out?

Yeah, I got to thinking after he was so suprised to see me if he even remembered calling me. He is a good guy and has taken good care of Ma. My Dad was killed in 88 in the wreck of his Cessna aircraft and my Mom was at her 50th reunion in 91 when she came across an old flame and they turned it into a new flame. He's the only grandpa my kids have ever known.

They made them in Mexico I think.

Good Morning! Long weekend started on Friday morning when my 87 year old step dad called and said that my mother had kicked him out of the house and he didn't know what to do. Here we go! So I cancelled some meetings and headed for Kansas to see what was the problem. Got there and listened to both sides and then told them to grow up for heavens sake! Honestly! My Mom who is 87 also can be a real piece of work on occasion so we had to work through things and I hope got it worked out. Way to much drama for me! No matter how old you get you still have to live with each other and be nice.

So I then rushed back to see Ultraboy start at center for our varsity football game Friday night and on his first shotgun snap he hiked it over the head of the QB. The other team recovered and drove the field for a touchdown. The other team went on to beat us like a drum. Nuts! He had a little adrenaline going on I'm thinking. He is only a sophmore and he settled down after that happend.

Saturday to the Husker game and left early because we were not having any problems with Idaho U. Went to Famous Dave's then home to rest.

Congrats Tommy on having the worst weather, I think you guys took that away from Huston this year.
Wow Brad, that looks like fun! Nothing like a good nut feed!
Weather is always perfect in Huskerland.
Word for the day is Vigilance, I don't know why, 9-11 maybe.
Encourage someone today, it's tough out there!

Does it help to put the base on and the larger runners without doing anything to the plenum? I am thinking of doing this to my 90 this winter.

On the Vette I go every season. So I will change it in late November and be ready for spring. I use Mobil 1. My other cars I go about 5000 between changes. The GM vehicles have the oil change service feature and I usually go when it hits 50%.

Back in the day I changed every 2000 then went to 3000 and now 5K. More than that and I get to feeling bad about it.

Hmmmm, sounds like smoke and mirrors to me. I think in a lot of the big companies and our government it all looks good as long as you have a fresh supply of money coming in every day. When that dries up you have to get creative or just print more money or borrow from the Chinese.

Went out for chinese food last night (thursday night tradition at our house) also my night to cook so I kinda made up the tradition to keep from having to cook.

I was sitting at a stoplight headed home in the Vette when a State Patrol pulled up behind me. I took off easy and got about a 100 yards when the lights came on. I pulled over and got everything out and the nice lady patrolman told me my plates had expired. Duh, I guess we have to get our plates renewed every year here, go figure! Also my insurance card was out of date. She was nice and only gave me fixit tickets but I saw her ogling my car and me also I'm sure. That's what my wife thinks. So today I am getting those things fixed.

Go Vikings! We have what's called a mulberry tree here that has purple fruit and the birds eat them and it is not pretty what they do to the cars. Go gettum Guru's

I can't hardly get him into the C4 anymore! He's 6'4, 250! We can still get him into the Tahoe though.

Matt, it takes a real man to watch a chick flick! The last chick flick I watched was Iron Man 2. I made it through without getting emotional. Ok, maybe a bit at the end of the movie.

Rainy and cool here today, got a new alternator for the 90 and will install. Working mostly in the office with billing and such. Went to my sons football game last night and they pulled it out 18 to 16 with a great goal line stand on defense. He was feeling good, good enough to eat $19 dollars worth of McDonalds after the game! We used to feed the whole family for that.

Have a safe day Guru's!

I'm having a hard time getting going this morning. I think I'm in rebellion to anything that isn't fun or easy. Nice here today! Went to the Husker game saturday and had a good time. We won easy and it was a perfect night for football. It's a hassel to drive in and fight the crowds but when our freshman quarterback runs in 46 yards on the 3rd play of scrimmage and me and Ultraboy are going wild, it's priceless! Ok, Guru's let's get fired up out there, there is money to make. Have a good time today!

Bill = LOL

Took the Vette to church this morning. It has an alternator going out so is making a growl up front. Still charging but I supposed that will end soon. Got one ordered but was suprised that no one had one on hand. What do you mean you don't have a 90 Vette alternater? Why not?

Other than that I am just hanging out. I did get GT's Dirty Dozen CD the other day but have not listened to it yet. Have some fun, you guys deserve it.

Brad, I am glad it wasn't any worse. I had a deer run into the side of my car once. I couldn't believe it. Did some damage. I always worry about deer when I am on my motorcycle. Sometimes you don't survive those encounters.
We have some Smartcars running around town now, and I'm thinking I wouldn't want a raccoon to run into me in one of those. What, do they just bury you in those things? Saves money on a casket I quess.

I am taking today and the rest of the weekend off from work. I will be at work around the house mowing and cleaning up, they don't call it labor day for nothing. Ultraboy has an away game tonight and we hope it goes better than last week. (49 to 7) Yikes!

Weather is beautiful will have to do some driving in the 90. Have a great weekend Guru's! Try a random act of kindness on someone!

The Volunteers are going through what the Huskers did a few years back. It was to bad Kiffen left when things were starting to turn around. Although I think he is overated. We will see how he does out in LA LA land. There is nothing fancy about Pellini but Bo knows football! Plus he is from Ohio and played in the Big 10. Good Luck to your Vols Trae!

Gee, someone who is real smart has come up with an idea that there is no God, how unusual. The daily miracales that I see remind me that this isn't some big accident. My Dad was a scientist with more degrees than a thermometer, but he saw the total awsomness and wonder of the order that God installed into His creation. It compelled him to keep trying to unlock the science and building blocks that have been put in place to give God's best creation a place to live.

We have barely scratched the surface of what is out there.

I'm glad the Big 10 added the Cornhuskers. In order for the Big 10 to become competitive again and regain the "glory days" they had to do this. Nebraska has always been tough and brings to the table a refreshing aggressive passing game that we are lacking in the Big Ten. As a Purdue grad I was getting a litttle burned out at the same defense and offensive strategies. Nebraska,Texas,Oklahama excellent outside running...opps this doesn't sound very feminine does it! I was a cheerleader once and prom queen. Erin


Atta girl! It is going to be wild to see Ohio State in our house and Michigan also. Is Purdue in the Big 10? I think I have heard of them.

The Big Ten announced the two divisions for the Big 10 (12) that will start in 2011. Since Nebraska came on board things had to change. The Huskers first season will include games with Wisconsin, Ohio State, Minnesota, Michigan State, Northwestern, Penn State, Michigan and over Thanksgiving we will play Iowa. We are not in Kansas anymore Dorthy! Holy cow! It's either the road to distruction or the path to a National Championship.

We take our Huskers seriously out here, what else is there except the price of corn. This is a big deal, the coffee shops are buzzing and the farmers are buzzing anticipating a big crop,and Husker football. It's the Good Life here in flyover country.

We do have some unfinished business. Texas who we beat in the Big 12 title game (until they added a second on the clock) Will be in our house on Oct. 16. It's a Red out game and tickets are already going for as high as $2500. My wife says for that much she would sell ours........... Naaaa!

Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Usually people are in the depths of depression. I've known several people personally that have taken their lives or attempted suicide for various reasons. It often leaves you to wonder. I'm not going to be able to do everything I want to do before my final day comes. There just wont be enough time, money or health. Sorry to hear of this terrible loss.



Truthfully we probably all have had those moments where the shit has hit the fan and we feel lower than snake snot. But somehow we seem to emerge from our crap stronger. I had two cousins pull the plug on themselves because they didn't want to go to Vietnam, weeks later during the military draft their numbers were 285 and 310. No way they would have gone. Like Tommy said permanent solution to a short term problem.



I have always heard that if the person had waited 2 weeks it all might have looked different. What it shows me is the quiet desperation that a lot of folks live with. You gotta talk to someone. Friend, spouse, pastor, bartender, counselor, anyone that can encourage you to get the real help you need. It is a very selfish thing. I'm sorry your family is having to go through it Tom.

It is interesting the amount of knowledge that I obtain on this forum. Some of it even Corvette related. Trouser chilli??? LOL! Dawn, Dawn, Dawn, I wonder where you ever ended up?

Have not a lot of plans for the weekend other to lay up and catch up on sleep. The rain the last couple of days has brought the 2010 crop campaign to an end. Now we wait for harvest and then the circle of life starts all over again in November with seed sales.

I think the odd noise in the engine bay on my 90 is the air pump gone bad so I am going to take it off and install an eliminator kit. Hope that's what it is. Have a good day Guru's! Keep your powder dry, pilgrims!

He already is a big boy! If he keeps growing K-State will be showing up to check him out. Maybe even the Huskers! My son is 16 and close to 6'4" and 250, he is a sophmore this year. Eats like a horse! Its no wonder I can't have a ZO6.

Cloudy here but no rain, which we could use. Have to go to the bank this morning they are not wanting to increase my line of credit on my business unless I sign my equity in my house over to them. How do you politely say, not no, but hell no. I did tell them there are other banks in town. I have been with these guys for 20 years and never missed yet. I will try to be nice. Times have changed.

Brad I like your new avatar. Somewhere in the Badlands I'm thinking. Let's go get um Guru's.

I guess if you can swing a new ZO6 or ZR1, whats another 6 grand. If the engine had trouble down the road you would have to blame yourself. Chevy would be like, "I don't know man you built it".

My 90 recommends Premium fuel which is usually 91 Octane. I just got my Car and Driver magazine and in their Backfires section someone asked if a Porsche that had a 93 octane requirement was using that when they did the tests. C & D answered that in California all they could get was 91 octane and ran all their car performance test on that. They realize that the spark will be more retarded and the power down but that is the fuel they are stuck with.

They go on to say that they ran a Bently Continental GTC Speed on 91 octane and ran 4.8 to 60 mph and 13.4 in the 1/4 mile. With 93 octane the same car ran 4.3 to 60 and 12.8 in the 1/4 mile with that fuel. From 13.4 to 12.8 is huge it think with only that as the difference.

I think I will try a few tanks of 89 to see how it works for me. I was just going off of what Chevy was recommending for my engine. My Harley is fuel injected and the Motor co. has said that it is ok to run E10 which I have always done and never had a problem with it. Carbs are a different story especially the older ones. O rings seals and whatever else it will eat will give you fits.

I have heard the alcohol has a cooling effect on the intake and engine. Has anyone else heard that. I know that E85 is used for a racing fuel, but the car has to be set up for it.
