Good Afternoon CGs!
Weather is starting to slowly get warmer. Should hit 70 tomorrow. I'd say that's convertible weather. Tommy, I bet she needs a muffler more than a filter. Hope everyone has a great day!

Good Morning CGs!
A few degrees warmer this morning but nothing earth shattering. Should be a little nicer the next few days, as well. Good luck with everything, Letty. Keep us posted. Hope everyone has a great day!

40* and rain all day. Unfortunately couldn't drive the Camaro after all the hard work. Oh well. Should warm up a bit this week, though. Marcus - probably not the best solution but they make a gas tank putty that fills pinholes and small holes. It might be a temporary solution for your issue. Hope everyone had a great day!

Good Morning CGs!
We'll I had to look up Walpurgis. Too cold here for bonfires tonight. Weather here is crappy again this week. Worked on the Camaro last night, had to resecure the rear glass to the outer canvas top. I watched some YouTube videos, bought the special clamps on Amazon, and got the glue locally. Relatively easy process and turned out great. Should hold for many years to come. Hope everyone has a great day!

Good Morning CGs!
Spent the afternoon working on the Camaro. Changed the radiator hoses, heater core hoses, and moved around the power steering hoses which requires some light modifications. Overall the job was horrible and took way too long. Very tight working conditions under the hood and my hands and forearms have the battle scars to prove it. But it's done and refilled and ready to drive. Priced out those Corvette tires and I was low on my estimate...more in the $1500-1600 range. Sheesh. You gotta pay to play, I guess. How's the new barn cat working out, Gris? Hope everyone has a great day!

Car is at the shop for performance trans, stall, torque tube, and new tune.
Corvette needs 4 tires...that should run about $1200. Accord needs 4 tires, that's about $700. Wife's passport needs 4 tires, that's about $1000. More cars more problems?

Good Morning CGs!
Taking the Corvette to the speed shop today so they can get started on it. No ETA on return date but shouldn't take too long hopefully. Looks like I need some tires on the Corvette soon. Too much power and not enough traction. That will be a hard pill to swallow cost wise. Maybe I need to hit the casino and borrow some of Tommy's luck. Hope everyone has a great day!

Good Morning CGs!
The weather has turned here over the past few days. Cold and dreary. We had snow again on Saturday and might see it again tomorrow. It's the end of April.... ugh. Don't worry, Tommy will be along shortly to complain about how hot it is in Florida. Marcus, I wouldn't worry about the red straw. Like you said, it will either sit in the bottom or get chewed up a bit. It won't pose any hazard. Hope everyone has a great day!

It's true Marcus, cars and tools are my weakness.
Mix of rain, sun, and hail today. Weird combo. Hope everyone has a great day!

Good Afternoon CGs!
Had some running around to do this morning. Picked up a new computer monitor since the old one fried during a power surge the other day. While I was out I saw a Matco truck and felt compelled to talk to the guy. Walked off with a new set of drill bits I've been wanting for a while...and 20% off list to boot. Time to pick up the kiddos shortly. Hope everyone has a great day!

Brakes are done. No issues except a frozen rotor screw (common on Hondas). Snap-on air hammer and a few brap braps took care of that. Sometimes I use my tools instead of just polishing them. Right as I finished the skies opened back up and poured down.
Cost-wise the bank account is still ok. I could have turned the rotors and gotten new pads but it's $25/rotor to turn them now. Used to be $12. Go figure. New rotors were $24.17 each. I think total cost was just under $100 shipped from RA.

Had some pretty good thunderstorms last night. Dog wasn't a big fan of it. I saw them when they started around 7 pm but slept through them during the overnight hours. It's a little wet outside now but not terribly cold. Might get the rear brakes on the Honda done today. We'll see where adventure leads us. Hope everyone has a great day!

The better fix is getting rid of DST altogether. What a ridiculous concept.

Good Morning CGs!
The headlight repair on the Corvette seems to be working so far. Only time will tell. Got a chance to drive both the Corvette and the Trans Am yesterday. That's a good day in my book. Trans Am still makes me smile. Sort of makes me wish that the Corvette was a 6 speed as well. But that's not how it is. Speed shop said I should be able to drop the Corvette off next week. They were waiting for the torque converter to ship which is supposedly Monday (5 weeks after they ordered it). I'm sure it will feel like a totally different car. Tommy, hope the pig feels better. Hope everyone has a great day!

Good Evening CGs!
If you can believe it we had snow this morning. Actual white snow that stuck to cars and the ground and blew through the air. Unreal. It was 89* a couple of days ago. Should warm up this week and then cold again next week. Not sure what's going on but I don't like it. Had a bad day with the Corvette in Saturday. Driving home I hit a pothole and the headlight looked like it popped. Nope, the rattle broke the mounting legs for the projector light and it fell out of focus. I took that apart on Sunday and luckily it looks like some two part epoxy was the fix. I guess time will tell. Hope everyone had a great day!

Another lovely day here. Driving the Corvette makes you forget your troubles. TB, sorry to hear about your FIL but glad the shoulders are feeling better. VB, don't let them bring you down. Hope everyone has a great day!

Great day here weather-wise, should be 80 this afternoon. Drove the Corvette to work. Still haven't gotten word yet on when to drop it off. Drove the TA yesterday which was a nice treat. Hope to work on the Camaro a little later. Hope everyone has a great day!

Good Morning CGs!
Hope everyone had a nice Easter. Ours was good, spent time with the family and ate way too much. Weather was beautiful yesterday and I took the Corvette out for the first voyage of the season. Ran flawlessly so I was happy. Did the spark plugs in the Accord yesterday with the assistance of RR#2. He was semi interested. Trying to get him interested in something other than video games. Should be another nice day here. Hope everyone has a great day!

Another cool start to the day, hopefully will warm up a little bit later. Sun is out and I don't think there is any rain predicted. Ordered parts for the Accord. I think those should arrive today. Maybe I'll find time in the next couple of days to get the plugs swapped out. Hope everyone has a great day!

Cold here. They are saying it will warm up next week. I think Bud shot themselves in the foot. Look at your audience. Remember when the Dixie Chicks made comments about Bush? That's didn't work out too well for them. Hope everyone had a great day!

Wacky weather here. Rainstorms overnight and all morning. Was 70* at 7 am and has cooled off throughout the day. Will be cool the rest of the week and hopefully warm up next week. I've been looking for motivation to work on the cars but haven't found any yet. I did notice today that I have a vibration on the Accord, seems like a wheel bearing or CV axle. Guess I better check that out sooner rather than later. Mom's car is all fixed up with a new set of injectors. Luckily they are able to source a set, seems they are on backorder. Hope everyone had a great day!

Hard go believe we've already started creeping into April. Very nice of you to help out like that, Letty. We had more rain today but not as bad as last week. A few counties over they had tennis ball sized hail according to weather reports. That'll give you a bad day if you get caught in it. Gonna sit down with the kids and watch a movie. Hope everyone had a great day!

Tires must be the topic of the week, TB. I mentioned I checked out my uncle's and found they were worn with a broken belt so he got those replaced. I swapped the winter tires on the daily yesterday and put the all seasons back on. Gave the brakes a once over and the rears are around 50%. I'm going to change them anyway because the rust on the rotors is squeaking and driving me nuts. Funny how they rust out faster than they wear out up here. Hope everyone has a great day!

Double birthday day...mom and BIL. Did lunch at the local golf course with mom and over at BIL's now for dinner. Tommy, the picture looks really good. Great shot for when you put the house up for sale this month. Cars first, goose second.... right? TB - glad you made a new friend there. If he's interested in joining the page I'll add him manually. Hope everyone has a great day!

Had a couple of days of nasty storms. We didn't have damage here but they had baseball sized hail not too far away. It was 70* on Friday and it's 40* today. Not fair. Should be in the 60s this week with a lot of rain. Uncle had a vibration complaint on his Chevy Cruze so he brought it by today. I told him it was 99% a tire issue and I found the tire unevenly worn with a broken belt. Time for new ones. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Regardless of the cause of the shooting in TN it's a tragic event for everyone involved. And some heroic action by the police officers involved. RR#1 was I'm a bad mood last night. A trip in the Camaro fixed that. Hope everyone had a great day!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

Should have another nice day in the low 50s. Of course they are calling for rain the rest of the week and then threatening us with snow next week. I doubt it would anything substantial but we're supposed to be over that nasty white stuff already. Have a few days off coming up. Hopefully I can tinker in the garage a bit. Still waiting to hear back on the Corvette. Probably drop that off in the next two weeks depending on how busy the shop is. Speaking of that our friend Rick (forum member) told me yesterday about a friend of his who had his Corvette totalled by a speed shop on a "test drive." Ouch. Hope everyone has a great day!

Weather cooperated today and we saw around 55* with sun. Got home and had to run to the post office so I pulled the Camaro out of the garage and drove over there. The tires certainly felt out of round. Hopefully they true up a bit with some more miles. Marcus sounds like you've got some friends in high places! Hope everyone had a great day.

Cold here the last couple of days. Rumor is we should hit 50 this week. That would be nice. Speaking of brisket, TB, we went out for dinner tonight to a bbq joint and the brisket was excellent. I'm still in my diet, just needed a little cheat day because I've been super strict and hit a plateau. Sometimes a little extra helps kick start things again. Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Good Afternoon CGs!
Speaking of weight, my diet is still going well. Down about 7-8 lbs this month. That's half of my goal. Just cut out all of the extras, no snacks, no alcohol, no junk food. Today is rainy and dreary. Yesterday was much nicer, had a chance to tinker with the Camaro. Got the bumper inset blacked out with plastidip so I could install the billet grille. Turned out nice. Hope everyone has a great day!

Good Morning CGs!
Sorry to hear about your FIL, TB. It's a tough spot to be in. Another cool day here. We have a small surprise party this afternoon for my MIL. Hosting it at our house with a mix of homemade food and catering. Guess it's a cheat day for my diet. Hope everyone has a great day!

Good Evening CGs!
Had a long day. Finally sitting down to relax for an hour before bed. Snowed a little today but nothing stuck to the ground. Still cold. Looking forward to spring. Talked to the shop owner about the Corvette yesterday. I'll be dropping off the deposit next week. Hope everyone had a great day!

Cooled off here. They are threatening snow. Seems like we have some freezing rain now. Hopefully the commute isn't too bad in the morning. Hope everyone had a great day!

Good Afternoon CGs!
Done with work for the day. I have to teach classes tonight so that will take me into the late evening. A couple of the young black belts have a points test today that doesn't start until 8:00. Glad the car sales are looking good, tommy. Marcus I don't understand how any business can survive in these Ultra liberal climates. You're basically telling people to commit crime because it's okay. I hope they close every business in portland. It's just unfortunate for the good people that live there.

Good Evening CGs!
Been busy here. Never a dull moment with the wife, kids, and a dog. Found a performance shop local to me to work on the Corvette. I've been putting off rebuilding the transmission and torque tube because it's a fair amount of work that I don't want to do (and expensive). Guy worked up a quote for me so looks like I'm going forward with that soon (still expensive). Tommy, how are the car repairs/sales coming along? Hope everyone has a great day!

Good Evening CGs!
Spent the day at the Chicago autorama. Saw some nice cars. A few friends had cars in the show so I mingled a bit. Had a good time. Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Good Afternoon CGs!
Cold here. Snow hasn't started yet, supposed to be this afternoon for us. Had parent / teacher conferences this morning for RR#1. All glowing reviews as usual. They should see her at home... Speaking of RR#1 I just signed her up for driver's Ed classes to begin next month. Time flies. Hope everyone has a great day!

Good Morning CGs!
Sorry I was mia. I was out of town for a few days and no adjusting to a new work schedule. It was 58* yesterday and beautiful. Today 40* and tomorrow 6-10" of snow? Doesn't seem right. Gris, happy belated birthday to the wife. Tommy, 91 running issue doesn't sound like vats. That's almost exclusively a starting issue. More likely ignition (ICM) or fuel pressure (pump). Hope everyone has a great day!

Good Morning CGs!
We had quite a bit of rain yesterday but no snow. Should stay in the 40s today. Hopefully it's warm enough to dry out before it gets colder tomorrow. New car parts should be here today. Look forward to checking them out. Spring is around the corner, right??? Hope everyone has a great day!

Not warm here but raining all day long. That's ok, wash that salt away.
Got a new billet grille for the Camaro. I installed it but need to take it off and plastidip the bumper underneath for a better visual look. VB, sounds like you need to fire that customer.
