Good morning, all.

I'm slow this morning - I got to work just on time (I like to be early).

I really need to start working on the 'Vettes, but I haven't gotten up the gumption. I'm beginning to realize that the carnage with the NCRS last July took away a lot of my motivation, especially with the 1985 ...

Congratulations, Don - I know it's a lot of work. The wife and I are on a break from heavy club participation, but we'll be diving back in at some point.

Ferrari picked it up for the 599 in 2007. So, GM is telling kind of telling the truth ...

So, I was rooting thru the shop, found a hood and a door.


My wife says sell it and make some money!

Good afternoon, all.

Slept in this morning but I did finally get up and run.

Christmas dinner was a big success - nothing like Tommy's, but still 13 hungry people who went home full (and with leftovers).

Good morning, all!

Working from home today - my general contracter is visiting (John Porter, for those who know him). Nothing serious, just little stuff.

The University is dead - our dorm was at 3% occupancy yesterday: even our international students can go home for winter break. Time to clean up some web pages and send some emails.

Good morning, all. Got back from California on Friday night. Slept in until noon on Ssturday - I was more exhausted than I knew. Had a late lunch with a protege of mine and his fiance on Saturday afternoon and then just the wife and I hit our favorite high class bar.

So, I got just about nothing done on Saturday ...

... back to work today!

The thing is ...

... in Europe the Corvette is an exotic car. Base price for a C6 coupe in England is about $97,700 - but you do have to remember that all cars cost significantly more over there.

Sigh ...

... brand new Michelins (couple of a hundred miles ) took a nail in the driver's side rear while Ivelis was driving Louis up to see her BFF (who is also a crazy Corvette person). They plugged it at the local Sunoco, but of course I want to see it and make sure everything is okay.

Happy Thanksgiving, all!

Ivelis and I worked out this morning (she did spinning and I did running), so we'll feel a little better about the eating later.

Soon, it's off to pick up the parents and take them off to my sister's house in (beautiful downtown ) Kutztown.
