Hi there Guru's...... just hanging out.... nice day...not very ambitious...... thinking about getting some late lunch.... or just sit here...... hmmmmm.....

good poem Tee...... had to get one of those T-shirts Tommy...very cool.....

wow...congrats on the big 8 0.... you don't look a day over 79.... may you live long and prosper...

up at the crack of 9 and walked right into the trap as my bride handed me a list.... nooooo not the list.... I wanna do fun stuff today.... geez....

see ya later Guru's

very nice right now but the other shoe will drop at around 3 o'clock when strong winds come in from the Northwest.... 40 mph straight wind with 60 to 70 mph gusts...... time to hunker down I'm thinking..... better put in the garbage cans or they will be in the next county...

don't believe everything you hear Guru's...... just saying.... especially from the news media......

...feeling bad for you Tommy T........... Not!

Sunny and windy should get into the 40's..... just doing my thing..... I need a project.... the shop is all cleaned up the tools in place.... I need to do a few things to the 56 but most of those require an upholsterer... Bikes are done....... hmmm.... better call my Cuz up in Big Sky and see if he is ready to sell his C5 yet...... that would be a nice project....

I was in 8th grade woodworking making a lamp on the lathe when the kid behind me who was making a bowl cut to deep and the rim of the bowl came off the base and flew apart....missed me by inches but hit my machine..... Mr. Greenough our shop teacher was not pleased....I remember him paddling kids who misbehaved with one of his famous hardwood paddles with the holes drilled in it so no air pressure would build up on the downswing..... I was perfect of course and never got in trouble.... we still use my projects to this day in the house..... the breadboards and the big fruit bowl I made for my Mom and now we have them. The fruit bowl is filled with snacks... I love a good snack......

Keep it up Guru's

....so VB.... where is the car at? If it is anywhere near can't you go there and take a high pixel digital camera and take pics of it that you can blow up? just thinking out loud....

I remember cars like that sitting on the showroom floors for months because everyone thought they were ugly.....wish I had a couple of them now ya.....

Morning all.....clear and cold up here in corn country.... as long as the sun shines I'm good wid it...... me and office dog are hanging out working on doing some writing for the sales staff.... gotta keep them educated you know.... started out at a page and a half and now up to like 12 pages.... it is hard to hold all this brilliance in......

Keep doing whatever Guru's.....

tis snowing as I look out the window..... won't amount to much I hear.... cold and windy though.... good day for soup.... I am working away in the office which is warm and I'm sharing my space with a 56 Wagon and 2 motorcycles..... it's a great office... someday will have another Corvette in it also hopefully....

It is what it is Guru's

Yep..... he can thank Brandon for that ya...... speaking of back at work.... I am.....

So Matt....where you keeping all these cars?.... I am out of space for the time being.... hope they are not sitting outside...... or your bride's car.... that would never be good.....

went with my bride up to see here mother at the old folks home in a village to the north. She is 93 and does not recognize anyone anymore..... but she will chat with you or doze in the chair while we talk around the table. the facility is nice and the help was efficient also..... that is rare these days.... but I am sure it is you get what you pay for.....

gotta go..... live large and in charge Guru's

Hmmmmm.....can't fathom its the Season to be Jolly.... new rules on the home front.... limit on presents this year is $30 bucks per person and that will be in gift cards of each person's choice. Number 2 rule is basically no limit on Grandkids presents.....

So what color of C8 you gonna get Tommy..... tell all here...

that sounds like a good plan Tommy...... maybe the best Corvette ever made and they have made some good ones... most of the big dealers are selling at MSRP..... I would not pay more for one...... I hear its a 2 year waiting list though..... hope not.....

...hmmmm.... Buttermilk pie..... I'm really into pies right now.....don't know what a buttermilk pie is but sounds like I should have one..... the hoards have left and the house is once again quiet.... the fact of having the baby here was a lot of fun..... politics were checked at the door along with the firearms.....

Huskers with a big win over Iowa yesterday.... should ruin Iowas chances to go to the Big 10 Championship game..... haahahah...they so deserve getting beat...... got a new coach coming.... have a fine day of finishing off the pie Guru's

food coma starting to wear off some..... lots of pie left so will have to induce another coma..... all the fam gone back to their worlds..... better start gearing up for Christmas Guru's.....

happy Thanksgiving mi amigos.... enjoy hanging out wid ya... eat much and laugh out loud often..... the clan has gathered..... I have hid the good stuff and put out the cheap whiskey......

got the Nebraska family coming over for the feed.... I also have been given a list and the look that says do not say a word just do it....... yes ma'am..... Im on it.....

Have a fine day with your fams and eat all you want... Enjoy!

...what is an MCM?

hey now..... I'm back from the land of strangeness.... that would be the Pacific Northwest..... went up to celebrate granddaughters 1st b-day...... jumped on the silver bird and 3 hours later was in LaLa land...... the weather up there was perfect clear and in the low 50's.... they don't have winter like we do out here on the frozen tundra... it's a strange place but beautiful... never saw one cop and wonder if they all stay in the cop shop until someone calls needing them..... weird....

back at it and have to do the floors before the rest of the fam shows up for the giving of thanks.....

I'm thankful for all yous guys also....... stay strong my brothers and sisters.......

been at meetings the last couple of days..... heading out for the weekend so see ya when we get back on Tuesday.... keep trying to figure things out Guru's.....

....had some snow flurries here early now I see the sun is shining..... cold though..... put some Howes diesel treat in the Duramax just to make sure we don't have any fuel problems. Will go to a blended fuel later on in the deepest darkest part of the winter..... geez looking real forward to dat..... not....

Tommy toys are useless if you don't play wid dem...... can't take them with you..... I heard that somewhere.....

I hear you on how long it takes to count votes Grisman..... what amazes me is the split on politics in this country is right down the middle..... but soon there will be more on the dole then those making the dole...... but it won't matter because they will just print more money as it gets more and more worthless....... I have spoken.....

Keep the faith Guru's

Hope you be driving the pickup and not the Caddy Tee....

No snow here and partly cloudy... nothing coming up bad weather wise that I can see here in the flatlands.... everything is fine real fine..... nothing to see here...kinda boring....

let us rejoice in the day Guru's......

Yikes that gal was lucky to get out of there alive if Sue would have caught wind of her shenanigans.... it could have got real western in there.....

Clear and cold now with an east wind blowing.....31 degrees.... helping my bride do stuff today... she has a list.... OMG..... send help someone......

try to think positive in these trying times Guru's.....

...were you talking the 1970's Matt..... big bottom bell jeans and big block Chevy's..... yeah, me too.....

trouble in the greenhouse.... heating system is not keeping up.... full on it's only getting to 40 degrees at night.... that will keep plants alive but I wanted 50 degrees....outside temps are like 15 degrees.... back to the drawing board...

not much planned today.... got everything cleaned up and ready for winter just in time.... let's just get it over with....

time to split wood Guru's.....

...Big John we had sent out the dogs to try and find you....we were going to pay the ransom but won't now that you have resurfaced.....hope all is well....

Wow I wonder where all those guys are and what they are driving now..... 2008 is a long ways back...... interesting....

....thanks to all the Vets here and everywhere... can't thank you enough.....

...having a good day so far.... got all the last minute stuff done yesterday as I put Sta-Bil in everything that will sit for the winter.... all hoses put away the snowblower is primed and in the ready one position in the mow shed.... the shop is as clean as it has been in a long time.... and now houses the Honda 4 trax that we use for acreage work...... ok...bring it on..... hell I miss warm weather already....

Thanksgiving is coming up...... I am thankful but cannot understand that millions of people like very high food prices and high gas prices and runaway inflation, high taxes...401K's in the toilet..... what am I missing here? I guess the majority of folks don't car because they are too rich or too poor for it to matter...... that leaves the middle class right in the crosshairs...... as usual.... nuts!

...WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN BY THAT ANDY???

Tommy is that storm headed your way..... hope not..... get a bunch of plywood.....

Well we elected a Republican Gov........ and S. Dak reelected Kristi Noem as Gov...... I would vote for her for President...she is great.... rides a Harley....

So I see back east they like the way things are..... weird....

may hit 80 today and then the bottom drops out.... better do some last minute stuff..... have a day to remember Guru's

....how bout it VB...you got a copy on the ole Ultraman come back...... Nice ride! always liked those Rovers.... they have a dealer in Omaha.... My bride likes them also..... love that color.... always wondered how they rode.....

Gotta go get a haircut...... more later.....

Yeah the Trumpster can get the country back on its feet but he is to polarized to run again.... to much damage has been done by the socialists and he has not helped his own cause.... He's a hard core New York businessman ..... I guess that is how you gotta be.

I'm all in for DeSantos...... Much more palatable to Joe public and he will help carry the Tex-Mex vote.... and his track record in the Sunshine State says it all..... Trump will have more power bringing his Trumpers along on the DeSantos ticket........ hell I know how to do this why don't they listen to me.....

Thanks for clarifying those terms Gris..... we have to keep up wid da new terms for the same old chit.....

Nice here today but the other shoe is going to drop at the end of the week I'm hearing.....Friday is a high in the low 30's and then the same for the rest of next week..... bring it I say...

I see Elon Musk is saying vote Republican and so we must....

start packing in the firewood Guru's.....the winter cometh...

yeah Gris..... that should cover it....

nice day here so running the lawn sprinklers..... trying to stay ahead we are looking at a dry winter I'm thinking.

I am just hanging out listening to old R&R on Oldies Paradise out of Toronto Canada on my Simple Radio App on my phone.... who says I'm not modern..... Rock on Guru's....

Looking good here today after a damp and cloudy day yesterday... got not much but shop cleanup going on and watching the Husker game for as long as I can stand it.....

don't make eye contact with anyone out there Guru's.......

Pretty wild World Series so far though..... evenly matched teams... looking like advantage Astros's right now.....and are not the Eagles still undefeated? Huskers up against the Golden Gophers this weekend.... Nebraska is a 16 point underdog..... our No. 1 QB is out this week so we will have a bunch of kids playing that so far are not ready for prime time....... geez....

Well the other shoe dropped and we have been dropped by State Farm on our home owners policy...... looks like we are going to Nationwide now.....do not know much about them but my SF agent seems to think they are good. Says he will reapply for us at SF in a few months.... I said why would be we go back to SF...... because I don't want to lose your business says he... its complicated I guess..... hell wid dem..... Nationwide.... hmmm that reminds me of a song.....

...Howdy from out in the last bastion of common sense and decency.... otherwise known as Corn Country....

took Lil Red my 99 Step side short box in to get the engine bay detailed. It's a mess having never been cleaned up since 2003 when we bought the truck. I would do it here but then what do you do with all the grease and oil that is being washed off....? they are equipped to do that stuff and for $80 bucks which includes a wash... I'm going to let them.

So the detail shop is like 3 miles from my house so I threw in my restored Lime Green 1964 Schwinn Varsity I got in 8th grade in the back of the pickup and rode the bike home after dropping the pickup off.............. it took me awhile to crawl in the house and make coffee but I am almost back to normal.... since when did bike riding get to be so hard....??

try to be normal Guru's

...we had not one T and T'er...... the rented Dobermans must have worked....

warm breezy day and am mostly goofing off but getting ready to go out and do something in the yard...

Hell of nice spread there Tommy..... very cool.... it's the trade and loyal customer base that you have established that will be a big part of that sale... and then the new owners will have to keep up the hard work and service you guys put into it......

ok ok..... worky worky Guru's

...now this is a badass move..... unbelievable.... went from 10th to 5th and got in the final race at Phoenix...

...we also do not get many kids for trick or treat.... may be the rented Dobermans....or no lights on or the crime scene tape.... but occasionally we get one or two and give them a healthy apple....

finally we had a real pro guy show up from State Farm and he added a bunch of stuff left off the original bid and added a bunch more siding and stuff.... we may be on the way to house repair......

Have a small nip of expensive bourbon today Guru's....

went to the work out room and did the weekly chores this morning.... now I am hiding out a bit because there is a lioness prowling around the house wid a list.... and she wants me to help her wit it.... on no here she comes now.... hey that reminds me of a song....

go gettum Guru's.....

Had a great day here today.... went to the last of the Year Speedway Motors Cars and Coffee this morning and took a long ride on the HD in the afternoon when it was plain to see that the Huskers were going to get upset again this week.... hell I am numb to it ......

Have a nice evening Guru's....

sorry to hear you are being plagued by that poor work done on your hip.... Nebraska may be in the middle of nowhere but we have the best Docs here of all kinds. you may need to go to where they specialize in those things in a bigger area and see what they say......

...what is up wid da surgeon for Arron he got da bad hips?

Finally had my State Farm adjuster to be here today at 10 am....My contractor came in from a job site 45 miles away so he could be here.... We sat and talked and 10 am turned into 11 am and still no adjuster...finally called my local SF shop and they checked and then said sorry he had to cancel.... I'm like WTF.... he said he send you an email to you.... I said if he did I never got it...just pissed me off... I was here and did not have to move anything around so I can get over it but my contractor had to leave his job and drive over here. He was cool with it but I called BS on the whole deal..

It has been like this the whole time.... like pulling teeth... nothing to do but get though it...... don't worry be happy

Is this what the cancel culture is? I do not like it?

Go for it Guru's.....

Nooooo Matt....not in the rain.... OMG.....

well I got this second cousin up in Montana who has this 02 vert in the Electron Blue Metallic color which is a fav of mine. He bought it maybe 5 years ago and drove it awhile but it has a very early centrifugal blower system on it from a business that was bought out by another business and on and on.

Well the belt broke and he tore it apart and like the whole front end of the car has to come off to get to everything. This kit had everything flipped so the alternator is on the passenger side and the blower is on the drivers side... belt is not running straight and its a bitch getting to the pulley's...and on and on..... He has other toys and is an older guy so the Vette just sits and has for several years now.

I have seen the car and it is a great low mileage car with the LS1 intact the only thing added was the blower. It does have LT headers also...... I keep encouraging him to fix it or tear that old blower off there and just enjoy the car for what it is.... He keeps saying he will get to it..... I told him if he wanted to sell it as is I would take it off his hands.... so far he has not said yes. I think his interest is lagging..... we shall see..... we shall see..... Patience is a virtue...

Keep the homefires burning Guru's...

Wasssup Guru's...... nice fall day here.... VB I won't be surprised if we don't get cancelled we will be taking out somewhere in the vicinity of $60 large or more when its all done. My only protection is we have been with SF for 40 years and pay in a lot of money every month... so we shall see....

just working away doing the best that I can.... I have gotten real interested in C5's all of a sudden.... my cuz up in Montana is talking about maybe selling his...... we shall see.... not ready to do anything yet.

Have a day Guru's

Morning fellow travelers..... got work to do so am getting ready to do it..... Yep Matt its time to put the toys up already... got the 56 in and new battery charged and unhooked.... Harley is in the ready rack as is the Lil Honda..... Lil Red is in the garage in case we need a parts chaser... things are settling in for a long winters nap.....

Ya Andy the Huskers have fallen on hard times but the future looks better.... be nice to win 6 games this year and go to a small bowl game.... it would be like the Super Bowl for Husker Fans.... keep the faith....

Have a day of reflection Guru's
