Old Nell ran down the road and back like she was born to do.... car show was fun....best of show went to a jacked up Dodge pickup..... the times they are a changing..... although had a lot of folks interested in the Wagon....lots of stories..... had a pumpkin colored 69 Roadrunner with white vinyl interior and white vinyl top that was a clone to the one I used to own..... could not talk him out of it....

back now with a Summer Shandy in hand and headed for the big chair....

Ok.... the 56 is fixed..... I have said that before.....but in my heart I really believe...... headed to Blue Hill for the 4th festivities in the 56...... long live the Republic.... amen to that....

not horrible here today....not as humid.....Old Nell the 56 crapped out on us again while heading to Wendy's for Frosty's....WTF..... went in to Lincoln to Speedway and bought an new electronic distributor and a new chromium plated fuel pump and fuel filter..... you know its serious when I'm throwing the Chrome at baby..... if this all don't work I will rip out the whole engine a put in a 525 hp LS3 wid a 6 speed tranny plug and play.... we gonna fix it....... stay tuned....

....dude.....like what's an air pump?

So Andy you got a 10 footer.... that is better than a 20 footer I am thinking.... sounds like a good project...

We finally got in the path of some rain last night...had over 2" in the gauge this morning... I slept right through it.... I put the Tahoe in the new garage bay last night... uh..it fills it right up...the Corvette will fit better I'm thinking...

Not so humid this morning but when the sun hits all the wet ground it will be a steam bath.

Rock on Guru's...

I am on a right wing radio show fast this week... I would get so worked up at the commies that it was fouling my mood.... this week I am listening to 60's on 6 only..... happy happy happy...

Humidity is 100% right now....last time I saw this happen it really brought on the Gray Leaf Spot on the corn.... we should be vigilant....

Up early because its big Tuesday....and I am out to beat the heat.... keep putting one foot in front of the other Guru's... we shall overcome....

...now dats Kool!

Yeah I remember salt tabs.... little orange pills...that tasted salty... I decided it worked just as well to have them put extra salt on my french fries everyday..... I came back from Sturgis one time in 104 degree heat.... felt cool to me as the wind took the sweat away.... I did not drink much on the way... got back home and slammed down 2 beers and then got sick as a dog... chills and throwing up.... finally had the presence of mind to drink some water with salt mixed in it...threw up the first batch but drank another one and the body balanced out. Did not ever do that again. When riding in the heat I would drink a bottle of Gatoraid or water every gas stop..... just thought you should know that....

Yeah....that does it, now they really pissed me off...you don't start messing wid da Duke... I can only imagine what he would be saying if he knew how far things have gone to the left... he was a great patriot.... and what are we going to sing at ball games if they get rid of the Star Spangled Banner....what we need to get rid of is those socialist bastards....

Sooo humid here last 2 days..... just a haze hanging in the distance..... not used to it...

Have a safe day Guru's

Kids should always have to put rocks in buckets....teaches them things.... like if you don't want to do that for a living get and education.... and Characters are made not born....

had a 100% chance to get an inch of rain last night so we .30" I'm not complaining but that is how its been going around here this summer..... but the corn looks great....

Now the 56 is running fine then will start gasping and lurching and then die.... starts right up and will run fine for awhile then dies again... I am thinking fuel pump is going bad.... its a cheap easy fix so will start there... no kids back in 56 the fuel pump was not in the gas tank. It was on the side of the engine.... I know weird right?

a nice nap is in order today...... I would like to doze off to a baseball game.....are they even playing baseball right now? Rock and roll Guru's

I watched the Churchill Movie awhile back.... enjoyed it... the right man at the right time in history... just like Trump is today....

Got a tad bit of rain last night but not enough to day anything but wet the deck...... got plenty to do today around the house and shop.... floors need done and so much to do out in the shop I don't know where to begin....

Keep reaching for the prize Guru's....

That would be Junior High School Grisman........ Thinking I should pack up my Springfield Armory Saint and a suitable sidearm and go protect a few statues this weekend..... call it citizenship......

I am so ready for the weekend..... got tons of stuff to do to get ready to bring the Corvette into its new bay...... lots of cleaning up and it will just get more dirty because there will be some sheetrock dust when they do the finish stuff.....

Keep the faith my bruthas and sistas.....

hit the deck...its time for our morning work out..... like making coffee and eating donuts..... breakfast of champions.... going to get hot again out here on the Great Plains.... got the pivots running on all the baby corn....

More later Guru's....

I'm thinking they are cashing their Covid checks VB..... hell it's free money right? The gov will just print some more...

Turbo's are for sissy's...... real men supercharge stuff..... stock hp is good for me.... I don't need no mods on my LS....

Nice day here on the great plains..... not to hot not a lot of Humids...... I like it.......

actually we woke up to 58 degree temps and somewhat dry air for this part of the country.... feels like a Black Hills morning.... headed out to look at hail damaged corn.... looking forward to that..... not so much....

Matt just put a blower on that thing and all your troubles will be over.....

Keep your powder dry Guru's..... we may need it....

Steve Hilton said a Biden victory in November would be a tragic set back for the country..... he goes on to say the Biden is a weak, corrupt and mentally malfunctioning cipher being pulled further to the left every week..... I like the fact that Steve is holding back on how he really feels....

ya....not much on big snakes..... not a fan....

I'm worried they are going to come up wid some rocket launchers and go after Rushmore.... WTF.... why are good people standing around watching them do all this? I will tell you why? Nobody knows what is ok to do anymore.... can I protect myself and my family....my home? Or will I be in jail and the idiots running free......

from June 15th to last night in New York City there were 72 people shot in 53 incidences. For the same times last year there were 14 shot in 12 shootings..... the dark times are coming sooner than we thought..... Looks like a hundred years of liberal democratic policy in the big cities is coming home to roost.... sonsabiches.....

Hit the decks boys and girls...... its a bright new day.... lets start off with some stretching and then some light running in place then make coffee and have breakfast and we are ready for the day......

2nd option is stumbling back to bed moaning that the weekend is over and we don't want to go back to work.....

More later....

Well you must have had all your Nannies turned off Matt..... oh wait......

It is Fathers day so all of my brides list is put on hold....she is counting the minutes until midnight and she can get me back to work...... she wants a greenhouse..... I'm like really.... then she reminds of all the upgrades I am getting.....for the cars and shop...... I'm like yeah...that is all important stuff.....

Here is an oldie out of the past... the little girl is saying I like free stuff.....

Well we are not getting any of the rain here.....somebody is hogging it.... so Gris I'm thinking you would be front and center at the Tulsa Trump rally.... heard they are packing the place.....and had tickets requests for ton more folks... I would like to go to one of those someday....

Got some mowing today and take the 56 for a drive.... the new Tiger Paws are on and its as smooth as glass from 10 mph up to 80 mph...... looks good too..... will try to post a pic....

Trump 2020 Guru's....

safe travels matt.... what is Juneteen anyway..... up early cleaning up the job site.... trash day you know.... the new garage door is in and we next need to open up an interior wall and put some flooring down and just like that we made a garage bay.....

mid 60's here and cloudy but no rain unfortunately... yeah we need a rain.....

Keep the wheels turning Guru's....

Oh....yeah I know.....I was only kinda looking at the Corvettes.....

Hey teeb..... you remember years ago when you had a fix for the rocking C5 seats? Well you sent me up some plastic type spacers that I was going to use on old Mag Red but think I sold it before I used them.... or maybe you sent me 8 of the spacers.... I still have 4 of them.... and my C6 seat is rocking back when I get on it a bit...... so will that fix work on the C6 seat also do you think? just asking....

There is a lot to be said about a yellow C6..... I happen to know where there is a yellow C5 wid 34K miles on it for sale if you are in the mood to move up a gen...... beautiful car.... know the owner very well.....

Thou shall not be covetous of another man's C7......

Hot and windy here for a change...... geez.... Matt..do not try to hold in the urge to modify....it can only lead to bad things.....

I would like to see some pics of the Greenwood Dj if you can figure out how to post them on here......

gotta go....keep your cool Guru's

...welcome back dj.....we got banter here......

Tommy in my estimation its time to change doctors.....

Got a big hole in the wall in the shop building where the new garage door and bay is going...... lots of stuff laying around as the work continues...... I would post some pics but do not know how anymore.... this forum is not pic friendly anymore...

gotta go..... have a swell day Guru's

That's funny...... got up and started the sprinklers going early while the wind is not as bad..... going to be another hot one with the wind blowing right outa the south....

The guys will be here to open up the wall for the new garage bay today.... I better get ready also....

Nice find Matt..... you are going to have to open a few walls also to get all your cars inside when you are older... your bride may not be all that happy with a car in the dinning room......

to infinity and beyond Guru's.......

You know I thought I did a post this morning and now I don't see it..... hmmmm.....probably censored...... I was going on about my white privilege..... watched the 5 Bloods on Netflix last night and tried to keep an open mind but almost turned it off several times. The story isn't to bad and it does a credible job telling about the many Black kids that were drafted and sent to Nam to fight for a Country that was not treating them as equals... on that I had agree... other stuff not so much ..... A Spike Lee film

My BIL came over in his 09 Corvette and we clay barred it and got it looking very nice. Crystal Red Tint Coat can really take a shine...... now I must rest....

Things are ok here.....all normal.... no Antifa here yet trying to take over the village..... our defense perimeters are holding..... Headed over to my fiends shop with the 56 to put on a new set of shocks.... hoping that helps with the ride......

It is a beautiful day in the neighborhood.... have a relaxing day Guru's....... keep the powder dry......

Quote:


No chit...... I am not buying any lotto tickets..... the new tires did improve the ride from 70 to 90 mph.....it was almost smooth so I have decided I have to drive everywhere at 70 to 90 and it will be ok......

I did stop at Speedway Motors in Lincoln today and picked up a set of QA1 shocks for the 56...... see if that helps..... I'm in the just throw money at it till it fixes mood....... damnation......

Tom, we will be chopping big holes in the wall on Monday to get the door in and open up an interior wall........ more on that as it happens.

I also heard that the big trucking companies are not hauling into the Seattle area because their insurance carriers won't cover them or the loads........ told my daughter to stock up on food and TP.... its going to get scarce...... see if that gets the attention of that idiot Governor.....

Lock and load Guru's..........

I did not know you were a bad person Gris...... don't worry I'm bad also........

The new tires came in for the 56 and am headed down to have them installed so hopefully this will put an end to this episode of 2 bent rims and 8 bad tires....... we will see.....

Had central AC put in the shop and office yesterday..... a 30 year dream I had come to fruition.... but I am privileged you know...... the privilege I had was being born in the United States of America, the land of the free and home of the brave.... It is the greatest Nation on earth and I will not stand by to watch it be tore down by pansy asses kids who have never had to work for anything....... sonsabiches.........

who's with me??
https://memeshappen.com/media/created/ ... ay-cowboys-and-Antifa.jpg

Well the planned run with a load of liquid fertilizer did not go as they ran out of product.... I'm like, really? how does that happen....so we will do the thing tomorrow morning.... plenty to do today....

Gris....did not you say the Boomerang was closing at some point? Or did I just imagine that?

gotta go.......... have a solid Guru's....

Cold air moving in on the warm air.......what could go wrong?

bit cooler here.....today so not as bad as they said it was going to be...... things will get interesting tonight it sounds like...... just a nice rain will be good enough...

Keep on trucking Guru's....

Happy Birthday Matt.....damn you finally made it to 30 years....life begins at 30 Dude..... I'm 50-20....or is that my eyesight? probably both.....

Hot and windy but cool stuff coming as the storm from down south is supposed to dump rain on us..... we will see.... could use a nice 1.5".... not 5.1".......

posting pics of our C4's on the other forum....

We go to NFM in Omaha to buy furniture..... Also have been in the KC store.... big dang stores.....

Got out early to mow to beat the blast furnace that is continuing to blow out of the south..... 95 again today with lots of humids and 30 mph wind..... its hot...

am in for the day now...... got some movies to watch..... Greyhound with Tom Hanks is one of them...... WWII flick...

Got a guy coming over on Wednesday to help me open up an outer wall to put in a new garage bay for my Corvette. It will be in the same building as my shop and office is now and it will be in the south part of my office of which I do not need all that space since I am not conducting business out of there much anymore..... should be able to get everything inside I'm hoping...... more on that later...

Been riding the little Honda a bit..... starts right up and goes.... the engine internals have not been touched since it was built in 64 in Japan..... runs good and sounds good....

Have a cool day Guru's...

Took the Corvette to a car show but did not enter it..... did walk around to see all the cars.... most of them I have seen before.... did talk to a guy who was selling his 06 C6 which is really an 08 for 14,850 dollars..... yeah real long story which includes a flood and an un-repairable car as per the insurance company.... He bought it at the junk yard and went all through the car and cleaned it up but it ran fine.....

Never could get any kind of Title on it so he bought an O6 with a Salvage title and took off the Vin plate and put on his 08 and now has a clean salvage title on his 0608..... yeah good luck selling that ting......

Lots of wind here as the storms came through..... only half inch of rain though...... couple of tree branches down I see..... more chain saw work...... nothing wrong wid dat....

Heading out before it gets to hot..... have the greatest day ever Guru's..

got out early and back in late...... was not as brutal today but hot enough....drank like a gallon of water....and ice tea and coffee...... I like still wide awake.....

The idle on the Quick and the Silver is bouncing around from 550 rpm to 700 rpm...... and its surging a bit in first and second gear..... the tuner called A&A and talked to them about the tune and and they said it sounds like one of the new injectors is not playing well wid de others..... So they are sending out a new set on their dime and all I have to do is drive back to Soo Falls and have them installed and the tune checked...... it's not always easy to have mo power...

The lil Honda is done and running and now I have no time to go pick it up....... damnation all this work is getting in the way of my fun......

F the riots..... so many minority places of business gone up in smoke....peoples dreams and hard work gone in a night...and for what? You sure don't hear about that CNN and the others....

I was just thinking of 1968 the other day...... lot of chit happened in that year.... plus I graduated from High School.... I was ready to take on the world and knew everything...... which I found out later... I did not know nothing.....

Hot and windy here again today...... Teeb keeps sending us this wind..... headed out to work before it gets to hot....... stay cool Guru's

Out here in farm world there is no civil unrest...just folks trying to make a living and wondering what all the hubbub is about...... WTF.... its being driven by ANTIFA.... they are terrorists in my book...... and the sworn enemy of the far right...... and the not so far right....... commie bastards.....

The years do go faster the older you get it seems...... We are even having some looting and riots here in Nebraska Nice! How is that even possible?

Going to take out the QuickSilver and exercise her a bit.....just getting used to it again.... its all kinda different...... must not burn rubber.... ok maybe a little bit......

Keep your heads down Guru's.....

Bwahahahah......mo power......ahahahahah......

Do not think we will go to Minneapolis for a weekend.... terrible thing that happened there.... Brad would have been right in the middle of all that had he still been with us...... hope his family are staying out of the way.....

Well I went to Soo Falls South Dakota...... no riots there that I could see..... and picked up Quicksilver....... she is really quick now..... I drove her home and nothing big fell off.... the water temp ran about 194 out on the highway..... and the oil temp about 201...... I have a box of stuff they took off...... including an oil cooler and power steering cooler....I think...... which are on there for racing on a track purposes....

Anyway..... it drives as normal as pie until you get to about 3800 on up and then all hell breaks loose as you start to go into another dimension
and everything gets blurry........ yikes.......... sumbich can fly dude....

fuel milage was showing 24 to 26 on the highway.....at 85 mph..... so not a big drop there if any...... more on that later....... enjoy your weekend Guru's....

heck Tommy I kinda wanted to see you blow that thing up...... I mean.... you know.......

Casket wrap?? I would like to see a picture of that? very cool......

Had some Seed Corn maggots getting into the soybeans today so had to rush out and figure out what to do....... I know I know..... I live an exciting life out here...... it's war I'm telling ya......

Have a good night Guru's........ tomorrow I will be up getting Quicksilver out of shop and driving it home....... hoorah......

Geez there is some well written words on here today.... I did not grow up in the depression era or the WW II years... I am a classic Boomer....born in 1950.... My parents saw hard times and we didn't have a lot of money but we had an everyday pair of shoes and Sunday Shoes...we had a couple of pair of 501 Levies Mom would get at Woolworth's for like 6 bucks a pair.... we never missed a meal. Typical 50's family where Dad went to work and Mom stayed home to raise the kids and keep house....

Then along the way it all changed..... My Dad used to say it all started when Kennedy got elected.... whatever caused the break back in the Mid 60's was when it broke like Gris says..... pretty sure it was that damn rock and roll music that helped the anarchy along.... we did not know luxury...

My kids have had it good....to good maybe.....does not every generation want their kids to have it better? So here we are........ I hope it's working out for us.....

Happy Birthday John..... I'm now raising a bottle of Diet A&W Root Beer in your direction..... here is to many more...

Also just in the Grand Sport Quicksilver is done and ready for me to pick up on Friday.... with the Methanol injection it made 609 to the rear wheels....... on about 7 lbs of boost....... Holy Mother of Pearl..... I gots to be careful........

.....hang on a bit......still looking up "reverse Cowgirl".....
........oh....OH....Oh MY!....... ok quickly moving on....

They called and said the Grand Sport would be done on Friday...and so on the advice of Tommy I looked into renting a car in Lincoln and taking it up Soo Falls to pick up da car. Turns out Enterprise has a nice mid size car they will rent to me for $36.41 and they will pick it up at the shop the Corvette is being worked on in SF. Very nice! So we will pick up the rental on Friday morning and travel north and hopefully the GS will make it home with no problems...

I of course will not exceed the speed limits or have any episodes of excessive acceleration......

Meanwhile I must get back to work....... to uh pay for some things...... like excessive acceleration......

well I hope that never happens Tommy..... but there is some prime real estate in Huskerland if you want to move back to 6 months of ok weather and 6 months of really bad chit.......

Who would have thought that a bartender on Cheers....would make it as big as Woody Harrelson..... He has been in everything it seems and always does a great job....
