Brutal cold the past few days. It warmed up today, I think we have two digits in the temp.
Southwest is better than frontier. I flew frontier one time. Worst experience of my life. Never again. TB - glad rehab is going well. Hope everyone has a great day!

Good Morning CGs!
Brutally cold here today. Is it summer yet? I'm ready for it to warm up. Getting the itch to work on and drive some cars. MLK Day so the kids have the day off school. They don't mind, as you would assume. I think adults need more of those days, too...maybe we should all be retired. I'll run that past the wife. Hope everyone has a great day!

Happy belated birthday TB. Sounds like Sue and Tommy worked the casino over. I love stories with a happy ending. Cold here. The only positive is January is now half over. Hope everyone has a great day!

Cold here. We got some snow the other day and a little more going on right now. Kids are going sledding soon. Speaking of concerts the wife took my daughter to a string quartet performance of Coldplay songs last night. Said it was really good. First semester ended just before Christmas. Got the class ranking results back and RR#1 is 11th out of 425 and RR#2 is 14th out of 454. Not bad. Hope everyone has a great day!

Hard to believe it's 2025 but here we are. Last night we went and saw a movie, Wicked. It was very good. Very long but it didn't seem that way. After that we came home and played board games and waited for the countdown. I was in bed at 12:01. No real desire to stay up late any more. How was everyone's NYE? Hope everyone has a great day!

Good Morning CGs!
The real question Tommy is did you find the draw? Nice cars for sure but the maintenance / repair costs scare me away. That's why I buy warranties on all of my new cars. It's been a busy week during the Christmas season. I hope everyone had a good holiday. After nearly 20 years of Corvette ownership I finally made the trip to mecca. Our family holiday was a few days in kentucky. We stayed just south of Louisville which was sort of central to a lot of things. So one of our trips was to the National Corvette museum. Definitely a cool place to go and see. I think it's required if you're a Corvette owner. I thoroughly enjoyed it as did my daughter. My wife not so much. My son was indifferent. I probably could have spent longer there but I had to worry about them as well. To be honest I thought the museum would be bigger, not that it was small, just that there's so much more that they could have displayed or promoted. Definitely worth the experience and I'd like to go back again one day. Home now and back to normal life, whatever that is. Hope everyone has a great day!

Gloomy day here. Both kids got hit with the stomach flu really hard last night around 3 am. Not pleasant for anyone. They are confined to quarters until further notice. I'm still feeling well but the wife said she's not 100%. Makes for an interesting holiday. Hope everyone has a great day!

Chilly here, we had a little snow the other day. Some left but most of it melted. Have a Christmas party for our TKD school later this afternoon and RR#2 has a dance school demo at the same time. Luckily they are right next door. Convenient. Hope everyone has a great day!

Supposed to be a nice day today in the 50s. The Christmas lights I already put up zonked out the other day so the wife wants me to replace those. Not really in the mood for that. Picked up a new 3d printer for RR#2 for Christmas. Bought the extended warranty this time. So that was something like $450 out the door. Things get more expensive the older they get. Andy, good luck with the job search. Hope everyone has a great day!

Another cold morning here. Winter has appeared. We had some snow the other day but it only stuck around for a day or two. Supposed to be in the 40s this week. Glad I put up the Christmas lights when it was still warm in November. Been busy around here with work, family, life. No updates on the mustang, was looking for a replacement transmission but no luck. I'll pull this one and see how bad the damage is. Hope everyone has a great day!

Yesterday was beautiful and today turned into a cold and rainy mess of a day. I feel bad for the kids who want to trick or treat.
Found out yesterday I'll be able to store one of my cars at Mom's house so that will free up the rack for the mustang and a winter transmission swap. No use crying over split milk. Move forward. Hope everyone has a great day!

Well Gris, I may be drinking to forget later today.
Went to take the mustang to my mom's house and when I got halfway there the trans blew up. Grenaded what I believe is 2nd gear internally. Case is still intact and I was able to limp home. It had been whining for a while but was shifting great and no other noises so I thought it would be ok. Nope. The camaro has a weird intermittent vibration. My buddy felt it the other day when we were driving and we both figured it was u-joints. Checked those today and they are good. So it's maybe wheel bearings which I already bought or could even be the rear end. Great. Also got rear ended in the Corvette a couple of days ago at a red light. Guy in a tesla. It was maybe 2 mph. No damage other than a scratch the size of a pencil tip. I got lucky. I don't want to go through that and I don't want it on my car fax. So that's my week. F me, right?

Good Evening CGs!
No rain today so I drove the Vette. Needs a wash pretty bad but I haven't had a chance to zip through the touch less around the corner. Maybe one morning this week. Kids have a big band day in St Louis on Friday. Unfortunately I can't make it due to work. Oh well. Maybe next year. Hope everyone has a great day!

I've been MIA, I apologize. I think I'm busy but after reading the chats of what everyone else is up to apparently I've been on vacation the past few weeks. Not sure how you guys fit it all in. Kids are getting ready to wrap up marching band season. They had a state competition on Saturday and although they did really well performance-wise they got skunked by the judges. Politics, I guess. It's in every facet of our lives. Just too bad the kids had to experience it. Cooler weather is upon us, although it was blissfully warm today. Not too many of those days left. Hope everyone has a great day!

Weather took a bit of a turn on the cool side. Beautiful during the day but a little chill at night. Had to drive home with the top up last night, what a shame. Wife's SUV needs brakes so I ordered a set off of Rock Auto. Those are sitting in the box and ready to go on when I get some time. Hopefully this week. I have to get the mustang over to my mom's house to store it for the winter (outside). She's got more room than I do so it makes sense. Hope everyone has a great day!

I'm the same way VB. I prefer Snap-on over most. He's got more than me with it being his actual job but I'm bordering around 100k retail price worth with my box and everything. It's a bit of an addiction. At least it makes him money.

Glad the storm didn't hit you too hard, Tommy. Kids had a band competition last night. They played well and took second in their division so they were happy. The school that won first always puts on a good show, tough competitors. A little chilly today but enjoyable. Hope everyone has a great day!

Yes, I'm still alive. Haven't been online much the last couple of weeks. Hard to believe this month is almost over! Got the pool closed the other day and the wife pulled just about everything out of the garden. We have some more outside clean up and organizing to do. I moved some things around in the garage but I need to get the mustang over to my mom's house where she has more room along side the garage. Always something to do if you have the inclination. Hope everyone has a great day!

Got the rear brakes pulled apart last night on the Camaro. Found out the problem, the friction material on one driver's side pad separated from the backing plate and literally fell off. It was gone. The remaining pads all had over 50% material left. I was able to pull off one of the pads on the passenger's side by hand. Cheap parts from the PO. Got the rear all buttoned up in the dark last night. Need to finish the fronts today. Tommy, sorry to hear that your son is still missing. Hopefully you hear something soon.

Pulled the leaky rim and tire off the Camaro and drove up to Discount Tire today. I BS'd with the guy a bit and explained to him I didn't care what it took, I wanted the rim to not leak. Brought a bunch of tools with me just in case. But they got it cleaned up and remounted and he said it's good to go. Fingers crossed. Took the wife out for a lunch date and back home now. Quick workout and then have to take RR#2 to the dentist. Tommy, did you ever get the issues worked out on the 91? Hope everyone has a great day!

Good thing you have the day off to relax, Marcus. Not much going on here. Camaro needs a brake job so I guess I need to order that sooner rather than later. Hope everyone has a great day!

Hot here, as well. Had some pretty nasty storms come through last night. No damage for us but saw online lots of little spots that had downed power wires, trees, etc. Tried to take RR#1 to the bank to open a new student checking acct. I didn't have an appointment so they wouldn't see me. I never remember needing one before. Oh well. Went to the running shoe store yesterday to buy a new pair. They didn't have what I wanted in stock but I got measured and ordered off the website. Should have them in a few days. Hope everyone has a great day!

We have a bit of a warm spell moving through. A mini heat wave. About 90 now. Tommy, feel free to pass that luck around. I started a diet this week. No beer, calorie restrictions, and lots of running. Self imposed. I's making me a bit crabby but better in the long run, right? That's what I keep telling myself. Hope everyone has a great day!

Good Morning CGs!
AC is definitely a good thing! I'll never own another car without. Noticed the AC wasn't super cold in the Trans Am the other day. Probably needs a top off after 20+ years. I have a spare can so I should probably hook up the gauges and take care of that. 10 oz should be enough to top off 2-3 cars in the fleet. The correct procedure is use an expensive (and large) recovery machine, test for leaks with nitrogen, repair leaks, refill with correct weight. Well that's not realistic. Over time seals shrink, valves leak, hoses leak at a molecular level. A good set of gauges and a temperature pressure chart along with a vent temp thermometer give you a good indication of proper fill. Or you could be Tommy and use the trigger can from the parts store ![]() Hope everyone has a great day!

That's quite a bit of rain, Gris. I was watching a video the other day of some flooding and how it just ripped through this town. Pretty devastating and amazing at the same time. We've had rain but luckily not that bad. Went to the kids' band demonstration yesterday. Put $10 in the 50/50 raffle and won $200 so I'm feeling like Tommy after casino night. We are all going out to lunch later for my uncle's birthday (the one with the 95 mustang). Hope everyone has a great day!

It was a strange day weatherwise, the sky was clear and then the clouds would roll in out of nowhere and pour rain for 10 minutes, then go away. Happened a few times. Weird. Did get the mustang out and drove that around a bit. Left my lights on in a parking lot and almost killed the battery. I guess we forget about modern conveniences because every other car I own had automatic headlights. Hope everyone had a great day!

Warm day here I think it was 86. A bit muggy, too. Starting running again a little bit. Been hitting the treadmill and slowing trying to work my way up with the distance. But I'm getting in a solid 20 minutes of various lengths a few days a week now. It's slowly getting easier. Hope everyone has a great day!

Good Morning CGs!
It's been cooler here the past few days. Pool is still not in use by the children. Might have to make good my threat to close it permanently. I've been driving the Trans Am the last 2 weeks or so. It was my fault for letting it sit too long. Threw a P0446 code the other day which is usually an evap tank solenoid and a PIA to replace because the tank has to come down. Found the gas cap seal was cracked so I replaced that with a new GM unit. Code hasn't come back so I'm hoping that fixed it. Hope everyone has a great day!

Tommy, you'd think with all this anger that TB was doing plumbing at the daughter's new house ![]() Nice day here. It's been hot and humid the last couple. Pool water got all messed up from rain and whatnot. Super shocked it and put in some algaecide and cleaned the filter. But now it needs some clarifier so I'll have to pick that up later. Tommy, any updates on nursery sale? Hope everyone has a great day!

Well the rain did move in yesterday morning which prevented the roof from being put on. We will have to reschedule. We've had a lot of rain in the last couple weeks. Messed up the pH balance in my pool and I had some algae because of it. I super shocked the pool Monday morning along with cleaning the filter cartridge so hopefully that clears everything up. Taking the Ridgeline to get the windows tinted today. I've put that off for too long so I called and made an appointment finally. VB, sounds like quite the ordeal for your friend. Hopefully it's a quick fix. As far as Harris like you guys were talking about yesterday....someone brought up an interesting point to me about how this was all done after Biden was already selected as the presidential candidate through the primaries. Now they basically usurped the election process by placing her in after the fact. Wild. Hope everyone has a great day!

Good Morning CGs!
Roofers are supposed to come today and do the roof. About a 50% chance of rain so I guess we'll see what happens. The new ZR1 seems like quite the machine. The internet is guessing what the price will be. My guess is $189,000 MSRP and $350,000 at dealers. All a guess at this point. TB - sounds like you had quite the ordeal. Glad it worked out. Hope everyone has a great day!

Good Morning CGs!
It's been a nice week here weatherwise. I swapped cars around and I've been driving the trans am with the Corvette resting for a bit. I'm a little mad at myself for not doing that earlier in the season. Oh well. Speaking of cars got the new distributor put in my uncle's 95 mustang GT this week. Went in with no issues and got the timing set. Good to go and he's happy. Headed to Pierogi Fest today in Whiting Indiana. Should be a nice time. Hope everyone has a great day!

I believe this new test is flawed.

Good Afternoon CGs!
Nice warm weather here. Sunny but not too hot. Kids have marching band practice until late so we are going to grab a bit to eat and do some shopping. TB - looks like we missed you by a week. Where are you staying? Hope everyone has a great day!

Good Afternoon CGs!
Spent the weekend up in Wisconsin with the family. Had a nice time. We had to take two cars because there were 6 of us. RR#1 wanted to take the Corvette so that's what we did. It ran well but we had a small hiccup halfway there. Rear tire was losing pressure for no known reason. There was a discount tire at the next exit so we pulled in. They couldn't find anything wrong with it so they dismounted the tire and remounted it including new o-rings and a new Schrader valve. That seems to have done the trick. Made the rest of the trip with no issues. Speaking of the Corvette my headlight gear stripped out about 2 weeks ago. I ordered the kit on eBay but had not had time to work on it yet. So I tackled that today and got the driver's side motor out and rebuilt. The glue is drying now and I'll probably put it back in tomorrow. I should probably do the passenger side while I'm at it but ran out of time today. Hope everyone has a great day!

Good evening CGs!
TB, you're a mover and a shaker. But a monthly massage is something I could get used to. Good job, Letty. Most business is not what you know, it's who you know. Sounds like you're rubbing elbows with the right folks!

Good Morning CGs!
Went over to look at my uncle's 95 mustang yesterday. It has an intermittent no start or no run issue. Diagnosed it as a bad PIP which is the equivalent of a Chevy pick up coil in the distributor. Had to order a new one online so it will take a few days. Watched a movie on Netflix with the kids last night. Semi sci-fi comedy with Ryan Reynolds called The Adam Project. It was pretty enjoyable and the kids liked it. Hope everyone has a great day!

Happy 4th everyone!
We had our village fireworks show last night so we had a little get together and watched from the backyard. Been fixing cars all week, mine and others. Never a shortage of stuff to do. Enjoy the BBQ, Letty! Hope everyone had a great day!

Just got home after a little trip with the kids. 1000 miles of driving and a few days doing stuff together. It was a nice time. Probably not many more of those trips the older they get. Gotta spend the time when you can. Hope everyone had a great day!

Good Afternoon CGs!
On a little road trip. A few hours left of driving but the wife took over after our lunch break. I didn't clean out the junk drawer but started cleaning out the junk garage last night. An hour and a half later with a full recycle can and half full garbage can and it still looks like I haven't started yet. Maybe it's a sign. Letty, we've all had those days. At least it got fixed. TB - that's pretty impressive work for the GS. Hope everyone has a great day!

Good Morning CGs!
Another hot one today. Buddy of mine let me know his kid picked up an 86 Corvette the other day and asked if I could assist if needed. No problem. Kid called me yesterday with a couple of questions and I found out the car has been sitting for at least 10 years and is currently not running. Sounds like I'll be answering a few more questions down the road. Never a problem - I love to help with these cars. Hope everyone has a great day!

Good Morning CGs!
Was able to get the pool wall repaired the other day and put back together. That's all functional and running now. Kids still haven't used it yet, of course. It's still a little cold but it's slowly warming up. We've had some hot weather here. Nothing we can't handle. But I don't have to shovel it so I'm not complaining. Hope everyone has a great day!

Had a few days off and already packed full of stuff to do. Got the drivetrain all buttoned up on the mustang. A few little hiccups along the way but it's in and running with no more vibration. Still need to reassemble the interior. Saw an article that the "no down payment" programs from the early 2000s are coming back. Didn't learn anything the first time??? Hope everyone has a great day!

Good Afternoon CGs!
It's been a rough week but I have a couple of days off to recuperate. Speaking of chores there is always something to do around here. RR#2 is out tending to the lawn right now. That's why we have kids, right? Roofer and insurance adjuster came over today to inspect the roof. We have had multiple hail storms in the last few months and it was time to make a claim. I will get a reduced amount due to the age of my roof but something is better than nothing. Hope everyone has a great day!

Good Morning CGs!
Sounds like a good day to go back to bed, Tommy. Any update on the nursery sale? Tinkered with the mustang and got the clutch assembly, bell housing, and transmission put back in. The flywheel I put in last year was vibrating so bad you couldn't drive the car. Hopefully this new one sorts it out. I'll find out once it's all back together. Hope everyone has a great day!

Good Morning CGs!
Took junior to the movies yesterday morning. We saw a new movie called Fall Guy. It's loosely based on the old show, a stunt man doing stunt man things. It was a pretty funny movie and entertaining. He liked it, that's all that matters. Chores today. Hope everyone has a great day!
