Good Morning CGs!
Wow, Friday already, huh? It's gonna be cold and rainy here today. Quite the combination. High of 53*. WTF. Rain is supposed to clear up this weekend, so that's a start. I planned on doing some work on the 79, but I've ordered more parts so depending on when they arrive is when I'll get a chance to do things. I'm not gonna replace the radiator hose and thermostat before I get the CTS, etc. So what does everyone else have planned for the weekend? Tomorrow night there is a little family party at the in-laws house for our aunt/uncle's 30th anniversary. Should be a nice time. Might try to take the baby to the zoo on Sunday or Monday. We'll see. Hope everyone has a great day! Matthew |

Cold? I laugh in your general direction! It was a balmy 33 this morning, glad to have a good heater in the Vette. Tomorrow's high is 38 with snow showers. I think the party is over, planning to put the car away next weekend.
Tonight I'll be rooting for the Twins to steal one from the Yankees. It's gonna be tough - we're quite overmatched, on paper, anyway. But like they say, they don't play on paper. Have a great Friday, everyone! |

Snow in the forecast tomorrow and Sunday,
Got a second job interview this afternoon - with the Company owner. I hope it goes well. This is getting to be a fairly long, drawn out process (started back on the 2nd of Sept). Stopped driving the Vette for the season, the wife's '79 Honduh will be heading for storage in a week or two. Time for the Hibernation. |

Same here, 35 but it's always cool in the a.m. when you live at altitude. But, this at altitude we're closer to the sun so, yesterday was 73, today 75. With the way I insulated my house last year, it's 73 inside at 10p.m., 36 outside in the a.m. but inside only drops to 69. Last year, I made it to Thanksgiving before turning on the heat. The weather's calling for rain next week, it will be the 3rd rainy day since May. |

This weekend is the final cruize for some Canadian die hards. There are about 18 cars (vettes and mustangs) driving from Winnipeg to Brainern, MN for our Thanks Giving long weekend. Supposed to be snow and rain at home. Hey Pianoguy, see what you can do about the weather down there for a couple days, OK? Help a brother out...

Weather is nice here, supposed to hit maybe 80 today in DC. We are leaving for Ocean City today, I'm riding my bicycle again in another 100 miler on Saturday on the lower eastern shore of Maryland and Assateague. It should be a nice ride if there is no rain. It has historically rained for this ride, so I am keeping my fingers crossed.
My car is all done - I can't wait to pick it up and flash the PCM and get it on the road. Several months ago I had a situation when I was driving the Vette, I had a ton of smoke come out of the steering column area and then just dissipate. I could never find the problem, but my horn wouldn't work any longer. Anyhow, to make a long story short. The guy that works on my car found the 12 volt hot wire that runs through the column had shorted. I'm not sure if I got this straight but he said the column was not grounded any more and surprised I didn't have more issues. Also, he said that often that can lead to serious fire damage. I'm glad none of that happened and its fixed now. |

We got (dare I say it)a skiff of snow yesterday. Hopefully it warms up next week. The real funny thing is the trees haven't turned colour yet, strange indeed.
Happy Thanksgiving JD. We've got about 20 people coming for dinner on Sunday, but cruising sounds like a wonderful idea. Have a good one Gurus Jim |

Good morning!
Looks like a rainy Sat. for me too. Was planning on going to a Chevy/Vette show at a local dealership, not sure now if the weather will permit. Got to get working on a bathroom ceiling that has a small amount of water damage, still haven't found where the water came in there. Have a good day Joel |

We actually had a freeze this morning, low of 32* when I got up. TGIF. Kids are crazy today, must be the weather. Our Cross Country meet that we host was canceled for tomorrow. Good it's supposed to be cold wet (possible snow) and windy. I don't regret not having to stand around in that.
I bought a used Corsa Exhaust system for the 01, it got here yesterday...got to plan some time to put it on. |

Started with a drizzle. Grey skies now but temps are moderate. Supposed to go to Greenvelle tonight for part of a 3 day Autumn Fest. Music, food, beverages and other entertainment. I wonder if they have an Autumn wet T-Shirt contest. ........ Nah, no such luck.
