Good Morning CGs!

Wow, Tommy, you sure have a way with words!!!

I have a freeeeeeee day today. Wife is at work and baby is with mother-in-law. That means I can run all the air tools I want, play the radio loud, bang, make noise, cuss, eat junk food, and call up some strippers. OK, well maybe not the last part. But a man can dream.

I plan on starting the big project today. It's been a long time coming. I was trying to do some reading last night but didn't find a lot of good in depth threads about a motor pull for an L98. I will be using the FSM and maybe the Chiltons if I get stuck. I've got my digital camera, a notepad, and baggies ready to go. I'll take lots of photos and try to document it well.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Matthew

Good luck with yanking your engine, Matt! I recall feeling a moral victory when mine came rising out of the engine bay.

Last workday of the week for me, taking tomorrow off. I hope to wrap up my bathroom project, getting real tired of it. The poor Vette is neglected and dirty.

Have a good day, everyone!

Matt - If I can do this... anyone can do this. Buy lots of heavy duty zip-lock bags. The thin ones will break and you will lose fasteners. Have a sharpie or two on hand. Take photos and you should be ok. You have a lot of knowledge here too if you get stuck anywhere. I had lots of people walking me through periods of my build.

The weather is going to be awesome today. I hope to get out of here a little early and I've decided to take the day off tommorow to start the Easter weekend a little early.

Good morning.
Living Room, and Dining Room renovations begin today. Actually, re-renovations. Got screwed a while back by a general contractor, so I am fixing and finishing everything he molested.
Should be a productive few days.
Nicer weather means the ability to do some of the dirty work in the driveway while waiting on things to dry.
The wife will be so happy.

Last day of work here...Ready for a long weekend...
Hopefully, I'll get the vette fired up as it hasn't seen the light of day since Nov!

Hope everybody has a great Day and Easter weekend!

Greetings, Gurus!

Tommy - is that from the movie where they come up with the ad campaign for Volvos touting its boxiness?

I cut off about 13 inches of hair, and donated it to Locks of Love.

I bought a new Sony Reader, and love it! I've been spending time shopping for free and library-loanable eBooks. Haven't spent any money yet on buying an eBook.

I guess I better go get some work done!

Happy Thursday!

Another beautiful day of weather here in central Indiana. There are a lot of toys out on the street. We've spent the last few evenings working in the yard,picking up limbs and rolling the lawn. There is still plenty left to do. Have a great day!

I frequently call Matatk a hugger-mugger. Well, it sounds something like hugger-mugger.

Afternoon folks....Been a pretty busy day for me so far....last day of the work week for me. Spring Fever has officially kicked in, the kids are wild. Got the OK last night to start on one of the cabinet jobs, so I ordered materials today. Yesterday when I got home from school I washed and buffed out a few scratches from the pickup. Sat and watched a little TV (an unusual event for me). Sounds like, Matt, you have a good day planned.

Weather here is nice, temperature was, but the wind is really kicking up 30-40mph. Glad I'm not a track coach going to a track meet today.

That's gotta be out of Foxworthy's Redneck Dictionary along with Wiga-Diga.

That's awesome! Great program. Is Andy upset you cut off your hair (be honest, he is a guy and most guys hate that!).

Thanks for all the support, guys.
