Good Morning CGs!

Sorry I was MIA for the whole day yesterday. I set the wrong alarm button and almost overslept yesterday morning. Oops! But that extra half hour of sleep was nice By the time I got home from work, I had rugrat stuff to take care of, then the computer wasn't working right so I was done.

I did stop by the insurance agent last night. They looked over the policy and said I had every discount they offered except for a new one - email bills, and auto pay/pay in full. So I signed up for the email bills and it saves - get this - 15% off my policy. Holy crap. By using the auto pay/pay in full it's another 11%. Wow. That's a big chunk of change. I also asked my agent about progressive and she said they aren't that good. I have nothing to compare them with, so I can't say if that's true or not, but I like my agent.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Matthew

Nice discount, Matt! We pay our bills online, but my wife will not do auto-pay - too much hassle when something goes wrong. And somewhere along the line, it does.

4 days until Puerto Vallarta - my brain is on vacation already. Just haven't figured out what I'm going to forget yet. Meanwhile, I'm chewing on an American Racing Headers group buy they're getting going on CF.

Have a productive Hump Day, everyone!

Have fun Brad.

I just heard that this year's Reno Air Races will showcase the F-22 Raptor, so I'll have to go again this year. I've see almost any wild aircraft there that you can think of.

Top of the morning to ya! Just did my bicep and back routine and I couldn't lift much at the end. I'm hitting the wall Matt, I gotta push threw it. This will be one month at the end of this week. I am now 1/3 ripped.

Brad you guys have a good trip. Have a few Boat Drinks as you toast the good life. Have them put 2 of those little umbrellas in them for you. P.S. you should order the headers and they will be there when you get home.

Gotta go work like a dog today to help pay for my own headers that never seem to want to arrive. It will be a month from order to delivery which I am thinking is to long no matter what their excuses are. Try to encourage someone today even if it's yourself.

Good Morning guys...A typical day here at school. We got here and found that a water main right in front of our building had broke and water running everywhere. Thank God it was all outside. They are here jack-hammering the parking lot, and the water is turned off.

Matt, that's a good savings, but I don't do the auto-withdraw either. Too many hassles. Brad have a good time, you sh!thead Bill, that would be a kick to see. Marcus, I'm about 1/3 ripped too...yea right. Jeff, that's great news.

I worked in the shop until 10pm last night. I got quite a bit done, still have lots to do.

Well I stopped at the insurance agent's office tonight. They had more good news for me. They completely redid my policy and put me in some different program they have - altogether the new program, email, pay in full, etc - saved me a hair over $250 for 6 months. Holy crap can you believe that? Makes me feel like a schmuck for not doing it earlier.

Just spent the last hour diagnosing an internet problem on the outlaws computer. FIL must have clicked the wrong button and messed up firefox. Tried a new install, no luck. Turns out mcafee was being goofy, wouldn't let me change any settings. So I deleted it - was an expired trial version anyway, and dl'd AVG. Works now. FIL somehow changed the firewall settings and didn't even know it - he doesn't understand pop ups, so he just clicks random buttons. Nice, huh?
