Here was Matts post from this morning ........ Technical difficulties on a merge.



Good Morning CGs!

Well they say April showers bring May flowers. It's supposed to rain today, but I'm still driving the vette. I guess I have to change my for sale ad to "only driven in rain on days it rained." Should still turn out nice, though, around 47*.

Actually got to bed early last night and got a good night's sleep. The rugrats were bathed and put to bed early and we actually had some free time. Watched Grey's Anatomy (I could care less) with the wife so we could spend some time together. Funny, she never wants to watch car shows, or action movies with me, but she always wants me to watch this crap with her? Oh well.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Matthew

I'm glad you took the time to nurture your loving relationship. No doubt while you were sitting there you expressed words of encouragement and appreciation for the special needs she fulfils in your lives. A simple warm embrace, your loving gaze, let's her know that everything is wonderful.

Greetings! I got my exhaust manifolds installed last night and did a little cleaning while the headers were off. I'd like to have it patched together to take a spin tomorrow, since that's the only halfways decent day in the near-term forecast, but we'll see how it goes. It's always something.

Enjoy your Friday, Gurus!

Tommy what wonderful words of advice, you really are a big warm fuzzy guy. I was going to tell Matt to turn off the stupid TV and talk about stuff. You said it much better. I really can't give advice since I sit in the Library watching my shows and she sits out in the living room watching hers. Every now and then we yell something at each other. It's all good though, 28 years and still going strong.

Brad I am amazed how fast you have gotten your exhaust changed out. I am working on 7 weeks now. Hey, Maybe today is the day!!!..........yeah right.

Nice here today finally and all hell is breaking loose so I gotta get after it. Have a good day Guru's!

Interesting happening near the house recently
http://www2.nbc17.com/news/2011/mar/31/911-ar-909763/

The sun finally showed it's face this morning. It's not going to be warm but at least it's not raining.

Did some datalogging last night, Mick said the tune looks pretty good which is awesome since it's the base tune. Might actually get to drive it this weekend. I also installed the headunit that's been bubba'd in the dash with the correct kit last night.

My wife likes American Idol and Grey's anatomy but she likes to watch Car Warriors too. I think it's the reality show edge to it that she likes.

Have a great day Guru's!

Jeff

Good morning guys....Marcus, you and yours sound a lot like me and mine (except we are going on 36 years). I will sit and watch some shows she watches, but luckily for me she's not into those reality programs (except for biggest loser a little). Weekend weather is supposed be great...possible showers off and on (I know most of you would not think that as being great, but we need the moisture bad) and temps in the 70's and low 80's.

Marcus, I do hope that your header shows today...although I don't have a good feeling about it happening. Brad, I must have missed the fact that you are putting the exhaust manifolds back on....Why is that?

I need to go back out to the place where I worked on the computers yesterday. They had a couple of issues that I had to bring home the computer and work out, so today I get to go back out and finish up. Really nice people to work for. Migrating from a Win98 machine to a Win7.....talk about culture shock. And of course none of the programs they are using now are compatible. So migrating the data to something that will work in Win7 is the biggest issue. The other computers were migrating from WinXp to Mac, really not as much of an issue, but they are making some major changes.

I had bought a Corsa cat-back last year and installed it with my headers, and it was too loud for me, so had reinstalled my factory cat-back (with the headers). Since then I discovered I had some leaks with my current setup (including leaks from the header gaskets), so I decided to try putting the stock manifolds back on with the Corsa cat-back and see how that works out.

Yes, I remember you putting the Corsa on. Well, I loved the sound of my Corsa system on my 94 (stock exhaust manifolds). And I understand that the headers make a huge difference in volume with Corsa.

Marcus. Just wanted you to know. I give good advice. It has next to nothing to do with my life and how I live it but I give good advice.

Tom, One day when my computer crashes I'll be mitigating files too. From WinXP to Out The Window. Maybe I'll have to have some serious computer forensic work done.

That honestly looks like it was worth the wait. It's been 2 hours, you should have it installed by now.

Car title transfer progress made. That all seems to be coming together. Real estate deal lies in the wings. We will here something in the next couple of weeks I imagine. This time next week I'll be in Boston. Hooked up with a couple of old friends and will meet them for dinner up there. I haven't been home in about 5 years so it should be fun. Get to trample on some of my old home turf. There is nothing quite like the flashbacks of going to where you grew up. I still know tons of people there but I'll only visit with a few. My immediate family mostly lives in Bradento Florida. I have uncles and cousins and nephews that still live up there.

Congrats on getting the header in, Marcus. It's not an April Fool's Day joke, is it?

that would be a good AF joke. But it's real. The joke is that after 7 weeks of waiting we left soon after it arrived on a weekend junket for Ultrawomans 50th B day. So there it sits and now I'm gone. Now that's an april fool's joke.

I will get it on next week. Have a good night guru's.
