Webmaster SW Chicago Burbs 22805 Posts Member since: 2008/1/7 0:00	Good Morning CGs! Holy crap, can you believe it's the last day of the month already? That means you should all be getting your W2s, 1099s, etc soon. Today is the last day for companies to send them out. So tax day it's far behind! I think I have all of my forms already. I just need to organize them and some receipts and send them off to my accounting office. I might get to it this weekend if I'm lucky. Feeling better than yesterday when I had some nasty flu symptoms. I'll take one swig of Dayquil before I leave for work and that should be the end of it. I hope. But now my wife is feeling icky. Oh well, that's what happens when you're around a mob of screaming kids. Hope everyone has a great day! Matthew

I'm sure my allergies and sinuses have something to do with it. Add a touch of stomach gurgle and achie joints and you have "feel like crap"

I felt not so hot last couple days also but being out in the 70 degree weather yesterday got me revved up. Had the Vette out and am getting the oil changed today and the brake fluid replaced for the coming season. The car is a looker with the mag red paint and always gets comments when I see folks. I tell them they can have one also but they think they are really expensive..... High 50's today and snow on Friday so that's how we roll out here. There is this button on the console.....that if you turn it off.......you can do stuff like this.......really easy.... I will grow up someday......maybe......have a good day Guru's!

Another decent day here in the low 40's, which ain't bad considering we should be getting into the coldest part of winter about now. You guys should take up vaping - I have hardly had a sniffle in over 2 years. I think the propylene glycol must kill some germs. Have a great day, all!

Weird weather, patterns these days. Marcus - It's OK to not to grow up at our age! My car is up on stands waiting for me to do some winter work to it.. I would have liked to drive it today with the nice weather but too much of a hassle to drop it back down and put the wheels back on. Anyhooo, and hope you all have a great day!

I haven't had any kind of a head cold since I moved to the high desert, not one, and that's a long time. Had the flu once (the only year I got a flu shot ). When I lived on the East Coast, I had the sinus/headcold thing all the time.

I remember seeing Corvettes out on car lots like that....we just thought it would never end........ Why is it that some of the most popular Corvettes ever to be made had only a 5 year run........?

The perception is still there. People tell me I'm rich, because I drive a Corvette. They don't have a clue.

Reaffirmed I know nothing about Rolls or their values. He was working on a few...a beat up 91 that a guy bought and only paid about 6k for...a nice 70s vintage worth about 10 grand, and a 60s convertible almost all original worth 500k! It was beautiful, one of six made that year. So, Rolls are like Corvettes...hard to know the value to a lay person. Some cheap, some ridiculous. Matthew

Why is that the only time I get sick, then? Had sinus mess for the third time this past weekend, still lingering today. Started Wednesday night. Why can't there be a vaccine for this stuff like there is flu shots and crap? And to think it was a nice, spring like weekend here, temps in 60s and sunny and I missed all of it
