A rather boring honk, but it should be loud and clear.

It should work with key on or off....

Good Morning CGs!

Do you ever get the feeling that you're living the same day over and over?

Resized Image

Well, looks like good ol' Phil saw his shadow this morning....6 more weeks of winter. Did we expect anything less?

Still should be warmer than normal today and for the next few days. Other than that, not much to report.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Matthew

What winter.....? Of course we are supposed to get a big snow tomorrow night. I hear its been a real bad winter in Alaska because the jet stream has stayed north....aren't winters always bad in Alaska?

I am going into Omaha for a trade show today to talk to some venders and look at the new work toys they haul in. I am going to check the weather but I would love to drive the C5 in....a small road trip sounds real good about now. The car is ready to go for the season...how about you guys?

Have a safe day Guru's.......

Howdy! Yesterday's fog was just an appetizer - we've got a real pea-souper this morning. My car is nowhere near ready, but I'll have it back home in a little over a month, so I can get cracking on it. I should probably stock up on liniment, Advil and band-aids in advance.

Have a good day, all!

I hate the groudhog day effect but for me that rarely happens. To much going on for a repeat of the same day over and over again. Sonny boy called me this morning with an IRS related problem. Between him and my wife, they make me feel like I talk to them in a foreign language. I pretty much talk straight forward and simple. They like to complicate everything. As a result I get agitated and frustrated. WTF are you hearing? Happens every day over and over again. KISS. Keep it simple stupid! Now my brain is on overload because they drive me f@(%!~g crazy.


AAAAAaaahhhhhh! Breathe in, exhale, breathe in, now exhale.

Bureaucracies, ordinances and rules give me headache. Man do I have a headache. I think they (agencies) complicate stuff on purpose hoping you'll just give up and go away. The payoff comes to those that persevere.

Howdy Folks..
Happy Friday Eve!

I've had this one memorized for years...

"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: Nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not, unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education alone will not, the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent"

Morning guys...It's another day in paradise.....Oh wait, I'm not in paradise. Kind of grey and cloudy today, I think it is in prep for winter storm approaching.

Kids are pretty blah today. Come to think about it, so am I.

I'm down to less than an hour and a half removing all that to do a new install.
Jon (spectatorracing) has it down to one hour (but he does it a lot on the same car. ).

10 minutes of wet sanding and I found a crack in the C2 door - back to fiberglassing

Total C2 worktime today: 10 minutes.

I gotta find another part to play with.

Went out with the wife and kid for dinner to a local Italian restaurant. Calimari appertizer and a half veggie half meat lovers pizza. My wife likes meatlovers, my son likes veggie and I like both.

Back when I was working at the regular job I lived the same day over and over again about 5600 times. Do I miss my job? No f@(%!~+ way.

Actually, Marcus, I consider building the engine to be one of the easiest jobs on the car. The block, heads & intake will be cleaned up in a tank. All I have to clean up is the oil pan and valve covers. The assembly is easy (fun too).
