And the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin.

Did some yard work yesterday, mainly spraying weeds. Mulching is on the agenda. Lots and lots of mulching. Which reminds me. I better take some before pics. Tonight, Whoo Ho! Passover seder. Tomorrow I'm not sure what's planned. Guess I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

You can have fame, money and power but ......

I also see Thomas Kincade the Painter of Light passed away yesterday...he was 54. We have several of his pics hanging here at the old yellow house....

Good Morning CGs!

I was a busy beaver yesterday! Worked almost 12 hours straight on every project imaginable. Started in the morning with sanding and painting a small repair I did in the bedroom wall. Then I hung two pictures in each of the kids' rooms. Then I painted some patches in the hall/stairs that I did earlier. Finished that, went outside and cut the grass and turned over the soil in the garden (about 4 ft x 30 ft). Goofed off on here for a few minutes and went in the garage to work on the vette. A few trips to the parts store were involved, but I finally did the master cylinder conversion on the car! That also included bleeding the brakes (and two rounded off bleeder screws) and a test drive (nice!). I also changed the IAC motor while I was at it. Didn't finish up until about 7:15 pm. Got cleaned up, washed the kids, ate some dinner, and sat down to relax. Then it was bedtime. Man what a day.

I'm up and at 'em now, though, after a good nights sleep. I've gotta leave in a few minutes for a crossfit class (should be fun) and later I'll try to repair the broken gas line on the weed whacker. Not sure what else is on the agenda. Maybe more car projects

Hope everyone has a great day!

A DNBFS day, headed to Summit Racing for a combined Solo and Time Trials tech day & BBQ.

I'll try and be nice to the autocrossers.

Howdy! Gloomy day here, supposed to start raining soon. I got a lot of my outdoor chores done yesterday, so no biggie. We have a bunch of family coming over tomorrow, so I imagine my honey-do list will start growing any minute.

Hava a good day, yawlz!

Good morning guys....I stayed up last night to watch the season opener of the Royals (played on the west coast), it wasn't over until almost midnight (they lost). So by the time I got into bed it was after midnight, slept in until 9 this morning. I have a funeral to go to this morning a co-worker's father, a very nice gentleman.

Not much on the agenda today. Well I got to go get ready, I'll check back in later.

Ya....TBee I fell asleep in the big chair watching the same game....pitching was good for both teams early on....

Marcus....did you get those new washers put in the seats? I'm thinking about doing that today.

Got the new washers put in and now no more "rocking seat".

I was busy today already. This morning after I got up I drove over to the crossfit gym. Did the crossfit workout (tough) and when that was over I stuck around and did some strength training. I was beat. Stopped by the parts store for a rocker switch and came home. Started working on the vette again. I wanted to inspect/correct my neutral safety switch. It wasn't working. I pulled it out and inspected it, found it ok, so I reinstalled it and recalibrated it per FSM instructions...works great now! During that process, I installed my o/d disengage switch. I want to be able to turn off o/d since I have some cam surge in 4th gear at low rpms. I used the fsm and a voltmeter to figure out how it works, clipped a wire and installed the switch. Based on my electrical testing it should work fine but haven't gotten the real world road test done yet. After that I planted some flowers for the wife and ate lunch, then back outside to check the brakes on the xterra. Turns out my rotors are within turning spec - yeah! I'm gonna order some new pads anyway and get them turned to solve my pulsating brake pedal.

Whew.

Check out my new thread on the m/c conversion.

Oh, yeah, I even washed the vette...amazing!

Fun day, did nothing but talk about racing for 5 hours.

Had a good turnout, about 80 crossers and track cars got annual techs. Saves me a boatload of time at the track.

The burgundy C3 is supercharged.

Tom my drivers seat is shot....after 87K it is not getting it done and I am using a thin foam pillow as an aid to help me drive. Soooo I want to send in my seats to get them rebuilt and a new set of seat covers like you have only in black and firethorne. With everything done I am thinking around 1800 bucks for both seats at Mid America.

That is why I haven't done them yet I will wait till this winter to do all that......if I can save up enough moolaa.
