Howdy! The forecast was for 100% chance of rain, and so far they're right on the money. Delightful :-P
Figures, poor guy makes it to 101 and a woman still does him in: http://www.ktla.com/news/landing/ktla ... nk-elderly-man-hit-killed,0,6205661.story Hope y'all have a nice dry day ;-) |

Nuts can't get the link to work Brad.....anyway where was I .....yesterday I was listening to ESPN radio on XM and heard an ad for new 2012 Corvettes for only 39,900. I was amazed to hear a Corvette ad and the price they are quoting. I never know if its ok to post links from non Guru support businesses so I will just tell you it's Columbus Vette or Coughlin Corvette in Ohio.....I can post the link if someone gives me the green light.....I just don't want to be banned from the Guru Online Car Show...
Have a good day Guru's....... |

Good morning guys....That looks like a good price Marcus. Still more than I can afford, but for a new Corvette....
I had a pretty good night after a tough day. PT in about an hour. I am gaining slowly. Swelling, on the knee, is doing better. Tissue around the incision is beginning to return to normal and sensation returning. |

I'll believe that price for a 1LT coupe. By the time they tack on all the various incentives, they should be close to 40k. |

Good Morning CGs!
RR #1 decided today we would go out to breakfast so we just got back. Gonna get a haircut then cut the grass and set up the kid's water slide. Little projects to do throughout the day. Finished the neighbor's computer hdd yesterday around 11pm. Not hard work, just time consuming. But I was able to walk away and let it fix itself checking on it occassionally. Enjoy the nice weather Gurus. Hope everyone has a great day! Matthew |

Just got back from my semi annual heart health visit. Numbers were good except my sugar was 104. Cut the carbs and sodas I was told. Also got my routine quit smoking warning. Ya, ya, I know. Just put em down. After 45 years of holding a coffin nail it's not as easy as you think. I'm a hard wired smoker. Yes it's going to take years off my life. Hopefully the years I don't want to be around for. Every decade is a blessing for me and I already cheated The Reaper as it is. Who knows . I could live to be 101 and get hit by a car. I always loved the tales of the guy that drank whiskey everyday and lived to 98 or whatever age. Of course for every one of him there are 1,000,000 that died from it. My worst case scenario is I'll end up like Capt. Pike. Sorry about the ad but ......... |

I'm gonna guess you didn't watch the interview with the Greek cardiologist about e-cigarettes I posted a few days back ;-) You should give one a try - just buy a cheap disposable (with the knowledge that it is crap) to get a feel for whether or not you think an e-cig might have a chance of working for you. If it doesn't float your boat, you're only out a few bucks. If it does, I'd be more than happy to answer any questions and point you in the right direction for good equipment and supplies. |

e-cigs
http://health.usnews.com/health-news/ ... a-health-hazard-fda-warns Might be good for a smoker to switch but what about the young people? First an e-cig, then a regular cigarette, next a joint, then adding powders to the joint, then shooting up. These things are dangerous and may actually result in addiction to heroin. |

Well, back from PT....all my trepidation was for naught. Even though I felt I had a bad day yesterday and felt like I had regressed, I hadn't. Actually gained in my motion. Feeling good again about my progress.
Bill, you are probably very close on your projected costs on the supplemental sticker to add $10-12K. Like Tommy, those "out the door" prices are way better, but few dealerships accommodate such things. |
