Good Morning CGs!
Last day here at my folks' house, should be cutting out soon for the drive home. RR#2 has been running a fever for about a day and a half now, not sure what's wrong exactly. I was able to fix the door switch issues on the vette finally last night. Included using a spacer on the passenger side to make it engage correctly. Hope everyone has a great day! Matthew |

So that got me looking and here I go after church....I was going to take the C5 in then got to thinking.....I better take the Duramax.... More on that later......I better take no credit cards or checks just some cash..... That's it for me...I continue to help Uwoman on the upstairs hanging pics and doing some trim work...she has worked like a dog up there completley redoing 3 rooms...it looks great...pics when its done.... Stay outa trouble Guru's....cooler here today only in mid 80's......Bill get that swamp cooler fired up ur going to need it..... That reminds me....do any of you guys remember those swamp coolers for cars that somehow rolled up on the passenger side window...? I think you put water in them and the car moving turned the fan and moved cooler air into the cabin......I can remember seeing them when I was a kid....help me out here Guru's..... |

Greetings! Looks like I can take the top off the Vette again - since I have to go back to work tomorrow, it'll be sunny and 80's all week, of course. I want a vacation mulligan.
Enjoy your day, Gurus! |

Morning guys....yea Marcus I remember those coolers. We had one that we put in the 57 Fairlaine mom and dad had in the early 60's. Seems like mom used to put ice in it to make it colder. Bill, the HF torque wrenches I wouldn't use for real critical situations, but for checking torque on wheels and battery posts it works ok.

Just another day in paradise....No, Really! Tommy, I dont know if I'll ever leave! The only thing thats not too great right now is the fishing. I've caught 2 blues in 3 days here and tossed them back. 10 inchers. I believe they have to be a foot long to keep, but, I'd have thrown them back anyhow. Yuk, I hate Blue Fish. Wheres the Pompano????
I'll try to catch up this week Tommy, All the family is still here with us so I cant cut out. Maybe my wife and daughter can drop me off and hit Key west while we hang out. Hope to get the chance my friend. alan ...by the way gang, I highly recommend crashing Florida! Tommy Has the right idea. We should plan a Guru conference down here sometime.....go ahead, twist my arm a little harder..Ok I'm In! |

You can come down a couple of times if you like it around here. I have a commitment tomorrow. Monday. I can always come up and we can do lunch up there. My wife has a full schedule this week. 3 day job then a couple of smaller things. You have my number. Call me.

Evening....it's cooled off after getting up to about 88 today. I've opened the windows and turned the AC off. The fresh air is nice. Looks like it "could" drop a little moisture tonight.
