Soooo I see the Huskers drew Georgia for the Capital One bowl in Orlando.....can that be right? Georgia just took Alabama deep into the 4th quarter in the title game there......could be trouble for the Huskers who are a mess right now.....
Big article in the new Car and Driver on the C7. They have renderings that they say are the car and are what we pretty much have been seeing. Interesting is the fact that all the body pieces will be Carbon Fiber since the cost to produce has come down....8 speed auto and a 7M.....splendor interior with some good seats.....the car is still working off the C5 base design with a ton of improvements....Shows what a huge step the C5 was in my opinion. The car is going to be good I think....and the tailights are not gonna be round. Michilin run flats will replace Goodyears as the stock tire....which is a great move..... It's still all spec but we will see in a month or so... Warm here today again and lots of work to do so better get going....have a good day today everybody.. |

Hidey-ho! As usual for a Monday, my interest in answering the alarm clock could be measured in nanometers. It's gonna be in the low 50's today. I wish I could say the same.
Have a good day, Gurus! |

People along the river here lucked out. The rain in Truckee, Ca. turned to snow midday so the final inch of what would have been rain clung to the trees and ground.
The Truckee River (runs thru the center of Reno) crested at flood stage but started to recede right away, downtown bridgws reopened in the afternoon and nobody's house got wet. |

I assume it is the metal one - they said it's the one Barris has owned all along.

Usta be on the firewall. Forward seat reinforcements. They were just too much of a PIA to try and clean up on the car, they're held in with solid rivets. And the undersides are really rusty. So they come off, get bead blasted, repainted and put back in with solid rivets. 2 parts - 2 1/2 hours labor. Attach file: 2006-03-11 02-27-20_0002.JPG (0.00 KB) |

I'm home to eat some lunch (chicken) and let the doggies out then feed the critters. After that I'm going back to the hospital. Surgery is running late. By the time I get back she should be in the recovery room. She's spending the night in the hospital so I'll be home late. Man the house is quiet. The house is either too noisy or too quiet. Never seems to be just right. |

Damn, I shoulda saved it and put it on the website. Goggles and a respirator on, spraying simple green up on the trans tunnel. It is supprising that SG is melting the ancient gear lube on the tunnel from the trans rear seal. In the pic the black thingy is not a Chihuahua's asshole, it's where the emergency brake cable comes out. The little brackets with the pointy ears hold the trans tunnel insulation up. Gotta find a way to get the rust off them without drilling more rivets out. The rear seat reinforcements (square) and seatbelt anchors are gonna be a pain, the wood beam that the car sits on obscures the seat belt anchors. Dirty day.......I think I need a casino beer.

Wow, that's some progress Bill. Looking good. Simple green is pretty potent stuff actually. Tommy, mojo to the wife...and to you.
We made it home from Wichita, just a little under 4 hours. Dr. said everything was good. The sharp pains I experienced were scar tissue pulling away from the new knee parts...very common. And was very impressed with the soft tissue swelling or the receding swelling of said tissue. Said I didn't have to come in, in May now either, so cancelled that appointment. Just wants to see me May 2014. Sets my mind at ease. |

Best wishes for your wife, Tommy.
Nothing much here today, started off cloudy then the sun came out and it was a nice 71 and sunny. Wish the entire winter was like this. Supposed to cool off and rain all day tomorrow. Hope y'all had a great Monday... |

For your edification, the banana preservation tip I posted a while back seems to be helping on the bananas we got last Thursday:
http://snapguide.com/guides/keep-bananas-fresh-longer/ I figure if I can stretch the banana budget a little, then maybe a C7 will be in my garage sooner. |
