Good Morning CGs!

Up early, hope to get a little work done before the kids get up. Today's plans are a haircut and later a bday party for our cousin's boy. Always something going on.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Matthew

Geez that POW vid was hard to watch when you just woke up....oh the humanity....

Today is clean up day around the house. Its still not right after the Christmas fun and games and the laundry room is scary....soooo....I will apply myself to doing some domestic chores today.

More Corvette driving will be in order as long as the weather holds. High of 55 today and 18 tomorrow.

Probably head into church later also....would be fun to take the GS but will have to see what the weather is doing.

That's it.....pretty boring around here......

Sorry about your Gophers Brad....they tried hard to win.

Time for Breakfast, Guru's.....have a great day...

Greetings! Indeed, the conventional hand-warmers are far superior. An errant phone call and the rumble of garbage trucks interrupted my slumber. Oh well, there is plenty to do and never enough time to do it.

Enjoy your Saturday, Gurus!

Dats Kool Bill.....I love those old early 60's vids especially when the Ford is getting beat....

On another note...I see A&E has blinked and Papa Phil is back on the show. Something about DD being the biggest thing to ever hit A&E. Money talks so when the rest of the cast said if daddy ain't here none of us are here....things changed in a hurry.......now there is tolerance for you...

Joe Blow in the Impala seems to have a better grip on things, he won twice lol
Something about all that commercial gave me the tickles...
Dreary day here but was supposed to be sunny. I'm contemplating taking the tree and al this other mess down and getting the place back in order, dishes need done, laundry needs done,ceiling fans need vacuumed, I've had some extreme fatigue and hurting low back really bad the last few days though. Also have a new light for the kitchen. The bulb in there, one of those twisty things started making frying sounds and smoking so I shut the light off. Took out the bulb, then of course dropped and broke it. Bought a new one, same result. so I have a new fixture to put up. Yay me. Still need to air up the Vette tires, did get the tonneau cover back on the truck amid a bunch of foul language yesterday afternoon though. (Envision a tiny ant with a large piece of potato chip in the wind....)

Starting with tonight, if you add up the high and low temperatures thru New Years Day night, the total comes to -57. The Weather Weenie is going to freeze to death.

Morning guys...I was up early and went out to where my sis-in-law lives (Rosie's sister). Rosie, her sis and the two oldest girls went for a walk. Sis' hubby and I made breakfast for everyone else who was there, well Bill made the breakfast, I did all the cleanup. Looks to be a glorious day ahead. We are now back at the in-laws house waiting for our daughter/family to stop by on their way home. Big cool down coming tomorrow.

Those old videos are pretty cool. Back then you could order the 409 and a 4 speed in a 4 door Impala. or the 390/4spd in the Galaxie.

I once saw a stock 65 Impala with a factory 409 in it. That would be rare to have. They must have had some left over before the 396's were installed......


I love it that they are using drag racing to sell family sedans......did the ford have 3 2's?

Snowblower is done. New paddles and a spark plug should do the trick. Cleaned up the house a bit, too. Time for a haircut, soon, helping the rugrat with homework now.

I think the 390 was available with 2 x 4. Yea, I've seen a couple of 65 409 Impalas. The 409 was still used until the 396 was released later in the production year.

That's the amazing thing about Liberals (like those running A&E).

Money always trumps Politically Correct

That commercial is rather interesting since in that time frame, GM had banned any kind of racing. (While they handed out racing parts thru the back door).

Evening guys...big day here. I'll be driving the Grand Marque home tomorrow. Brother called this morning and asked if I'd give them $1500 for it, I told him "You bet". So they brought it over and I wrote them a check. We took it over to the next town for church tonight and she drives and rides like a dream. I'll be driving it home tomorrow.
