Good Morning CGs!

The giant snow storm they predicted didn't really materialize. I think Indiana east of me got it bad, but we didn't. I gassed up the snowblower in the morning to be ready, didn't even need to take it out. No complaints here.

Feeling sluggish this morning and lacking motivation for the day. Hope that gets better. Don't want to feel like Tommy all day. Maybe my wife can call and convince me to get to work

TB - hope you're feeling better after your fall yesterday.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Matthew

Morning guys...yea, my back and neck are much better this morning. I'll keep the appointment for tomorrow though.

More work in the shop, got to find a piece of particleboard to replace the one as the outfeed table for my saw. Among other things today.

A cool start to the day, but it's supposed to start a warming trend, 70 by Saturday.

Hang in there gurus.

Good mawnin


The morning after. There's got to be one, hopefully. Last night Sue and I attended Experience Hendrix, a tribute to the guitar master Jimi. It was anchored by veteran bassist Billy Cox who performed with both Jimi Hendrix Experience and Band of Gypsys. The concert, a guitar shredding masterpiece, did not disappoint. Drummer, Chris Layton backed up number after number as Dweezil Zappa, Eric Johnson, Mato Nanji, Keb Mo and others enetered and left the stage in rotation. Standouts for me were exceptional performances by Zakk Wylde, Kenny Wayne Sheperd and Jonny Lang though there were too many great moments to mention. Vocal performances by Henri Brown and Noah Hunt contributed to the shifting parade of axe men. Noah had Jimi's vocals down better than Jimi did.lol. Buddy Guy with his drummer Tim Austin behind him performed the closing numbers. Tim's a big boy that can really pop the skins. This show at The Seminole Hard Rock theater did not disappoint. When I saw the line up I knew I had to go. Sure glad we did. They just kicked off the Spring 2016 tour so if you can catch them I highly recommend it. Money well spent.

Here's the schedule for those that might be inclined to go.

I see that they will be playing in Chicago but I'm sure Matt is waiting for launch of Justin Bieber's next world tour.

....damn, how come they don't have a tour like that for John Denver....?

Tom Tom Tom......you must be careful in your almost old age....we just aren't as spry as we once were.....be careful........you still have to make some stuff for us!!

Letty.....I have a few recommendations for your next truck........

...hope that helps....

Today I finally have all the paperwork I need to go get my license renewed.....birth certificate and two proofs of address and your drivers license will not count as one of them.....also do not look like a terrorist.....geez....welcome to the new America....

Have a day of contemplation Guru's and never forget big brother is watching....always watching.....

SUNNY,WINDY, AND COLD IN THE NATIONS THIS MORNING.

GOT TO START GETTING MY STUFF TOGETHER FOR THE "INCREDIBLE SHRINKING GUNSHOW" THIS WEEKEND. THAT WON'T BE HARD BECAUSE I'VE GOT NOTHING TO PUT ON THE TABLE :-) MAYBE THE OIL BUST WILL SEND IN SOMEBODY WITH SOMETHING INTERESTING TO SELL.

As the late economist Milton Friedman noted, freedom and prosperity are not natural conditions for human society. In most places and in most times of history, humanity has lacked freedom and lived in squalor.

Howdy! I was hoping to wind down for the rest of the week, but that ain't happening - been busy since the git-go.

Sounds like a great show, Tommy.

Hope you feel better soon, Tom.

Have a good day, all!

Back in from the shop. Found a new piece of particleboard, I doubt it will hold me up either. Spraying finish again, this time on a bench for a local recreation center.

Got word last night that a member of our mens group from up north passed away. Not real familiar with all the members from up there, I asked which one he was, as I was thinking it to be, an older member, by the same name, Dad or an uncle. No it was the 31 year old that I did know....crap! Puts things in perspective. There's no guarantee you have tomorrow, no matter what your age is. So have a funeral to attend Saturday morning.

31 ...... He was just warming up to life. Sad really. Everyday is a gift. Lucky to live in the present.

Wind woke me up @ 3am

Hope the big storm didn't cause any damage for anyone

Sorry to hear, Tom - very true. My MIL's neighbor's son-in-law, 42 years old, went to a job interview a couple days ago in the morning - he got the job, and decided to stop at a restaurant for lunch to celebrate. He choked on a piece of steak - nobody noticed until he was turning blue, since he made no sounds and didn't do anything that would attract attention. They got him to the hospital, but he didn't make it. You just never know.

Holy cow.....that's horrible....very sad!

Hey looks like Joe's old C4 is on the front page over on CF.....that was a good looking car.....

31... wow... you never know. Sorry for the loss.
Hope you are feeling better soon after the fall as well Tee.
And that truck jeep hummer looking thing! What IS that?
I think I need a tank with huge spikes and lights and sirens on it, with wrecker capabilities. then I could tow myself home. Kinda like Mater....
Sadly, the closest Hendrix experience for me is Nashville and it's apparently tonight. Wonder why not Memphis?

I'm seriously thinking about burning my C4 to the ground.

Still having opti problems, Bill?

Feeling darn good today. Back and neck are almost normal. I'll still keep the appointment for tomorrow.

31 years young...very sad and too early.

Marcus - that is absolutely Joe's old C4. That was a beautiful car with very nice mods. I haven't talked to him much since he got the new one.

Quote:

Surprising. It's been a really good car up until now. All it ever needed was oil changes and tire pressure adjustments. You'll figure it out Bill. If you don't I'm sure you know someone that will.

Quote:

Yea, a new one daily.

Change to a brand new Opti, drive 4 miles, get a low resolution, distributor, code 16 but no SES light like it's supposed to.

Next day, get an SES light, code 34, MAP sensor, put in a new one.

Then clear the code 16, drive 20 likes, no code, drive another, no code, another 29 , no code , lift the hood, smell antifreeze (on the side frame rail but can't see where it's coming from. Hose it down and let it dry overnite.

Next day, run it up to 200 water, radiator's blown.

An the code 16 comes back AND now it won't clear using the dash buttons like it should.

Yeah Bill....that would be frustrating......you won't have those problems with the 67.......but you will figure it all out......cause you are a C4 Guru......

Yes I see him over on CF quite a bit in the C6 forum. I think I mentioned that I went down to Kansas to meet him a year or two ago....nice guy!
Loves his GS.....
