Good Morning CGs!

How is everyone feeling today. I'm great because it's Friday for me (I believe for Johnny, too!).

Got a workout in last night and hung some drywall. Not a bad night overall. But I was still all amped up after I finished that and ate, so I didn't fall asleep until after 11. Phone woke me up at 5. Not quite as much sleep as I like, but oh well.

My BIL and cousin are supposed to stop over again tonight and give me a hand with the drywall again. We work pretty well, only a little bit of time stopping to BS, so that's good. Should be finished hanging in no time.

Hope everyone has a great day!

THURSDAY JOKE OF THE DAY:

A little construction humor:

"Here's a truly heart-warming story about the bond formed between a little 5 year old girl and some construction workers that makes you believe that we CAN make a difference when we give a child the gift of our time..."

A young family moved into a house, next door to a vacant lot. One day a construction crew turned up to start building a house on the empty lot.

The young family's 5-year-old daughter naturally took an interest in all the activity going on next door and spent much of each day observing the workers.

Eventually the construction crew, all of them gems-in-the-rough, more or less adopted her as a kind of project mascot. They chatted with her, let her sit with them while they had coffee and lunch breaks, and gave her little jobs to do here and there to make her feel important.

At the end of the first week they even presented her with a pay envelope containing a couple of dollars.

The little girl took this home to her mother who said all the appropriate words of admiration and suggested that they take the two dollar "pay" she had received to the bank the next day to start a savings account.

When they got to the bank, the teller was equally impressed and asked the little girl how she had come by her very own pay-check at such a young age. The little girl proudly replied, "I worked last week with the crew building the house next door to us."

My goodness gracious," said the teller, "and will you be working on the house again this week, too?"

The little girl replied, "I will if those assholes at Home Depot ever deliver the fucking sheet rock..."

LOL!

I heard a true story on the radio this morning - a guy was a guest at some fancy country club. He stepped up to the first tee and hit a wicked hook into the parking lot. There was a loud smack, and a car alarm started to go off. So he went back to the clubhouse and was apologizing profusely. Turned out he had hit is own car - LMAO!

Bringing the Vette home today, looking forward to taking her for a little spin :-D

Howdy!

Glad it's Friday Eve. It's been 'one of those weeks' where if something can go wrong, it will! X2 This is becoming wayyy to common!
Y'all habba good'ern!! :

Good morning! Well, so much for all that bad weather I was concerned about last night. Half the storm went 30 miles north and the rest went 30 miles south! Good things happen when you live right? Yea sure.
Going with the wife for doctor visit.
Have a good day.

Good Morning Gurus!

Not much going on today. I think I will play a lot of Midnight Club: Los Angeles on the PS3. After nearly 50 hours of play, and jumping through a lot of hoops, I should unlock the Audi R8 today. Yeah... I'm a geek. What of it?

Enjoy your day, folks!

That storm Joeld mentioned did not miss us. Dead center over the house, but no damages at all. It was a weird one, 60 mph straight line winds and rain coming down sideways, yet it lasted about 5 minutes and then back to blue skies.
Only project for today is to install a new storm door at the back door into the garage. That should be easy (famous last words).

good morning gang. well i got a nibble on the 89 coupe. the guy is coming over sat to look it over. hope i can set the hook and reel him in. refinanced the house and signed the papers last nite. got a 5% rate and 10yr note and cut 3 yrs off of what i originally had to pay. instead of 13 yrs i now owe 10 yrs and the payment only jumped $30.00 a month.
well have a good day gurus.
ps whos in charge of posting the vette stars for your avatar. they need to give me some more. lol

Good morning to all. A little laughter for some of us older guys, now remember the era

Remember the Original Hollywood Squares and its comics, this may bring a tear, or may not, to your eyes.

A. Paul! Lynde: Point and laugh

Gotta love Paul Lynde. Thanks Sweet90, that's the kind of humor I grew up with in my home. It's been cold here lately, and outside it's been not too bad though. Me and the queen are having a dispute about fiscal spending. I want to help stimulate the economy (stuff for the vette) and she wants to give it all to the to the big banks( who just got a bailout). GRRRRRRR. Oh well, life goes on. I wish I had something funny to add but I got nothing. Thanks for the laugh.

with a little luck(not really luck i guess) we'll have a new house soon. we've accepted the owner's counter offer, just need to sign the papers tonight to get the ball rolling. already pre-approved for the mortgage and have the down payment. luckily i've got a good realtor working for me(he's a longtime friend and customer of mine) helping us through the process and making sure it all gets done right.

soon i get my own garage, with room for fun

Congrats! Exciting times.

Want to buy mine too? Just take over payments...

Got an email from DC; winner announced in the C6 thread contest giveaway. Haven't logged in there since before Christmas...




I clicked. Contest open to all, and posted in the C6 tech/general.

That's a good place for it. Yup - uh-huh. If you own the forum, you can post it where ever you want.

Winner's probably a good guy too. Good FOR him.

And I have zero interest in C6 tech/general.

Wow, great chat today! I got hit by that storm too, very strong winds and rain but only lasted 5 mins. Anyway, got half the day off which gave me time to get my tire put on the bike, go to home depot and get a vent for the bathroom and we picked up a sample of tile which is what we will more than likely get.

Ever seen these pics before?

Ever seen a web page that DIDN'T have one of 'em?

They were classic, indeed, just a sample of a generation that gave us a lot to laugh at. Sadly, they're disappearing at an alarming rate.

I got my baby home and tucked away in the garage. The tires were a bit lumpy after sitting for almost 4 months, but it was a fun drive home anyway. Felt great to hear it rumble to life. Now it'll sit for another month or two, but at least I can get started on my projects.

Hey guys, how was everyone's day? I just finished up with my cousin and BIL on the drywall for the evening. Hopefully the BIL and I can get it 95% done except for a few lingering spots tomorrow. Then we'll call the taper to come in. It's coming together nicely.

Pat - congrats on the house!

Sweet - very funny stuff, thanks for contributing.

See everyone tomorrow for HCF.

Matthew
