Good Morning CGs!

It's Wednesday. The weekend is in sight. Still far off in the distance.....but in sight.

Last night I loaded up the motor into the bed of my BIL's pickup truck. Tossed the rest of the parts in the back seat. I'll get down to the shop tonight after work to drop it all off. I'm actually getting excited about it because I couldn't sleep last night. I'll still have to iron out the details with Scott, but he wants to see the block. Hopefully I don't break the bank too much!

Other than that it's rain here today. Ugh. Yesterday hit almost 80, I think today is 52!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Matthew

What details? You want some flat head things that go up and down inside the circle, you want a long rod with eliptical lobes, some openy/closey stuff with high tension slinkys and some good strong metal sticks, then some glue and cork that will hold it all together. There are generally three price points. Expensive, very expensive and "Do I look like a millionaire?" Good luck Matt.

I'm so busy lately. I could be even busier if I wanted to start a lawn service. Just don't feel up to it. Then you have bi-weekly commitments. I like being uncommitted in both senses of the word. My wife keeps me busy enough as it is. I'm still looking to find quality cruise time in the cars and the boat. Soon enough ..... soon enough .... Just a few more things on the calendar.

Greetings! I'm in line to possibly pick up a set of used Corsa's - we'll see if that works out. Gonna take the Mrs. to see Bon Jovi tonight, so I should be popular around the house for a little while.

Have a good one!

Hey guys, I was busy yesterday afternoon and evening, with three different meetings. The main one being the financial adviser and filling out the paperwork to send in for retirement. Today, I've been following up on some of the stuff for that.

The weather is still windy 25-45mph and much cooler today highs in the low 50's.

I still need to finish painting the trim on the storage sheds and the wood for the cabinets I need to build showed yesterday. And I have a church men's group meeting tonight. So I am still busy. Thank god for school otherwise I wouldn't get much rest.

Greetings, Gurus!

Already conducted a training this morning, now I'm settled down for a couple conference calls.

Bon Jovi sounds like a fun concert!

Happy Wednesday!

If you take a megrim to change spark plugs in an LT1 you are likely to get a megrim.

How's that?

It makes megrim to think of so many things I need to do and how many things I have actually finished.
