Good Morning CGs!

Back to work...all of you! Another weekend that was probably too short? Not for me, I was at work anyway, but I'm looking forward to my days off coming up.

It's supposed to be like 92 and muggy today. My wife is really getting sick of the weather lately. She's in a stage where no matter where she is or what position she's in..laying, standing, sitting, she's uncomfortable. I think she's ready to burst. I feel bad for her. On the other hand I'm enjoying the summer

So how was everyone's weekend?

Hope everyone has a great day!

Matthew

I spent friday, saturday and sunday at Carlisle, and boy am I shot. Met some great forum members. Mike, Wayne, Ron, Kevin, Ed and lots of other great people. Very sunburned, as the weather (for a change) was great. No monsoons, or tornados this year.
A little drama at the end of sunday though.
My normal gig is to sit in a chair (by gate 1) and watch everyone rush out into the traffic jam.
A beer or 2, and some french fries (I mean freedom fries) finish the weekend off nicely.
Anyhow, the whole place goes into a frantic lockdown.
I understand that someone held up a vendor at gunpoint!!
After about an hour, they (the cops) let us out 1 at a time.

Oh well, off to the doctor for a check up, and some shots for my trip to China.

Jeeeez, wacky end to Carlisle, that is a bummer!

Monday is off to a great start. They turn the air conditioning off over the weekend here at the office, and it smells like someone left some roadkill in a wastebasket on Friday. Delightful.

Have a good one, everybody!

I didn't want to bring that up, figured maybe there was a vowel shortage in Chi-town.

Enjoy it while you can. I have a feeling this winter you'll be pretty busy.

I'm thinking labor day is coming up for Mat's wife. When is the baby due? Do you know if it's a girl or boy? I can remember when Ultrawoman was just about full term she was very uncomfortable. Tommy it is an age old question, I have gone to the Jewelry well so many times I have been told no more. Gift certificates at her favorite store is always safe and smart. My wife turns 50 next April and I am already thinking about that.

Went to a Corvette only show in Lincoln yesterday. I took the 90 in but did not enter the show. Some real nice C5's and 6's on display. Not many 1's or 2's to be seen and only about 5 or 6 C4's. I had some nice talks with several owners and spread the Guru word around. Then went to the book store for awhile and had a nice cruise home. Got some weird noise coming from the alternater or the air pump that I need to take care of.

Hope you all have a profitable week, try and spread some encouragement around, it's a commodity that's in short supply.
