Good Morning CGs!
Well it's a little chilly this morning. To help matters I got up and took a cold shower. WTF??? Yup, went down and checked the hot water heater and it was out. I'm pissed. I just replaced that G-damn gas control valve two months ago. No reason for it to go out. So I reset it and and it's still heating. Hopefully no more problems. My neighbor came over yesterday and we (he) built the shelves in the garage. Funny thing is he's such a perfectionist when it comes to stuff like this. I don't care because they are, well, garage shelves. He wants me to trim them out and put filler strips in the joints, stain the work top, paint everything....lol. I don't care and he just couldn't understand that. Oh well, there is a ton of storage. More than I even thought there would be. I'll add a garage thread later so you can see. Hope everyone has a great day! Matthew |

Good Mornin'
Matt - I could use a neighbor like yours. Send him over here to help me organize my garage! Well, I'm up this morning and getting ready for the second leg of our travels to Orlando. We are outside of Savannah, GAthis morning at a hotel. Getting ready to leave here around 9 or 10 for Mickey Town. Although we won't be doing Disney this time around. We plan to check out Universal and its new Wizards World of Harry Potter and then just chill out a day or two at one of the east coast beaches. Not sure which one yet. I lived in Orlando for a year during in 1986, it will be interesting to see the changes. I'm also missing the biggest drag race of the year that our club puts on today. Months ago when I planned this vacation I totally spaced on the date. Oh well, I'll see the photos, and my car can't do the strip anyhow. Hope you all have a good day!! Signing off from Savannah, GA |

Greetings! Another car day here - gonna finish detailing up the new car. Should be much easier than the Jeep, which wore me out yesterday, but it looks nice and the Mrs. is happy.
Matt, if you don't already have a shelf running above your garage door, that is a good place to gain some storage room. Safe travels, Don! Have a great day! Meanwhile... A motorcycle patrolman was rushed to the hospital with a ruptured appendix. The doctors operated and, after recovery, assured him that all went well. However, the patrolman kept feeling something pulling at the hairs in his crotch. Worried that it might require a second surgery and the doctors hadn't told him about it, he finally got enough energy to pull his hospital gown up enough so he could look at what was making him so uncomfortable. Taped firmly across his pubic hair and private parts were three wide strips of adhesive tape, the kind that doesn't come off easily.....if at all. Written on the tape in large black letters was the sentence: "Get well soon.....from the nurse in the Corvette you pulled over last week." |

I'm cleaning my garage today.  The shelves I'm putting up are blue, white, yellow and plywood colored. Whatever was laying around the shop. I'd like to have wall to wall cabinets with doors to hide everything but, not today. Finally got one project totally finished, I put new tires on the snowblower yesterday, really glad I spent $34 on a HF tire machine. |

Morning gurus......I've got to change the oil in the wife's car today. Other than that, not much going on. We've had a few drop dead gorgeous days here, supposed to be in the low 90's today and tomorrow. nearly 40* swing as it is 51* right now.
Matt, if you are going to do it, it may as well be done nice. It might help sell the place down the road. Don, have a safe trip...we've never been to Orlando. Brad, I guess I missed the new car, I'm assuming a G8, what color did you end up with? Brian, run hard! Talk to you guys later. |

Tom, I saw that your Royals put a nice whoopin' on the ChiSox yesterday ;-)
I wound up getting another Maxima, since my old one has been good to me. I gave the '04 to my son: http://bradprestonmusic.com/Photos/2010Maxima/index.html |

Oh, the way you were talking, I assumed that you were going to buy a G8. Maximas are really nice too.
Yea, they didn't choke yesterday like they did Friday night. You know, if you really follow a team, you figure out their personality. Looking at the records you'd think that they must really be a bad team. And in reality they are pretty darn good, they just don't get the breaks or they make a mistake at the most inopportune time. |

I talked myself out of a G8 - couldn't find one I wanted anywhere nearby, and read enough negatives to take it off my list. Yeah, every year it looks like the Royals are on the verge of turning it around, and just can't seem to pull it all together. You guys are definitely due. Quote:

I was invaded by a fake virus security trojan horse that was f'n up my start up. It auto loaded and kept running pop ups and fake security threats. Norton 360 got rid of it but now my IE is missing winsock files. I'll restore it later today. Glad I have a Firefox browser back-up or I wouldn't be here.
Lots of rain and heat yesterday. today looks like it might be sunny and hot. No plan yet. See what my wife comes up with. Two more weeks till our fall autocross season kicks off. Three weeks till we cruise Grand Cayman, Cozumal, Belize City and Roatan Island Honduras on board the Carnival Legend. Nice big ship. I'm gonna like that. I love cruises. Relaxing, eating, gambling, touring and going to shows. Hope everybody has a great Sunday. |

Still cleaning the garage, way too much stuff to rearrange.
Finding a place for the big stuff is the problem. But I did find this black thingy. Attach file: 2006-02-16 22-34-24_0001.JPG (0.00 KB) 2006-02-16 22-35-02_0003.JPG (0.00 KB) |

I don't know Bill, on a curve, that would probably pass.
 If it works for you, it's good enough. Yea, there are a couple of scrapers around here who'd probably pick that "junk" up. Actually it looks like it's ready to go back together. |

Good evening guys! Did my last recovery dive today (I hope). Anyother crazy boat party, Michigan Fans doing a tailgate party on their boat and pier. Items lost: 1 Ducane gas grill(don't ask how), 1 money clip with credit cards,
2 Michigan U beer Steins, 1 ankle braclet (mans I don't know on that one) and a set of keys. This one was tough, the harbor was busy getting their last cruises in before Lake Michigan gets violent! Visiability was about 3-4 feet. Guy that owned the ankle bracelet was on board and he was strange. He said he lost it when he took off his spectators. ???? WTF is a spectator!!! My wife told me later that he was a crossdresser and that spectators were womens shoes. Did I miss that week in college. Holyshit Maybe its globel warming! My wife told me that women can sense this, its like radar. |

I'm back to where I was before the Tojans struck. Now I have 4 quarantined viruses and got rid of a proxy setting on the IE browser/Internet Connections. Got rid of a bogus start up file. What else do I have to look forward to Coach?
Multiple scans and restarts. We shall see. I'll let you know. Two of them were Trojan Fake.AV. Picked them up when I went to see what time a movie started at the local cinema online. My kid has a degree in computer science. I hope he knew what he was doing when he cleaned it up. LOL |

The problem is not all Malware is viruses. Norton is not the cure-all, nor are any of the other anti-virus/malware programs. There a host of others. But this one (SAS) seems to be fairly good lately. Using Norton as a continuous scanner is fine. Yet it will not find everything. SAS will run behind Norton without issues. I use it as a manual check once a week. It remains dormant the remainder of the week. |
