Good Morning CGs!

Had a good nights rest last night with no babies waking up in the middle of the night. Talked to my wife on the phone this morning and she said rugrat #2 was up every other hour looking for his pacifier and crying. I think his teeth are bothering him.

It's supposed to rain the next few days. I'll be driving the suv to work and see what the gas mileage looks like. I know it's better than the vette...lol. But I drive 25 miles one way to work, so when you start adding it up, at the end of the week/month it's a lot when you don't have a lot of fuel efficiency.

No news other than that.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Matthew

Good morning Guru's! I fondly remember those days Matt, my wife says I shouldn't because I slept through them. I think I would wake up occasionally because of her grumbling though.

Looks cloudy out but the work continues. Got some very bad news from my accountant about our taxes yesterday. I still can't believe how much he says we owe. Something is wrong somewhere so he is sending me the stuff so I can look it over. I hope I can find something wrong. Either way I am going to fire him because he made this big of mistake, or that they did not see this coming and we could have done something to avoid it.

Sorry mini rant. I don't mind rendering unto Ceaser what is Ceasers, but there is no point in throwing money at him when you can legally avoid it. More later.

Still waiting on parts for the Vette. So much time spent on this EGR deal. I did call TPiS to tell them they need to change what they are doing so others don't have to do this. I don't know if it registered or not.

Have a great day Guru's, it's all good!

Greetings! Don't remind me about taxes - I owe a nice older C4's worth. Drove the Vette again today - it will be the warmest day here since Nov. 10. On the way in I decided I really don't like the exhaust at all, so I think the stock system will be spiffed up and reinstalled - ughhhhhhhh!

Enjoy your day, Gurus!

Had to drive my Alternate vehicle to work today due to defective roller rocker.

Sorry to hear that the tax man is putting the squeeze on everyone. Wife and I had to pay a couple hundred in state taxes this year too.

I can't wait for the weekend now. Talked to my buddy last night and decided that we are going to check out the Charlotte Auto fair Saturday. Should be a good time. Won't be driving the Vette though.

Supposed to be a nice day.

Hope everyone has a good day!

I'm doing more tile work today, the wet saw's out on the deck, it's going to be 39*, windy and snowing.
Cutting tiles with the water spraying all over is going to be sooooo much fun.

I was back in for a bit and remembered the other day when I Googled, Corvette EGR tube, the whole thread came up on the EGR tube thread I had just started on Guru. Can they do that? I was suprised to see it. Is anything off limits to those guys. Still I suppose it is good advertising for the Guru nation.

Brad and Marcus. If you guys are having to pay so much to Uncle Sam you guys must not be losing enough money.

Matt .... I miss those days of my sons early childhood. OK, I'm over missing it now.

I was up and out early before the sun came up. Got home early too. Made it back home by 10:00. Think I'll take a short snooze then pack. Later I'll do a little grocery shopping for the pets so the sitter can feed them while we're gone. Cost for the petsitter is $36 a day for two visits. With a house full of pets, when we want to play, we have to pay. At least we have a good and reliable sitter to rely on.

Have a productive day. I'll be away tomorrow through Tuesday. Back-up HCF protocol is in effect.

Morning guys.....I'm thinking about going a different direction with my accountant too. I really do all the work and all he does is punch in the numbers and let the computer do the figuring, tells me how much I owe, then sends me a bill (which, by the way, has increased $50 every year. I'm paying three times what the original cost was, and the work he does has not increased by that amount).

Brad, sorry you don't like the Corsa sound. I doubt you'll have any trouble selling it, albeit at a loss no doubt. Marcus, I have done that too, only to find the thread I started is high on the list. Matt, when I was in your position (with little ones), I made the deal with my wife; You get up with them when they are babies (I couldn't do much anyway as she breast fed), then I would get up with them after that time. Bad deal for me, as I was up more in the middle of the night with them as they grew up than she did while they were babies. Bill, that doesn't sound like too much fun, but hopefully you'll get it done. Let me know when your package arrives, should be any day now.

It's Thursday, and my beginning woodworking class was absolutely brain dead this morning. We have a MS track meet here today, and I am running off the Boys Discus throw. At least the weather is going to be nice, 70's and light wind 10-20mph.

OK, this is F'n ridiculous, trying to cut tile in a snow storm. Everytime I go out to use the wet saw, the fence is frozen to the saw base.

Seems like a good time to spend the rest of the day in the casino.
