Should be another nice day here, around 63 for the high. Possible showers later this afternoon. Of course it's still only 40 when I walk out in the morning, and now the vette has no heat so it's a little chilly. I will drop off the rotors from the truck today to be cut. After I took off the fronts, they showed a lot of rust on the back of the rotor hat, so I hope they're ok. I'm gonna ask my buddy who cuts them what he thinks. Hope everyone has a great day! Matthew

So now I'll go back to my local store and have them match that. I'm going with the yokohama yk580s...supposed to be the new great tire.

The past few days I took a look around at what we have ammassed through the years. I remember as a kid growing up our family's financial distress. I dreamed of having nice cars and envied the guys who's dad had bought them a new GTO, Road Runner, Barracuda, Challenger, Camaro, Mustang or a host of other vehicles. As an enlisted man in the USAF I dreamed of having a good job that payed well and had good benefits. I dreamed of owning a home. I dreamed of having a bigger and nicer home. As I looked around the other day I realized all my dreams had come true. I am the guy I dreamed of being as a kid. The best thing of coming from the have-nots is the feeling of appreciation and satisfaction that comes from goal achievement. Keep plugging away and your dreams will come true. It just might take you a lifetime.

I hope I get a chance to mow the lawn over the next couple days or it'll be a foot long - looks like lots of rain is coming over the next week. They mentioned the "S" word, too, but I'm going to ignore that. Bill may want to get the house cleaned after he finishes up his project: http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines ... e-scrutiny-in-texas-city/ Have a good day, yawlz!

I got home a little bit ago from the final decorating for prom tomorrow night. My azz is dragging, but we are done...until tomorrow night, we clean the whole mess up after the dance. Not sure if I'll drive the Vette to prom or not, weather-wise is supposed to be OK temperature wise, but the wind is really supposed to blow. It was perfect today, sunny, mid 70's and very light breeze. I'm headed for bed.
