Good Morning CGs!
Well, hopefully some of you got to sleep in to help make up for the lost hour. Me personally, no such luck. Up and at 'em early like usual. Strange weather here. Should be around 40 today and they say maybe mid 50s tomorrow which would be amazing. We have a bday party to go to later today after work. For our cousin's 1 yr old. Should be a lot of fun. Hope everyone has a great day! Matthew |

Morning guys...worked on that stupid computer until 12:30 am, then decided to set clocks and go to bed, all of the sudden, it's 1:30 and I seemed to get more tired. Oh, well, I'll recoup. Still have to figure out the sound card on that computer, got everything else back up and running. Above freezing already, I think they said upper 50's today and near 70 tomorrow.

Good morning gang.
Like Matt we have sunshine today and should reach upper 30's and lower 40's with tomorrow maybe getting to 50. Maybe we have turned the corner towards spring. Word of the Day Sunday, March 09, 2014 synergy\ SIN-er-jee \, noun; 1.the interaction of elements that when combined produce a total effect that is greater than the sum of the individual elements, contributions, etc.; synergism. 2.Physiology, Medicine/Medical. the cooperative action of two or more muscles, nerves, or the like. 3.Biochemistry, Pharmacology. the cooperative action of two or more stimuli or drugs. Origin: Synergy has been around in English since the mid-1600s and comes from the Neo-Latin synergia , which in turn, came from the Greek meaning "working together." |

Does anybody really know what time it is? Let's see spring ahead fall behind......don't seem natural somehow...
My back continues to improve I did take the GS into church last night and the heated seats were good on my back. It did take me about 15 minutes to get out though.... Maybe 60 here today and 70 tomorrow which I can get into... today I have chores around the acreage and should start thinking about servicing the mowers pretty soon. I am not putting the snow blower away yet though.... Have a good day off Guru's....... |

Good morning, all! Pretty day today in the Philadelphia area, though not as warm as yesterday. Carted the parents to church this morning in Frankie the Impala and then took the car to the car wash, which it needed badly. We did take the 1985 out for a quick jaunt on Saturday afternoon. Lauren ran well - I'm beginning to feel more confident about the Lincoln Highway trip later this spring. |

Hidey-ho! A personal best sleap-in of the year for me. Oh sure, the clocks were set an hour ahead, but let's not quibble about semantics. It's supposed to be near 50 today and tomorrow, so I suppose I should try to knock something off my list.
I was at a race at Riverside back in 1977 - all I can remember is the sound of the Can-Am's, and also thinking that the area must have some of the worst air quality on the planet. Have a good day, yawlz! |

I was getting fuel in the GS yesterday at the Shell station and there was a white C4 there with red interior also filling.....very nice car with 48K on it.....I asked him what year and he said 91....and I said last year of the L98 and he just smiled....I looked inside and my eyes rested on the little key in the console area that can reduce power and I looked back at him and he was still smiling...and I was also at that point....He had just bought him a very clean ZR1.
If I were ever to own another C4 that is what I would like to have. Did not ask him what he payed for it... |

Lucky guy - I wish I'd been more savvy about ZR-1's when I was looking.
Speaking of getting fuel, I paid 3.97 for premium the other day - sheeeeesh! |

Nothing so exciting on my agenda as your trip. But, I did get the Blue Toy out of the garage today and took it for a spin and knocked out some of the cobwebs. I not sure it was the car's or mine. It was 51º yesterday and as I write this it is 60º. That's above by the way in good old ND right near the MT border where the men are men and the sheep are nervous. Have a good weekend all.

It's been a beautiful day.....nearly 70. I got out and cleaned the gutters, wooooowhoooo! How exciting is that? Still working on Father's computer.......Have I ever said how much I HATE some computers? I can't seem to get the damn sound card to work. Drivers installed, devices show in Device manager and say "working properly", but in the control panel Sound says "No device installed" ......Bullsh!t.
