Word of the Day Monday, May 05, 2014 coterie\ KOH-tuh-ree \, noun; 1. a group of people who associate closely. 2. an exclusive group; clique. 3. a group of prairie dogs occupying a communal burrow. Origin: Coterie is French in origin, originally used to refer to an association of tenant farmers. It entered English in the mid-1700s.

Hope we get something similar tomorrow, as golf league is supposed to start after last week fizzled out. I'm moving kinda slow today, as I spent much of yesterday battling with shrubbery. I think I eventually won, but have a few left to tackle. Have a good day, Gurus!

I am contemplating mowing the yard this afternoon. I cut it once already and it is growing like crazy. The search for an acceptable 'vette is progressing nicely. Looked at a couple over the weekend that were just outside of my price range. If I had a couple extra grand to add to the downpayment, it would be a no-brainer. Have a great guru day !

Here are the pics of Blue Coral wax job on the GS....siver is hard to get a good pic of especially with my phone. Do you guys remember Blue Coral wax from back in the day? What I used was Chadwicks Triple Play products and I think my search has ended for the perfect car shine.... What I like about the stuff is how nice it makes the black plastic parts look and the ease of application along with how it takes the bugs and road tar off. Its also killer on the chrome wheels.....click on those pics to make them bigger..... Have a great day Guru's.....

Doctor said it was not strep but a viral infection. A painful one at that, too. She's off at school this morning, though. Bill - I think that motor is out of Ken's price range. Marcus - pics look good!

Looked around for a while and couldn't figure it out.....until I hit the garage door opener. The door went up a foot and stopped. Broken garage door spring. Pain in the butt and I'm never thrilled about winding one. And the opener had enough power to crack the door where the lift arm attached so, I guess I'm doing some welding today.

Guru Emeritus Apple Valley, MN 14762 Posts Member since: 2007/12/29 0:00	I had a door spring break and wound up buying a new door. The guy temporarily repaired my old spring by using a small U-clamp to tie the broken ends of the spring together. Worked like a charm and held up fine until the new door arrived. Those things are LOUD when they break, indeed.

He says the 24 oz you get is more than enough to do your car 6 times.....I thought if some is good more is better so by the time I was done I used 12 oz on the car but you do use more the first time. Then it becomes a detailer each time you clean the car. He also says you are supposed to use the product to wash the car with.....but my car was so filthy that I sprayed the dust off it with water before I started to use the products.

Chair-man of the bored Homestead USA 33760 Posts Member since: 2007/12/10 0:00	Had to load and drive up to Miami this morning. Traffic was not as bad as it could have been. On the way home it was like driving a race. (not Bill's kind of race) Using the side mirrors with the small convex mirror on bottom for determining clearance always adds an extra thrill. Got back at 11:00 so not too bad. Just ate a late breakfast and I'm thinking of going to listen to my pillow for awhile. Matter of fact I pretty much know I'm gonna go do an eyelid check. See how long I can keep them closed without blinking. My guess is an hour or two. Have to meet somebody at the nursery at 03:30. That's just about the right amount of time.
