Good Morning CGs!
Happy Wednesday. For me it's Friday. Almost put that in the chat title...lol. Work today then we are off for a long vacation at our family's house in AZ. Be out there for about 10 days. Looking forward to it. Still didn't get the grass cut due to all the rain and lack of time. Guess it will still be here when I get back. Hope everyone has a great day! Matthew |

Supposed to be nice again, so I dragged the Vette out once more. I even gave it a once-over with the Chadwick's last night. And I'll fill up with some non-ethanol 93 on the way home. Enjoy your day, yawlz! |

Uh Brad....I think all 93 octain fuel has moonshine in it...they take 91 and put 10% ethanol in it to make 93...Shell has a straight 91 octain without etanol I believe....V Power they call it.....I might be wrong...but it would be the first time since I screwed up back in 1989....just saying....

Maybe their non-ethanol is 91, I'll have to look. Anyway, whatever I'm getting, it will be ethanol-free.

good morning Matt, I'm guessing that your neighbor that had the tree on the roof will be complaining about his neighbor that won't cut the grass.  I'm hanging in there taking one step at a time. I just wish those involved would stop throwing nails and broken glass in the pathway. Have a great day gurus. I'm off to meet with my new general practicioner and start the routine battery of tests. At least if I get sick I can say I have a doctor. |

Good morning gang.
I have today off and I slept in. Today I fly to Tucson for my test and interview. Looks like we'll have rain today here with some thunderstorms. Have a safe trip Matt. Mojo to you Tommy. If I remember correctly Brad most if not all premium gas is ethanol free. That is why small engine machines like lawn mowers, weed eaters, snow blowers etc require it. Word of the Day Wednesday, August 27, 2014 pulchritudinous \ puhl-kri-TOOD-n-uhs, -TYOOD- \, adjective; 1.physically beautiful; comely. Origin: Pulchritudinous is built on the Latin word for "beautiful," pulcher . The noun pulchritude entered English in the mid-1400s; pulchritudinous did not gain traction in the US until the late 1800s. |

Don't use it much. I'd have to use it a lot if I was in Southern Nevada which is beside Az. |

afternoon....Another busy day. Got my insurance swapped over, stopped at the courthouse to find out what I should do until I get my lien release from the other bank and arranged to have some materials for a job I'm doing delivered so when I get in the mood I can put them in, all done on my "planning period"
Mike, good luck with the interview.....does that mean you would be moving? Would you have to sell your house and buy another? How exactly, will this affect you, other than the job itself? Around here, it's hard to tell if the different grades of gas has ethanol in it. The pumps just have a generic sign that says that the gas "may" have ethanol blended up to 10%. I just always put the good stuff in and try to keep top tier gas in the Vette. Shell, P66/Conoco. If I don't put TT gas in I add a bottle of Chevron Techron additive in. |

Greetings !
The car cover arrived today and they toss in a storage bag and a lock and cable. So far I like these people. Hot muggy day here. I have to mow 1 lawn this evening. It only takes 1/2 hour and should be cooling off a bit by then. My boss doesn't know it yet but I think I am taking Friday off. Nice 4 day weekend. Now I am off to play a bit of trivia. |

Have a good vaca, Matt...
Busy again here at the day job today - got a motorcoach in to wrap. I dread that. Gris - that chief this is a mess... she is our paper's police and courts reporter. Evidently he had been teaching without proper credentials/permissions and it got outed, as well as him using NCIC to run people illegally, including her among other things he's done. He is a real jackass and not well liked her. Was ran out from GA and came here. He made some unprofessional comments on FB about her, one or two crossing a line of libel - implying she's a drug user, and what not when she isn't. She quit the paper over it, and the publisher there got a lawyer. Chief got 30 days no pay and then he manned up and resigned. The entire town here, b out 60k of us - well most of us - are glad he's gone and think there's a handful more that need to go with him. Part of the story and what he wrote about her is here: http://m.arktimes.com/ArkansasBlog/ar ... acebook-comments-a-factor couple more: http://www.kait8.com/story/26335585/j ... ief-suspended-without-pay http://www.kait8.com/story/26362798/j ... -resigns-amid-controversy |

Well gang I'm in Tucson and had a safe flight. Only one miner inconvenience was when I left FT Wayne I had to valet one of my bags and after arriving in Dallas FT Worth we had to wait about 30 min to get those bags back. Turns out the ground crews work in pairs and evidently one didn't show up, so until a replacement was found we just sat there and waited at the plane. Almost missed my flight because of that.

If I get the job then yes I will be moving. We live in a mobile home right now so selling that won't be to difficult. But as far as buying another house we probably won't do that for a while. We have talked about it and because we just recently bought a nice 5th wheel we'll probably live in that for a while and get bills paid. This will be a major life changing event that is for sure. We did this 5 yrs ago so it isn't totally new to us. We just don't like doing it. |

Thanks everyone. The grass was cut, as was my hair, so I shouldn't expect either to get too long over the next 10 days. I should be somewhat absentee during the period, no internet up at our Aunt's house in Flagstaff.
Mike - good luck! |
