Good Morning CGs!

After work last night I stopped over at the neighbors' house. They had a bday party for the boy who is the same age as RR#1. It was a nice time. Got out of there later than I would have liked, though, and the kids were overtired and obnoxious (compared to their regular state....just obnoxious). Kids had fun, though.

Wife and I plan on seeing that movie American Sniper tomorrow. I have heard it is very good. Has anyone seen it yet?

Hope everyone has a great day!

Matthew

Good morning.

Woke to cool temperatures this morning bordering in the high 40's. Highs expected in the low 70's throughout the week with plenty of sunshine. I don't know if I've mentioned this before but I love the Florida winters. We are supposed to have some visitors over this afternoon. Sue mentioned something about a BBQ. Might could be a lie low kinda day. That would be nice though I had several lie low days already this past week because I'm not feeling quite up to par. Sinus pressure. Seize the day before the day seizes you.

Up early

Turned on the race

Was going to plat with Corvettes

Went to make coffee........why am I standing in a puddle?

Guess I need a plumber

Hey Tom..........

Morning guys.....Yea, I'll be RIGHT over.

SEMI-SUNNY IN THE NATIONS THIS MORNING, WE'RE OFF TO OKMULGEE FOR #3 GRANDDAUGHTER'S BAPTISM. THE ARKIES AND OKC KIDS ARE GOING TO BE THERE, A NOISY TIME TO BE HAD BY ALL, NO DOUBT.

AND IN THE NEWS: A ROBBERY GONE RIGHT

Tulsa Police received a call of an armed robbery Tuesday night at the Ryan's Convenience Store near 21st and Mingo.
The clerk told police that three masked men entered the store armed with handguns. Police say the clerk pulled out his semi-automatic pistol and shot two of the three suspects.
One of the robbery suspects, a 25-30 year old male, was killed instantly and another later died at the hospital. Police say the third suspect fled the scene.

THE REMAINING ROBBER & THE WHEEL MAN WERE CHARGED WITH FELONY MURDER. THE CLERK WAS EXONERATED, BUT WILL BE REQUIRED TO PERFORM TWO WEEKS OF TARGET PRACTICE.

Urinary incontinence?

I would say that more of that happening would be a serious deterrent to crime....but 2 out of 3 isn't all bad....

Got back late from Kansas after spending the day with Ma....we had some good talks.....she is so busy with stuff to do that it would make me tired....she is always giving me some strange supplement pills to take and I usually just bring them home and put them in a drawer with all the rest......I got to thinking on the way home that she is 92 and going like she is in her 70's.....maybe I should take a better look at what those pills are......

Today I am working on the GS so I can have it ready to roll when a nice day comes up every now and then as we move closer to the vernal equinox.....oh yeah and some naps...

Gris someday I would like to come down to meet you....you seem like someone I would really enjoy having a N/A beer with.........as are the rest of the Guru's.......hopefully will meet a few more in Florida this spring.....

Have an enjoyable day doing what you do Guru's.....

Hahahaha! And I doubt Tom can help with that :-P

We got about 1/8 inch of snow overnight, not sure why it bothered. Glad to hear your mom is doing so well, Marcus. My MIL is going plenty strong at 81, too.

Have a good day, Gurus!

Depends...

Disposer blew an exhaust gasket.....I really wanted to go to HomeD today.

watching the race but it's starting to piss me off

Hey guys...been watching 24 hour race on Fox Sports1. I think it's warming up out there. I'll check that out later.

Just ordered a new set of tires for the Corvette.....Firestone Firehawk 500 RFTs. Got the set for $880/delivered. That's almost $250 less than anywhere I've found.

That is a pretty good price for new shoes on a C6!

Particularly for Run Flats......

Oh, one note from driving the Corvette last night.....I love the new shifter and no CAGS. So much easier to shiftand never a problem going from 1 to 2.

I vaguely recall driving a Corvette. From what I remember, deleting the CAGS was one of the best mods ever.

All this shifter talk made me go buy a black Hurst shift knob on eBay - been meaning to do that for a while. I'll set it on my workbench and look at it for a couple months.

I see Coach K got his 1000th win - he got a little help from Tyus Jones, a nice Apple Valley boy.

So much for morning bagel, they were SOLD OUT!

Advance snow mojo to the northeasterners - sounds like it's gonna be a mess.

....I think those are the ones with the wide whitewalls though Tom.....I think it will look ok.....

isn't that where the name Nor'easter came from....polar cold air mass slams into warm oceanic air mass over the gulf stream.....I looked that up......all hell breaks loose....

Hahahahahahhaaa......Gris will like that one.....

So been working on the passenger side of the engine this afternoon....just getting ready to put on the valve cover and start looking for all the parts that will finish out the job....and I'm missing one of the new spark plug wires........ ......

I am in the process of tearing up the shop looking for it....mojo for lost parts would be appreciated about right now.....geez.....

Don't worry, Marcus - it'll be in the last place you look for it ;-)

OH YEAH, POETIC JUSTICE.

MARCUS, COME ON DOWN ANY TIME. IF YOU LEAVE HUNGRY OR SOBER IT'LL BE NOBODY'S FAULT BUT YOUR OWN :-)

AND YOU'RE QUITE CORRECT, THE GURUS ARE A FINE BUNCH OF FOLKS, TOP OF THE LINE.

Hope all you Gurus had a good weekend - save for loud grandkids and puddles where they shouldn't be.
I want a do-over for mine - stressy week followed by some really hurt feelings by someone, still haven't found a car, tried for some quiet time at the nearby lake yesterday and a freak showed up to stalk the scene - nursing home one is sick again, ended up somewhere else I should not have been last night till way past my bedtime - tired now and couldn't get a nap in - geez -
And, just went to drink from my freshly opened water bottle and there's a lady bug in there - where'd he come from?
On a side bar - any opinions of Vizio televisions? Found a 50" 240hz at best buy for 599 which was 799 - it's a smart tv - I can keep my cable's internet and dump their tv service and use this thing instead viewing hulu, amazon prime, etc. That should save me 100 a month.

IN DALLAS LIFE IS MUCH SIMPLER; AT THE SIGHT OF A SNOW FLAKE EVERYBODY JUMPS IN THEIR CARS AND RUNS INTO ONE ANOTHER.
(ACTUALLY, SNOW IS NOT NEEDED, JUST RAIN HAS THE SAME EFFECT)

We bought a 47" Vizio smart TV a little over a year ago - it's been good so far. The only complaint I have, and it might be the same with all "smart" TV's, is that it takes a little while to "boot up". Haven't done much with the "smart" part of it, other than watching a few YouTube and Netflix videos. Best of luck on the other fronts!

We have the 50" Vizio. Don't do much with the "smart" part either.

We have several Vizio's and like them a lot.....we have a smart one and we watch Netflix on it all the time.....no commercials....Niiiice!

I won't buy anything else at this point......

Where the HELL is that spark plug wire....all done except of that.......grrrrrrr........

Spark plug wire-finding mojo ;-)

I have a 32 and a 60 inch Vizio and would buy another.

The less expensive smart stuff doesn't offer as many choices as cable. The WiFi streaming works good though,
