Good Morning CGs!

A chilly day to kick off the month. The news said last night that we set a record for the coldest last couple of days in February and I believe it. Looking at the weather predictions this morning it's cool but then 48 on Tuesday with ice pellets? Strange. Then back to cold. Go figure. So the car will continue to hibernate.

Started putting together a mental list of the things I need to do to the car:
New wires
Check 1-2 accumulator piston in the trans
New amplifier for the radio
New rotors and pads front and rear
Install speed bleeders
Install big mouth air dam and new screen
Install fuel pump upgrade harness
Rewire o2 sensor

I think that's all for now. I'm sure that list will grow as I get into things. I figure I've got a solid dozen hours in maintenance and upgrades to make with about $500 in parts. Better start checking the couch cushions. We don't all have T-Bone sports car money.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Matthew

That's just it Matt. I don't have any money. Maintenance on everything takes it.

Looks to be a glorious day in South Florida. At least till I piss off the wife.

Good morning gang.

It is cool here with temps in the upper teens with snow. Looks like the snow blower will get a work out later today.
Like Matt we're suppose to be near 40 on Tuesday with some rain.

The main project for me when it gets a little warmer is I need to replace the slave cylinder on vette. I also have to fix the inside door handle on the truck. But that will wait till warm weather too. Plastic parts and cold weather don't mix.

CLOUDY AND NOT AS COLD, LOOKS LIKE THE MELT IS STARTING. MAY MAKE A TRY FOR TULSA LATE IN THE MORNING. THE DROUTH HAS CERTAINLY BROKEN IN THE NATIONS. WESTERN OKLAHOMA IS ANOTHER MATTER.

Greetings! Another wacky week ahead here, too - up into the 20's, then back to single digits, maybe some plowable snow, then another warm-up. I even saw rumors of 50's in the 15-day forecast. Perhaps the Vette can come home soon. The shift knob I bought a while ago has a nice layer of dust on it.

Enjoy your Sunday, Gurus!

Morning guys...I was up until way early hours (1am before I went to bed), working on a computer. Up at 8am to continue working on it. I just now finished it. How some people can junk up a computer so bad, is beyond me. I've got it going again though.

Cold here too, but they are saying it might warm up a little lat this week. The snow we had this time around was pretty dry, not like the the snow last weekend. Looks like we'll be in school tomorrow.

I don't recall if I posted this before - it's a thread over at the Frontier forum where a guy is working on putting an old Dodge Town Wagon together. Always fun to see people put their skills and ingenuity to work:

Evening, work on computers all day. Got a lot done though. Tomorrow we have first round of sub state basketball. You lose, your season is over. We have to travel 4 hours for the games (girls and boys). I'm leaving early so we can get there to watch. Each game from here on out could be my grandsons last high school game, so we want to be there.
