Good mornin' Gurus! I got today off!
My son and I each have some appts to attend, so I took today and tomorrow as well, making it a 5-day for yers truly!

On another front, 34 years ago at about 1am, a voluptuous blonde walked into my favorite bar and agreed to a dance with me, and the rest is history.
Here's to my wife, aka "the Missuz!"

Morning guys...Congrats Bob. Don't over do Marcus.

Got another .3" of rain last night that makes a little more than an inch in the last 24 hours. It's still cloudy and cool with more rain headed our way.

Have a great day guys.

Hidey-ho! Working from home today - they are recommending staying away from the downtown areas since there is a Vikings game, a Twins game, a Gophers game, a Saints game and the state fair. Good enough for me, as there are plenty of morons on the road on a normal day. We're taking tomorrow off to haul some more stuff up to my son's place.

Congrats, Bob!

Have a good one, Gurus!

Sure did! It was my '68 roadster. 327-350, 4-speed. I had it from 1977 to 1994 when I got my '88 Z51 car.

Selling plants to a local university. In the olden days you delivered a product they wrote you a check. Now you have to fill out a Vulcan 5 page application with all kinds of federal and state codes, tax information, banking information, company owner information. I really love how the digital age has made everything so much easier. Over an hour of MY time pissed out the window. Well at least we're on file now.. Rigginfrigan sassafrasson shidilibop. This stuff is somehow MY job because she's out makin dough. See what happens when you have (free?) time.

Yes money is nice but it will never buy you time (unless you going on vacation with the money made ).

Not all the time, yesterday I took a half hour out to pay the monthly bills.

It was exhausting. So, I took a nap.

Today I gave some serious consideration to starting my spring cleaning..............but I thought it would be easier to wash the '92.

It was exhausting So, now I have to decide - Lunch or Nap...........

I may have to do something tomorrow (sic).

There's boxes of trailer crap and poles from my 10 x 20 awning and empty top toolboxes laying under the 67. I have to rearrange all that to get to the 67.

Saturday if all goes well, my race trailer will be gone and I'll throw a few bucks at the 67.
