Good Morning CGs!

Rained all day yesterday. Still drove the Vette to work. Might as well enjoy it.

Marcus, what's the story with the C5 dangling before you? Plan on jumping back into the C5 game?

Hope everyone has a great day!

Nooooo Matt....not in the rain.... OMG.....

well I got this second cousin up in Montana who has this 02 vert in the Electron Blue Metallic color which is a fav of mine. He bought it maybe 5 years ago and drove it awhile but it has a very early centrifugal blower system on it from a business that was bought out by another business and on and on.

Well the belt broke and he tore it apart and like the whole front end of the car has to come off to get to everything. This kit had everything flipped so the alternator is on the passenger side and the blower is on the drivers side... belt is not running straight and its a bitch getting to the pulley's...and on and on..... He has other toys and is an older guy so the Vette just sits and has for several years now.

I have seen the car and it is a great low mileage car with the LS1 intact the only thing added was the blower. It does have LT headers also...... I keep encouraging him to fix it or tear that old blower off there and just enjoy the car for what it is.... He keeps saying he will get to it..... I told him if he wanted to sell it as is I would take it off his hands.... so far he has not said yes. I think his interest is lagging..... we shall see..... we shall see..... Patience is a virtue...

Keep the homefires burning Guru's...

Back from vacation. Had a wonderful time and we both gambled galore. Sue came home with some of their money. Me? I donated.The weather was fantastic and the ports of call were great. Aruba, Bonaire and two ports in the Dominican Republic. One of the women with us came down with covid but don't know if she boarded with it or caught it on board. Sue and I are walking on eggshells to see if we come down with anything. Next cruise will be over New Years to the Bahamas. The covid scare isn't stopping us from trying to cruise. Most of the restrictions have been dropped by the cruise lines. Plenty of chores are still on the list so it's back to the grind.

Good afternoon - sun is out today but temps are lower after yesterdays storms. Some much needed rain and more due in this weekend. Was 46 when I went to work. Am absolutely not a fan.
Pretty easy day at the office except for a call from the owner that riled me up first thing. A dude called a while back about wanting the Smokey and the Bandit artwork on the side of a semi. I will not use copyrighted artwork especially of that prominence. I mean little things, maybe but not something like that, on the side of a semi no less. I prefer not to be sued or cause the owner here to lose his business. I explained that to the guy and offered to use my photoshop skills and our own artwork to create something for him 'very' similar that we could get by with to give him the same look and told him the price and pointed him to my fb page where he could see some examples of my "scene creating". Told him I had full confidence I could do this for him. Never heard back.
Well apparently he's badmouthing me all over town telling people I acted like I wasn't interested in doing his trucks and it got back to owner who called me. I set all that shit straight and if I see that dude I'll set him straight too. No, I'm NOT interested in violating copyright laws. Period. And I offered to create an alternative. Then I"m told he found someone to "draw" that scene then digitize it and that's what he's using. That "designer" did it for free. Sorry, not me. That kinda work is pricey from me and it's hourly till I get done and you're happy. I don't work for free other than charity work I do and I do my share. that was all around 10am and I"m still shaking and fuming. I've had it with people today all the way around up here.

twice? lmao. I only pushed the button once but perhaps I pushed it hard enough to make it go twice? yes, I'm still steaming. Josh is over here running tint by himself and needed to step out to pick up lunch next door, I was manning phones from him and got another jerk on his line. People dont' get I guess in shops like ours, there's an appointment book, with a full schedule and no we aren't gonna cancel a premade appt because you dont' want to wait your turn for tint like everyone else. we don't have guys just standing aroudn twiddling thumbs waiting on you to come here is what I would have liked to have told the guy. I think I need to go back to school and find a new career. Entitled minded people have ruined everything.
