Good morning CGs!

How is the day going so far? I got home from work and decided that after two weeks of not doing it, I really needed to cut the grass. The front wasn't too bad, but the back was pretty long. Of course, the weed whacker ran out of string half way through the back yard, so only half the fenceline got done - I didn't feel like spending 10 minutes spooling up the new line and getting it back together. Call it lazy. Oh well.

Well I have to tell you my workout yesterday just about killed me. Had eight days off total, and I'm feeling it today, lol. I just have to get back into my rhythm.

Any news with anyone else?

Hope everyone has a great day.

Matthew

I'm home today. My daughter has her school pictures today, so I am hanging out to watch the boys. Their first day of school is Friday. (I thought it was today).

I believe my wife and I found a new daycare provider for my youngest. She only lives about a block away. You can see our back yard from her front yard. Pretty convenient. Hopefully it all works out.

All my kids are excited to start school. Just goes to show you how weird they are.

Still walking. Down 11 lbs now. Still not really seeing it, but feeling pretty good.

Have a good one, my friends!

My day started off fine as hell! Car dead Thankfully neighbor was leaving also, gave me a boost. Car's been hard to start for a while, changed fuel pressure regular (? or whatever it is in the dash) and that helped for about a day. Showed to be bad. Car still hard to start but different. Smell fuel when it does start. Suspected low battery, it's old. Spend the $$ on the red top. DANG!!!!! Sticker shock. Holy Crap! Is it really worth it? And, FWIW, dang car STILL hard to start... WTF?

Maybe the fuel pressure is leaking down when it's not running.

My wife is apparently feeling much better. She had me out shopping for porcelin tile. I tried to talk her into a cheap fix for some popping tiles but the idea of repairing it and throwing an area rug over it didn't meet her idea of repair. We started off going to replace the kitchen tiles. Looks like we are up to the kitchen, dining room and laundry room. About 300 sq. ft. Fortunately for me, I'm just paying, not installing.

I've laid somewhere around 700 sq. ft. of ceramic in our house, and it is sofa king fun :-P

Glad to hear she's feeling better!

My wife doesn't need to feel good to find work for me to do. She can do that no matter what her condition. Glad to hear she's on the up & up, though

Vetteblondie - seems like there is some issue there. I'd post a ??? in the c4 technical because a of of people don't read the daily chat (or post, at least). Sounds like someone said, there could be leaky injectors. I don't know where the FPR is on the 96, but I don't believe it's in the dash.

Chris - 11 pounds is great, man. It's a health pace and if you keep with it you'll be getting some great results. After 6 months you'll look back and go, wow, how did that happen?

I'm about to go workout, myself, so hope everyone has a great night.

Matthew
