Good morning CGs!

How is the day so far? Just got home so I'm ready to relax a little. Rained a bit last night, so I'm glad I got the grass cut yesterday. Weather shouldn't be too hot today. I probably won't get to tinker with the vette today, but there's a bathroom that needs cleaning. Wait...huh...oh well.

Anyone have big plans for the upcoming weekend? Anyone gonna play hooky from work tomorrow?

Hope everyone has a great day!

Matthew

And for today's joke:

20 Ways to Annoy Your Public Bathroom Stall-Mate.

1. Stick your open palm under the stall wall and ask your neighbor, “May I borrow a highlighter?”
2. Say, “Uh oh, I knew I shouldn’t have put my lips on that.”
3. Cheer and clap loudly every time somebody breaks the silence with a bodily function noise.
4. Say, “Damn, this water’s cold.”
5. Drop a marble and say, “Oh no! My glass eye!”
6. Say, “Hmmm, I’ve never seen that color before.”
7. Grunt and strain real loud for 30 seconds and then drop a cantaloupe into the toilet bowl from a height of six feet. Sigh relaxingly.
8. Say, “Now how did that get in there?”
9. Say, “Hummus. Reminds me of hummus.”
10. Fill up a large flask with Mountain Dew. Squirt it erratically under the stall walls of your neighbor’s while yelling, “Whoa! Easy boy!”
11. Say, “Interesting. More floaters than sinkers.”
12. Using a small squeeze tube, spread peanut butter on a wad of toilet paper and drop the wad under the stall of your neighbor. Then say, “Whoops, could you kick that back over here please?”
13. Say, “C’mon Mr. Happy! Don’t fall asleep on me now.”
14. Fill a balloon with cream corn. Rush into the stall with your hand over your mouth and let out a lengthy vomit impression while you squeeze the balloon and splatter cream corn all about. Apologize profusely and blame it on the fettuccine alfredo you had for breakfast.
15. Say, “Boy, that sure looks like a maggot.”
16. Say, “Damn, I knew that drain hole was a little too small. Now what am I gonna do?”
17. Play a well known drum cadence over and over again on your butt cheeks.
18. Before you un-roll toilet paper, conspicuously lay down your “Cross-Dressers Anonymous” newsletter on the floor visible to the adjacent stall.
19. Lower a small mirror underneath the stall wall, adjust it so you can see your neighbor and say, “Peek-a-boo!”
20. Drop a D-cup bra on the floor under the stall wall and sing “Born Free.”

Har! Wearing a Larry Craig mask into the men's room would probably also make the list.

I installed one of those console cushion thingamabobs last night - so far it seems much more comfortable than the stock lid.

Good Morning Gurus!

Nothing major to report here. I would like to refer back to yesterday though, if I may.

crash said he had lost 25 lbs. I just wanted to say that is an awesome achievement! Keep it up brutha! Pretty soon we'll have to change your name from "crash" to "minor fender bender"!

I'd also like to say (at the risk of sounding like a kiss-ass, which I am not) that I am excited about the expansion of the Guru franchise Andy is working on.

I hope the Guru brand can grow and thrive, without becoming overly commercial and diluted. It's all about the balance.

Good luck, Andy. Hopefully I can help in some small way. And I'll be sure to complain if I don't like what I see!

Not much going on today, but this weekend will be very busy.
Drag Races on Sunday. We are having rain day make-ups from our last event on Sunday. If anyone is in the Maryland area we are running drags on Sunday at 10am at Capitol Raceway in Crofton, MD.

Also - I got a few shots from the autocross we co-hosted last Sunday.
Here is two.

Neat pix! Are you doing some computerized blur effects on those? Can't be a shutter setting, can it?
