A rather boring honk, but it should be loud and clear.

It should work with key on or off....

Good Morning CGs!

How is everyone today? Weather is supposed to be warm with a hint of rain.

Booked my plane tickets and rental car last night for my sister's wedding in August. We'll fly into Newark and then drive up to the wedding. We're gonna leave the baby at home for the weekend, which my wife wasn't happy about at first, but now she's onboard. Little mini-vaca.

What's everyone else up to?

Hope everyone has a great day!

Matthew

Hey Matt, have fun on your mini-vacation. The baby should be fine at home, just leave enough beer in the fridge and chips and cheese and she should be hunky-dory. I loved it when my parent left me home alone. Ah the good ole days.

Weather here is stuck on stupid. Highs during the day in the 50's and low 30's at night. Still too cold yet to get the car out but getting there.

Work seems to be picking up a bit, that's a good sign.


Have a good morning all.

Continuing to work on "The Project". (Refreshing the house). Every day I try to do something. Yesterday I started painting the exterior trim and replacing soffit vents as I go. There is a lot to be said about home ownership. .... I should actually call it "The Never Ending Project" Kinda like Corvettes. The day your done is the day you sold it (or died). It's OK though. I wasn't doing anything anyway.

Ah had some BS to go to this morning with another persons reasons on why I did not get promoted. Made me really mad again. Anyway, life goes on. On a side note here is my download and upload speed.

Jeez, you could get a speeding ticket downloading, Johnny ;-)

I took the Vette for a little spin to check for squeaks with the new weatherstripping last night - no squeaks but a little wind noise, so the windows will need a bit of fine tuning. High of 38 today, so I left it home again - the outlook for the next week isn't much better.

Had to go by the Local dealer to pick up a new work van. Took a little time to look at a C6, but didn't look at the sticker (to keep my hopes up). They even keeped them locked inside the showroom!

Good Morning Gurus!

We're preparing for big snow on the front range of Colorado. We're supposed to get 3-6 inches. 10-12 where my wife is in Denver. 20+ in Trinidad, about 90 minutes south of me.

No Vetting for a few days.

You guys really got me thinking about muffler elimination with that LT1 exhaust thread! w00t!

Have a super day, y'all!

My first day back from vacation in Vermont. Went sightseeing and snowboarding and also tried skiing for the first time, and spent a 1/2 day in Montreal. Strange place.

We ordered a "Vermonster" from Ben & Jerry's which is basically a giant bucket with 20 scoops of ice cream, bannanas, nuts, toppings, brownies, whipped cream... ugh.

See if you can figure out the last pic.

It could have been worse. You could have gotten the laid off notice. Next yr a pay raise maybe.

I just wish I was working.

True, I love the army for that reason alone, no chance of that happening. Sorry about your work, hopefully something will come for you.

Great pics central. I use to live in N.E. I sure don't miss the bitter cold at all. But it sure is a beautiful place.
