Good Morning CGs!

How is everyone today? I slept in today. Yup. Til 6:45. That's a long time for me! Looking forward to getting some tasks done around the house today, fitting in a nice workout, and maybe tinkering with the car. Told the wife it's my day off and she said she wouldn't bother me. We'll see how that works out

So what's everyone else up to? I know it's Dave's last day of work before a 3 day weekend Anyone else?

Hope everyone has a great day!

Matthew

Good morning gurus. Hopefully the weather cooperates and I can get some things done outside. Not much happened yesterday sort of played phone tag getting estimates for the sliding patio door glass replacement and finding out the local shops in the backed up for a month or so to get my riding mower service for the drive and mow belts replace. So it looks like that won't get done before I go.

Hope everyone has a good Thursday.

Weather in the PNW is rain early tapering off around lunch and the sun coming out. Temps up in the mid to high 60's.

Howdy, gurus! About a 2-club wind here today - I think we need to take over the moniker of The Windy City.

Hey Mike, if you're looking to replace the entire patio door, I give a 2-thumbs-up to the Pella door with the blinds in between the glass - we love ours.

Good Morning Gurus!

Cold and wet in Grand Forks, ND. the perfect day for a cruise in a Svenmobile.

I'm showered, packed and ready to blaze. My mom does not seem to care how quickly we get on the road. Rushing her would only make things worse, so, I'll just sit here and squirm.

Hopefully we can get further than half way home before my mom decides she is sick of being in the car.

Me? I'd start the car, and only stop to fill the car and empty my bladder.

Enjoy your day, Gurus!

Supposed to be a beautiful day here, highs in the 70's and light winds (15-30). Chris, be careful driving home.

It's the last day for seniors....only days away until I have a break. It will be hectic here with the seniors checking out, the rest of them won't want to do anything either. I get grumpy when things are like this. Students are beginning to show up here, so I better sign off. Later

Have a safe trip Chris. If I were keeping the house Brad I would look into that. But I'm not so we're just getting the glass replaced. We need to watch the funds for a while. I'm still drawing unemployment. New job starts June 1.

Just saw on the news that here at one of our local small airports there is a B-17 Flying Fortress on display for the weekend and offering rides in it too. Sounds like I may have to take a break from things and go check it out. :fly:

Oh man! A ride in a B-17? HELLZ YEAH!

As long as I didn't have to be a 150 lb gymnast/contortionist to get in, I'd be all over that!

Morning!

Man, got an early start of the day...(not by design!) Little girl work up at 3am and needed a new 'diapie'. My wife got up to take care of everything but I was done for the night. Got up, drank a few cups of coffee and came on in to work.
Don't really mind since this is Friday for me! Gotta take the vette somewhere tomorrow to get the ac charged up. (Hopefully, that's all it needs)


Matt, I'll be in that same situation tomorrow! Seems the wife always has something for me to do whenever I take a day off! Hope it works out for ya!

Safe Trip Chris! Hammer down!

Mike, the B17 sounds like a great time! Pics, please!

Hope everybody has a great day!

Well the weather here is warm one day and freezing the next. I knew I took the Vette out too early, the Gods were not pleased.
Oh those 3AM changes, such a distant memory. That is the one thing I will never miss. Have fun David.
Hell a ride in a bomber Mike, too cool. And Chris have a safe trip.

Yup, I know the feeling Baby didn't want to eat much solids last night, so we knew she wouldn't sleep real late. Got up around 5 to eat again then she tossed and turned for a while. We still got some sleep, so wasn't too bad.

Left the shop around noon. Went to my buddies garage and swapped the clutch fan for a 6 blade flex. Bypassed the heater core for the summer. And have an alternator bracket scribed out on 1/4" aluminum. I'm gonna mill it tomorrow, and maybe replace my master cylinder. I love days like this.
