Good Morning CGs!

Welcome to Friday. Sheesh, the month is half over? Wow. All I know is it's Friday, payday, and do nothing day. Weather is supposed to be rainy later (looks like it already started, actually) so I'll putz around the house. Wifey went to work today so I'm watching the rugrat. My mom and dad are coming into town tonight for the bday party this Sunday. They won't be in until around 8 or so, but it'll be nice to see them.

I got my harmonic balancer pulled an reinstalled yesterday. Then I reset my timing that was way off. With the new rear and the timing set, it's like a totally different car! I'll post up a tech thread later.

What's everyone else got planned for today?

Hope everyone has a great day!

Matthew

Seniors gone, will be a much easier day. Shortened again because we are hosting another big track meet, but we don't have to work this one. We have an early release time today, so my weekend starts a little sooner...but then again after next week, I'm off until mid-August.

Looks to be a pretty day here, mid 70's and light breeze (10-20mph). So nice in fact I pulled the Vette out and drove it to school.

Have a nice day.

I can't view this U.S. only. What a bunch of

For now, Hulu is a U.S. service only. That said, our intention is to make Hulu's growing content lineup available worldwide. This requires clearing the rights for each show or film in each specific geography and will take time. We're encouraged by how many content providers have already been working along these lines so that their programs can be available over the Internet to a much larger, global audience. The Hulu team is committed to making great programming available across the globe.

Morning Y'all!

Took the day off, and it looks like it's going to be a rainy one. That's ok though, we're running way behind in the rainbucket totals for the year...

Got a commuity yardsale tomorrow, so I have a feeling the wife is going to rope me into getting stuff ready....Ugh...
Oh well, beats working!

Hope everybody has a good day/Weekend!

Sorry - I didn't know that! It was the only scene I could find. It's from Super Troopers where they get locked in the back of the squad car having sex....hehe.

Good morning, Gurus!

Sounds like everyone's got their Friday started off well! No meetings today, so that means I can spend some quality time with my computer and get some things done!

Re Hulu - I heard they were already starting to pick up international programming - I'm surprised that you can't access in Canada.

Good afternoon everybody. Today marks the end of the fourth week in a row I have driven the vette into work everyday. After last years various problems keeping it off the road I vowed this year would be different. It's looking good so far. Besides, it gets twice the gas millage my truck does, good enough for me.

It's in the mid 60's and overcast but it's Friday so it's all good. See ya.

Good Evening Gurus!

Well, after two 600 mile days, I have to say:

I'm tired!

I can still knock out an entire tank of gas without stopping to pee.

The Saab is one hell of a car!


More after I recover.

We've long suspected that Tommy, but were too afraid to ask. Congrats on coming out of the closet.

Not only is the month half over the year almost is! Sheez - I've missed it all. IS there a masseuse in the house? I'm sore as heck. Bad day at work then boxing up stuff at mamma's... got a truck lined up tomorrow and a 2-wheel truck to try and get the rest out that I can. I 'd like to get it all done this weekend so I can rest next weekend and then clean up the house and get it ready to sell.
Having a nice cold adult beverage at the moment for my efforts. Hope everyone else had a good day and evening.

Best wishes to you, blondie. I hope everything goes as smoothly as one can hope for under the circumstances.

My dad found out his mother died after she had been buried. My uncle lived with his parents, and intentionally kept my dad in the dark so he could keep all the family possessions. He's a piece of work, my uncle is...

vetteblondie, you've gotta get one of these:

http://www.humantouch.com/ijoy130.html

I took a ride in one several years ago in a furniture store, and ordered one as soon as I got home. My oldest son stops by every Friday after work (he gets off early in the afternoon), and we usually find him passed out in the thing ;-)

What a day. I'm :sleepy5: I got my carport sided finally. I had to close off the the end of the walls and put on siding. Boy those inside corners are a pain in the :booty:. Had to run to HD to pick up some trim and another two lengths of siding that I get to put on tomorrow as repair pieces. The glass man came and measured my patio door. He was surprised it was still working after 50yrs. Anyway the glass is ordered and he'll be back on Tuesday morning to finish. Looks like everyone else had a good Friday. Glad your back safe and sound Chriss.
