Just got back from moving some friends. The old 92 ran great. The more I drive it the move I love it. 17 MPG unloaded. 11 MPG loaded into headwind. Hauling a car and into headwind.

Roads last night were miserable. Roads between Aberdeen were not the greatest.

I had to go to Sioux Falls yesterday, roads were a bit slick on the way down, but good on the way home....got a few more snow flurries last night but nothing substantial...

Got the heat on in the garage, gonna go spend the day getting my '71 ready to go!!! Got to get it running, cleaned up again, and ready to sell.....

Also doing some work on my '82 Camaro--no, I'm not a traitor, it's one I had to take for payment on a bill. It was take a chebbie or nothing.... Anyway, it's customized a bit and some trick suspension. Hopefully I can get it sold as a roller and not have to mess with it anymore... If any of you admit to having friends that like chebbies and might know of someone interested in it, please let me know!!!! Gladly give a bit of a bonus to anyone who can find me a buyer and help get this dang chebbie out of my otherwise all Blue Oval garage!!!!!

Stay warm, stay out of the ditches, pray for an early Spring!!!!!!!

hmmmm.... isn't nothing and chebbie the same thing???

How's it going Dave, and the rest of South Dakota... not too much snow down here in my corner, but it was pretty slick yesterday morning. If only the wind wouldn't blow so hard, winter would be much easier to take!

I will admit to owned an Oldsmobile. However the happiest day when owning a Chevrolet is the day you get rid of it.

Happy Friday everyone!

All you guys got your Christmas shopping done yet? I don't, still have lots of time. The way the retailers are whinning they will probably be open on Christmas day for all of us procrastinators!

Sure, nobody will admit to knowing the chebbie guys!!!!

Well, owning a chebbie is like playing with fat girls, it's fine as long as your friends don't see you with one!!!!

As for shopping, wait til the day after Christmas!!! From the way all the whining retailers are moaning, they'll be giving stuff away....

Really got out of the mood for Christmas early this year.... The first word on shopping the day after Thanksgiving was about a store employee being trampled to death by customers.... Didn't notice the same results in church Sunday with it being the first Sunday of Advent.... Sez a lot about what Christmas really means to most, doesn't it?????

You got that right Dave! I heard some guy complaining on the radio news the other day about how bad things are and that he can't afford to spend a ton on money on stuff. I suppose congress will have to bail out Christmas shoppers and retailers this year too! We're just way too commercialized these days (uh oh, I'm starting to sound like Charlie Brown now!)

I'm giving some serious thought to buying myself a pair of AFR heads for Christmas!!!! Other then that, I'm one of the cop-out guys who does the gift certificate or gift card thing... I don't have the time or desire to go shopping with all the idiots on the loose this time of year....

I just seen something about that on Kelo. Sounds like it was a quite a fire. PRetty decent day here. Installing wood laminate flooring in the dining room. Had some leftover from the living room and will have just enough to finish it.
