I think its hilarious, people who don't get snow wishing for snow. After about a week of the stuff you'd beg me to take it back and tell me you never want to see it again.

Good Morning Everyone. It is 33* here now. Supposed to rain for the next couple of day also.

I hope that the weather next weekend is nice, alot of people going to CT and even though Pete has a huge shop it will kill the sitting around the fire on Sat night if it rains.

Morning Jim. They said on the news this morning that this part of the country is supposed to get a nice weekend, 50's-60's and sunny. Hopefully that weather will make its way out East for you guys. Looking forward to seeing the pictures, disappointed I won't be there.

Aww MAN!!! I take it you have a DVR?? I'm trying to find it online, but I'm guessing I'll have to buy the DVD when the series comes out. Crapola!!

Lisa - you & I know there is ALWAYS something that can be done to your truck!! I refinished my KR running boards the other day, and tomorrow will be working to get the lights working in them. Adding wiring & switches for more lights up front, and a new (black) bumper. That's just off the top of my head, plus the Passat will be getting new injectors, chip, front rotors & pads, and tuning... eventually.

I tell you what, this stuff is great...



Chamois BUTT'r is the number one choice for cyclists who use a skin lubricant and chamois cream to improve riding comfort.
Chamois BUTT'r prevents the uncomfortable rubbing and chafing that most cyclists experience when sitting on their saddle. Why put up with discomfort? Use Chamois BUTT'r.

Chamois BUTT'r is a non-greasy skin lubricant that improves riding comfort. It washes off your skin and out of your shorts easily with soap and water! It leaves your skin feeling better after you use it.

To apply Chamois BUTT'r: Put 1/6 to 1/3 ounce of Chamois BUTT'r on your skin, or on the pad of your shorts (before you put your shorts on). It's your preference, the Chamois BUTT'r ends up in the same place either way.

Riders who try it love it! We get calls all the time from satisfied customers who say, THEY GOTTA HAVE THEIR CHAMOIS BUTT'r !

Chamois BUTT'r was Rated 4 Stars by BICYCLING Magazine

Oh you don't have to tell me! I have mods sitting in the garage waiting for install...a frx among other things, and next week it'll be a BRV. There's always things that need done...I'm just trying to get the necessary things out of the way.

I even got my RV ice scraper out of my toolbox and dusted it off. Those running boards have the LEDs on them?

Nice picture of your monkey butt cream.

Morning Jim!

Lisa, the only times I ever wish for snow are Thanksgiving and Christmas....beyond that, I could care less if I see any...LOL. Years ago, I wanted to see it all year long. Now it just means more wrecks and idiots that don't know how to drive in it. Here, at the first sign of flurries, every redneck in town goes straight out and buys all of the milk and bread they can find like it's a blizzard.

On an unrelated note, after this weekend of midnight shifts, I have compiled a complete guest list for Jerry Springer that should last him until he retires.

True but we want to enjoy the fire by sitting next to it not by watching the inferno from the shop.

Morning Lisa. I do hope that it does head this way. The chillness won't be a problem just the case of rain. Pete has a wood stove in the shop so it will be warm for the southern brothers.

We will be taking plenty of pictures for all that can't be there.

Yeah...it's included in my Dish network package. Pretty convenient and it has about 150 hours of space on it.

Well gang, I'm heading for the bed...been up since this time yesterday and my eyes are like bloodshot golf ***** right now. Take care and I'll check back in later!
