I wish I could get the boat out, they lowered or lake for maintenance over the winter and the stupid DEP didn't close it before we had some good rains this spring, now we still need about 3-4 more feet to get it up to the launches. Hopefully some of the rain we got last week will run off and help some.

After that I'll head down to the truck and check the under hood fuse block. It just struck me the other day that it might be a fuse in there that is causing all my light issues. Even if it's not it's still worth checking.

Have a great time at the show sorry I couldn't make it.

I'll make sure I get some pictures and post them up in the CT Chapter.

Totally random question:

Anyone have a TomTom? When I rode down to Gettysburg with my buddy and his dad they had one in their car. It seemed to be a pretty cool system.

I can get one that has maps of the US, Canada, and Mexico for like 250 bucks. 4.3" touch screen

In the month I've had my license I've already made a couple trips I wish I had a GPS for. Some roads around here aren't marked worth poo.

Once you get the glasses out of you could feel some fluid running out your ear so don't be alarmed. At first the fluid might be clear followed by a good amount of blood. Oh it also might makes you cry like a girl which makes your family look at you really weird.

Poor Chase thought he killed me when he saw me crying, he's never seen me cry before. lol.

Hope everyone had a good night!

Ouch Cris!!!! You ok? Can you hear ok? I'm alarmed you may have hurt your ear drums.

Send some of the warmth and sun this way. We need the rain, but could deal without the high temps in the 50's.

Great pics Mike...looks like you've been busy. Morning again all. I'm running around like a chicken with it's head cut off this morning. Too much to do and not enough time to do it. It's already up to 80 here...I'll try to send some of it your way Mike!

G'afternoon Jim!

I think it's okay, still hurts like a **** and I can feel all kinds of pressure in my ear. It finally quit bleeding around 3am so that's when I went to bed. I would have been pissed if I got blood on my pillow case

I tried to be tough but when you have sunglasses hanging out your ear, it didn't work so good
