Good morning guys.
We may have found a new home... had a well and septic inspection yesterday and everything looked good so we're moving forward! We'd be more than doubling our square footage over our current home and would have a bigger yard, slightly wooded that backs up to woods which is a huge bonus. This place was built around the same time as our current place, mid-late 90s, and is in very good condition, just needs some nice upgrades and finishes which we'd be doing... similar situation we had when we bought our current place.
March Madness officially begins at 12:15 pm today! Michigan plays Montana at 9:50 tonight... go Blue!

First show is 19 days out? With the way it's been going here this year we could still have snow. Like this morning it was 20 degrees. And I still have my factory air box but since it's the original to-the-car I'm keeping it just incase.

The first show I'm planning on being in is April 7th and 8th. It's an indoor show at the basketball arena on the Arkansas State University campus. There's a small outdoor show one week prior to that, which I will probably not be ready for...
As for the air box, I ordered the one on ebay for $102 with shipping. It better fit....

Good morning guys. It's 9 degrees this morning... nine, single digits! Five days til spring so it can get back to some normal temps anytime now. This weekend looks better, high 40s and low 50s, which is good because I need to do some outside work to our place to get it ready to put on the market.
Last night, Michigan beat Montana 61-47 in round one of March Madness and will play Houston in round two tomorrow night at 9:40 pm. Go Blue!

Good Morning MCF this week we a few days that the weather was pretty nice, now the weekend looks like some rain.
A friend of mine called me to tell me about the Autorama in Omaha,NE and he had intended to go but now he has to work. He said Dale Earnhardt Jr was supposed to be there but for only 2 hours (so I am thinking why even bother for 2hours??) I would never drive that 200 miles round trip just to see if you can see him and he might even cancel at the last minute too. That has been the case in the past when either I or someone I know purchased tickets to see some race driver and they did a walk thru and a Prom Queen wave.
Great weather down here! Spent a couple of hours putting a good cleaning on the outside of the SS, then USPS delivered my air box, which was a perfect fit! Loving driving this car even more after finally tuning out the AFM 8 days ago! Which means I’ll probably sell it soon, haha....

Lol!! Sounds like me! Last time I did a totally custom stereo install, I sold the car a few weeks later. Not this one though! I need to post some pics soon, the stereo is installed and wow does it ever rock! I also put on my new steering wheel, and unfortunately it appears I boogered the clock spring, so I'm replacing that tomorrow....love the new wheel though!! My old one was worn smooth, and had a bunch of cuts/scratches etc.

Good morning guys. Awesome weather this weekend, sunny both days and warm - 51 degrees on Saturday and 60 yesterday! I got a lot of house work done outside and the puppy spend a lot of time outside and pooped herself out (she's just over 6 months old now). We got our well/septic and water results back on the "new" place and it looks good. Just need to finish some projects on our current place before we list it.
Go Blue! On Saturday, Michigan just barely beat Houston 64-63 to advance to the Sweet Sixteen where they will play Texas A&M - Thursday at 7:30 pm. Lots of upsets too - #11 Loyola-Chi over #3 Tenn, #11 Syracuse over #3 Mich St, #7 Texas A&M over #2 N Carolina, #7 Nevada over #2 Cinci, #9 Florida St over #1 Xavier and #16 UMBC over #1 Virginia. Both #1s and #2s are gone from the left side of the bracket.
2018 Standings after Auto Club - 5/36 Races (wins in parenthesis)
#78 Martin Truex Jr. - 216 (1)
#18 Kyle Busch - 207
#22 Joey Logano - 197

Morning guys and gals! Woke to 4" of fresh snow this morning, but yesterday was 55 deg! I was able to get the new clock spring installed and finally all the idiot lights are off. Expensive lesson, but I did the work myself and now know much more about clock springs than I ever wanted to know lol. The new steering wheel is fantastic, worth the money! Supposed to warm up to 70 again by Thursday!
Matt, March Madness sure is awesome this year! 2 #1 seeds out before the Sweet 16! Hasn't happened since 2004 I think.....congrats on Michigan, A&M is a tough match up but I hope the Wolverines can take it!
