Morning All,

Great looking day here - sunny but cool. Should hit 70 later today. Great riding weather!

My wife and daughter return from their trip today. Yay! The house has felt kinda lonely this week.

Happy Birthday, Bavorelli!

And if you don't mind, would you please sharing with us what brand/model wheels you have on your Monte? They look sweet.





Somehow the idea of green beer just turns me off. Maybe cause I'm not Irish?? Ewwww...

Good Morning all. I have already got my nap in for the day. Now what to do. I need to get some homework done this week and I am flying out on vacation Monday. My Mom and I are meeting my brother and his wife and 4 kids in Indio California. See the pic below of where we are staying. We are surprising my Niece and 3 Nephews with a trip to disneyland next thursday. I think I may go talk to another mechanic about the camaro. I would sure like to get it running.

Oh and Happy B-Day Barovelli! My brother and his family pulled in to Monterey Last night for a few days to see his wife's family. Small world.

The resort I will be at monday night to the following monday.

Green beer does taste the same, but as you can see in the pic, the food coloring kills the head on the beer. Interesting phenomenon. Still bubbly. And damn good. I am cruisin'!

Hmmmm... Ok, I buy that. Kinda weird that it kills the head. I guess it's really that green beer just looks wrong to me. But since I'm not attending any St. Patrick's Day parties tonight, it will be at least one more year before I try any.

those are Eagle series 192. Polished alloy, guess I like to make maintaining them a chore. After experience with chrome an clear coated wheels in the coastal weather, polished alloys seem easier to restore.

In my drinking days it was Bailey's on the rocks...the green beer was a turn off. Odd what you senses can do huh.

Happy Birthday Barovelli! My wife's twin cousins and one of their husbands also have a birthday today!
Happy St. Patricks Day to everyone!
Beautiful day here, 56 degrees and nothing but sunshine. One more night of work tonight, then off til I go back in Sunday night. They actually have to work overtime this weekend, but they don't need a lot of people and since I still have no clue what I'm doing there, they're letting me off.:p
