Catching cold sucks just as bad here in Florida. At least the sun is shining and the temps are in the 80's again today. My son is in your neck of the woods Mike. He is stationed outside of Seattle at the Naval base. I miss not seeing him and he is all grown up. It happened so fast it seems. He recently got engaged to a very nice girl. I hope you feel better soon.

Afternoon All,

Nice day here in N. AL. Great riding weather. Won't last long, though. Cold front bringing rain tomorrow evening. High's later in the week of only mid-50's. Possibly the first frost of the season. Time to bring in the citrus trees in pots in the back yard.

Having my mechanic check out my next possible new / old car. An old colleague of mine is getting rid of a '95 Mercedes C280. Needs some work, but seems to be mechanically sound. If I can buy it dirt cheap, I can afford to put some $ in repairs over the next few months and get it back in shape. It would make a good, safe spare car for my son to use for school / work. We'll see what my mechanic says...

Hey Dustin. You changing out the struts yourself? Just wondering how tough a job that is. It's lower on my priority list, but I'd really like to replace the struts on our Monte in the coming months. Almost 160K on the stock set.

afternoon everyone, finally managed to get my pictures in and they came out amazing. Sitting here tweaking them now. Beautiful day here, not a cloud in the sky, mid 60s and breezy. Have a good afternoon all.

Good afternoon everyone. Haven't been on here a lot cause I'm still staying at my Dad's house and his internet/computer is too slow. Today I got the drain removed from my back - what a relief! Friday I get the pic line out and start on oral antibiotics. After that I can move back home. I have lots of yard work to do and I have to put my Halloween decorations up.
