Nice touch with the black SS inlays. Subtle and effective, as the finest mods often are.

I didn't even know the SS badges had white in them; I thought they were all silver. Guess I never looked close enough...

Good morning guys. Yesterday was an amazing day; mostly sunny and made it up to 72 degrees. My wife had to work late so I sat out on the deck after work and also took the Monte for a drive and stopped by the dealership to order a few more things for it. I've put about 100 miles on the car since I pulled it out a week ago.

Thanks and, yes, they're like a 'pearl' white inlay from the factory.

Another winter storm???

I hate to tell ya but we've been in the 70's and covered with pollen lately!! Move on over to Virginia where the weather's milder and the women are wilder!

I'm sure that's not politically correct but...oh well

Good morning guys. 34 degrees this morning, going up to 49 today. Yeah the snow is back, we got about 0.2-0.5" of snow overnight - just on grassy areas, vehicles, etc. Areas of Central and Northern Lower MI are suppose to get 1-2" and areas of the western Upper Peninsula could see up to 12".



Welp the Pistons ended the season with 2 straight wins and have made it into the playoffs! They will play the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round. Let's go Pistons!

And the Tigers are 8-4 and in 1st place in the AL Central, 3rd in the league overall.

Yeah It has been very nice here too.
Got some of the yard work completed and all the stupid leaves picked up and I mowed the lawn too.
Did a power wash on the Deck too. Should have some company for Easter as well.

It WAS nice here but it's raining like a **** now and is supposed to through tomorrow. High of only 43 today. Back up into 60s and 70s by Sunday into next week. I swear these up and down temps really mess with you.

I was mia for a bit as the wife and I were in Florida for a long weekend. Got home Tuesday and I took Wednesday off and got some yard work started while the weather was still decent. Still doing a little leaf pickup, turning over our mulch to freshen it up and I want to transplant some of our Hostas. We'll be seeding the yard again to thicken it up and planting flowers next month.

BIG news this morning... Steve Yzerman (Wings' longtime beloved captain back in the 90s/early 00s) will be returning to Detroit as the Red Wings' new general manager and I am thrilled!
