Good morning everyone. Been a while since I've logged on... I'm baaack 
Here in SE MI we've been cool recently but temps are back up above average - yesterday was 72 and today 65. This coming weekend looks beautiful with temps around 70 so I'll be taking advantage of that to enjoy it and get as much of my fall routine done as I can. I've been busy as usual and work's been good - currently working 3 days in the office and 2 at home remotely. And I've been going nuts with my license plate collection - I've added quite a few this year, including some nice porcelain, and am working on filling in my favorite plates on one garage wall.
Regarding the Monte, I have not yet put the car away for winter, probably another 2-3 weeks depending on weather. Chevrolet Nationals was the only show I was able to do with the car this year - everything else local that I would have done was cancelled due to Covid (there was a couple I could have done but they conflicted with vacations).
I did grab some nice photos of the car this year (both randoms and at Chevy Nat'ls) which can be seen here > https://montecarloforum.com/forum/sh...s-06-ss-62103/
And I have posted my photos of Michigan Monte Carlo Club's 9th An. Fall Meet here > https://montecarloforum.com/forum/me...et-pics-62105/

Good morning.
We hit record highs of 71 Saturday and 75 yesterday. Suppose to be 75 today and 76 tomorrow (two more potential records). Cold front moves back in Tuesday night and we'll be back in the 50s.
On Saturday I did the brakes on my wife's '11 F-150 FX4 and a friend of mine is buying it this week (my wife bought a new '20 Ram Laramie earlier this summer so she doesn't need two trucks). He's getting a great truck too - no rust, very clean and only 55,130 miles. And since it was so warm, we sat outside yesterday and watched the birds for an hour - lots of Chickadees, Titmice, Nuthatches, Blue Jays and Cardinals.

Supposed to warm up to the 70's here today. Gotta take the Equinox in for a recall and then maybe hit a U-pull it.
