The SS Thread
Spring is here; time for the Spring/Summer Thread!
It has been (and, in some ways, continues to be) a LONG, cold, snowy winter, for some of us.... BUT, with spring arriving, I'm looking forward to...
... softball/baseball (Dad's Friday night Elgin city league team; bro-in-law's Tuesday night Elgin city league team).
... warmer temps and SUNSHINE!
... getting my older 4 Monte Carlos out (hopefully earlier than I did last year).
... gatherings, reunions, car cruises and shows (including the July 26 Chicagoland area gathering).
... traveling/road trips, though not as much as I'd like (including Pennsylvania, June 27-29; Indiana / Ohio / Pennsylvania / New Jersey /Maryland / Arlington VA, August 8-12; central-southern IL / St Louis MO, October 3-5). And, yes, one of these years I WILL get to Boston/NY AND to CA via MN, etc, etc, etc....
... finding a winter beater ('77-'79 Caprice; '89-'90 Caprice 9C1; Monte Carlo?; something else?) for next winter ... and MAYBE adding a Monte Carlo SS to my MC family (though, I wouldn't mind a 1975 Caprice Classic convertible, either)!
What are YOU looking forward to this spring/summer?

Sadly, for those of us in Chicagoland ... WINTER CONTINUES........as, a day after Spring starts, we have a winter storm warning ... 5-7 inches (or so) of snow by Friday evening. Wonderful.
*rolls eyes*
Thursday was absolutely GORGEOUS ... sunshine and upper 40s/lower 50s. Friday will be ... ugh.
*pauses*
Spring IS here ... right?

For some of us, at least. We are in the 70's for highs in Vegas. I am loving life right now. For the first in a long time, yesterday, my Monte was warm inside when I left work! It was like a warm, fuzzy hug for a heat lover like myself.
I am looking forward to going home to see the family next month and introducing them to the youngin'. We found round-trip tix from Vegas to Grand Cayman (connecting through Miami) for about $360 a piece on American! That's gonna be a good trip. I haven't been home since May '05 (right after I bought the Monte).

I heard ... lol. I think we only got about 4 or 5 inches here. But, still ... dangumit.
Course, drive an hour south of where I am ... and the temps were in the 50s. Go figure.
