Good morning MCF and welcome to March!!
Today is meteorological spring and I wake up to 6 new inches of snow on the ground and it's still coming down!!
So I am thinking that the racing season will start about um...July!!
Oh well, the snow IS pretty and I am glad I don't have to get out in it today!!!
Mother Nature now has a new nickname...Mother Molasses!!! LOL
Mel- Good luck and hope you are having a great time at the World of Wheels!!
Keane & Devin-Hope you had a blast Go-Karting yesterday!!
Chris- I'm sorry but I am pushing this snow your way!!! LOL
Space-Thoughts and prayers to you for your continuing recovery!! Sure miss you around here.
Here is a motivational drag racing song!!! Keeps me going until we can get back to the track!!

Good morning guys.
We're looking at up to 1" of snow today and Tuesday looks like it's going to be a mess. The weather is definitely a month behind right now, although I did hear something about 40s and possibly above average temps for the second week of March next week.
Cruze's factory wiper blades were past spent so I went with a pair of Bosch Icons yesterday. Cruze is also throwing a check engine light as of yesterday which I had scanned (bank 1 lean, bank 2 lean). Looks like an O2 sensor might be going bad and the car has two of them so I'm going to monitor and see if it starts to show signs of failing, then see if I can isolate one or the other - I'm also thinking at 73K miles it might not be a bad idea to just go ahead and replace both.

Next Saturday here shows 37 but it looks like we have to go through two days of possible lows in the negatives again later this week to get there.
I just checked and this February was Metro Detroit's coldest February in 140 years and 5th coldest month on record.

19 days until the Pod gets here. 22 days until we are on the road to Kent Wa.
The Mrs. Will not release the funds to get the cars done. Even though the $$$ for the repairs/maintenance was already budgeted.

Hi Barb, yeah the Minions Rule! Looking forward to a pic if you find one!
Oh, I see you did find it. And you know I had to download it. That is really cool and crestive. But with that many Mistievus Minions in his yard I wonder how long his house will remain standing. Lol
