Good afternoon everybody. I was late for work for the second day in a row. I-4 was a mess both days. Between the tourists going into the area theme parks and the Citrus bowl game the road was horrible. I know I make my living because of tourists but I wish they would learn to F'in drive. I left the house a few minutes earlier today than I did yesterday and was still late. Yesterday there were two tractor trailers looking for the same piece of real estate at the exit I take. Today I got off the highway three exits back and fought the lights and secondary road traffic. It bites.

Gregg, sorry to hear about your traffic troubles. It got to 61* here today (St. Louis) and we took the kids to a playground, where I was lucky enough to find an interesting path thru the adjoining woods. The trail ended abruptly several hundred feet above the interstate - if I'd slipped, I'd have ended up on the highway. So I wisely held on tight to the trees nearby and scooted quickly back up to the playground. It was fun to be out in the sun again, in the woods, on fallen leaves with my fellow forest creatures...and when I got home, I had time to wash and detail the Monte! It hasn't been done in over a week cuz of the cold weather. Next up: taking the bowtie off the front and putting on the beautiful Knight's Crest I got from Ashely Marie. Pictures to follow...

Hi Gregg, I don't envy you 4-Sure...I really dislike driving anywhere in Orlando, and you are in the highest travelled area of the City...Everyone drives like they don't know where they are going & are on drugs, or driving w/o a license.
It's a stressful experience 4-Sure...Disney should pay you hazardous pay for your commute ~> Wish you safe travels...

I-4 at SR-536

=============================================
`Hi Keane, your Monte looks great & it is amazing what a Monte can fit in2 the trunk with the seats down...It can also fit a double mattress (just in case you wanta take a nap)
=========================================
It's great to get a update on Mike (JG)....I sure hope he recovers fast & is back online soon.
==========================================
Hi Angie, We are praying for your daughter...The seniors told me they are sending special prayers also...Stay strong for her
=======================================
I must get ready 4 work...Wish everyOne a Safe/Happy evening....I hope I see everyone 2morrow `if I am given another day.....

$3 is all I spend too. I put in $1.50 and I spray rinse the car and then spray soap on next I switch to the foamy brush and go over the whole car. The time usually expires so there is no foam coming out of the brush but the soap is still on the car. Then I put in the second 1.50 and rinse the soap.

That tv fit good but I don't think mine would have fit in my monte cause the box was about a foot bigger than the tv.

Keane that ain't much of an antenna farm there. I'm a ham radio guy so I could show you some antenna farms. Gonna erect one on the truck when I have the transmission in it and can afford new radios.
