Default Hey everybody!

Well, I'm in place over here (middle east) and all is well. I'm so happy to have the forum at my disposal I can't stand it. I figured it would be locked out. It was an uneventful plane ride and the weather here right now is fantastic. I'm pretty dang busy so not really alot of time to hang out. Later on!!

Hey buddy. Glad you are doing ok. Listen - your wife called to ask my opinion of which ride she could sell faster while you are gone to get some quick cash.

1.The Camaro
2. The Vette
3. The Harley

She was wondering which one you would be the least upset about too. I don't want het to get in a lot of trouble when you get back so I won't let her know I talked to you about it. I promise.

yea this is one of the better parts of the year until the rain comes then everything turns to mud. I was lucky enough to drop in right before the summer to at least get a chance to become climatized. Be Safe

Thats what great about the forum, its just cars...not, whats going on in the world, or home stress, or job, etc... Its just cool cars and talk about fix'in stuff. Great place to shut everything out and just deals with car stuff. All I need now is internet in the garage and I'd be set.

Thanks for all your hard work, over there. It does not go unappreciated.

Hey, while you are over there. If you run into a guy named Hadi, with a beat up old 90 C4, tell him to get the hell off our C3 forum!!!!

Nothing better than tax free paychecks for Corvette mods. Make a list of what your going to buy when you get back and stick with it. My wife bought all sorts of furniture and home improvement type crap. I told her that you can live in a car but you can't drive a house. I don't think she understood me. Have fun and shoot straight.

She better break out the bolt cutters! Also, if she sells the Vette, someone is going to end up in the cow pasture in that thing. I never did get the brakes quite right. I'll have to powerbleed them when I get home. Too bad the weather at home is not as nice as it is here right now. Would be great to be out in the car with the t tops off.

It's sort of looking like rain today. A couple of sprinkles this morning but the temps are great. I hope we don't end up with a mud pit after a good rain. I've done the summer here before, and if I can skip that duty again I will in a heart beat. Sometimes I think I'm getting to old for this stuff. And to everyone, thanks for all the support. That's why I love the forum!!!
