Default Crappy day.... almost.

Nothing went right in work today... the equipment was being finicky, the computer froze-up just as I was finshing up a project (of course, it hadn't been saved)... I even went to pick-up a pizza, only to find that they had forgotten to make it.... but, gassing-up I had two guys comment about the Vette, and driving to the pizza place I had some young fellows give me "thumbs-up"!.... it sure helped to take the edge off the rest of the day!
