Default OK so Iam bored

I live in Chi-Town so you have to know we really got hit with more white stufff today. Well Iam almost complete with my 98 Maggie rebuild and cant do any more due to the weather. So looking at the car I noticed some crud (not bad) in the crevices of the console.........Well I took it all apart, washed everything and put it back together. Sounds stupid but it really looks great. I will probably be the only one who notices but what the hell, had nothing else to do. Hurry up spring, this car is pretty clean.

In Alaska we called it "cabin fever". Here in northcentral Pennsylvania it is known as withdrawl. I still have 5 weeks of insurance layup to get thru and then maybe a snow storm or two. Spring is just around the corner and I am planning accordingly as far as the Vette is concerned. Hang in there, it's almost over.

Here in Denver we have had a regular dumping of snow too. I slip out in the vette whenever I can. Tomorrow I am suppose to get some work done, but they are saying snow tonight. Hope not.

Well, it's suppose to be in the low 60's here wednesday and hopefully low 70's by the weekend. No snow and no sub zero is why I moved to Vegas from Chicago!

I refer to it as "cabin fever" when I have to go a few weeks without being able to drop the top on my '01 'vert. Finally broke down on a somewhat clear night this week and dropped the top on the ride home.. had to have a sweater and cap on, and the heater cranked... but the top was down dammit!

Here in VA, in farm country, it's MUD SEASON! Yeah, the paved roads are dry and clean, but the 1 mile gravel road leading to my house, is a mud bog! Only the Ford Escape and F-250 roll through it, AND THEY LOOK AWFUL! So everything needs to dry up first before I can roll again!

Nothing wrong with what you did. It sounds perfectly normal to me.

If it makes you feel any better, on top of the snow we keep getting, I fractured my ankle ( right foot ) so I couldn't drive my vette if the roads were perfect, hopefully i'm all recovered by the time the snow melts and the roads are dry
