All I was imparting is that it sounded as if someone told you that cats would get rid of the drone, I have them and NO IT DIDNT, it drones something terrible, so I am glad I have the NPP to shut it off is all

Finished cleaning the car up after all of the winter mods, then took it out to Cars & Coffee Saturday morning, followed by a Vette club meet for lunch, and a car show in the late afternoon. Was an all Corvette day for me.

I polished the hell out of the Vette yesterday.

Gave it a quick wash. Finished hitting it with compound where I had left off a couple weeks ago, then hit is with polish & finally a coat of Poly-wax.

Pretty sure I saw your car at Cars & Coffee- I think you were parked right to the right of me.

Looked at it up on the four post lift. Waiting for the snow and salt to be washed away on the roads so I can get it out and drive it.

LOL @ hell.

I put my car up for the winter on November 18.

The road salt here is long gone, and my driveway was dry enough yesterday to have taken the car out for the first time, but I went for a walk instead. Could have taken it out today too, but didn't.

I've not seen hell yet, but most assuredly will someday.

Meanwhile, I'll just enjoy my little piece of Heaven:

I have a boat too and plenty of lakes, but haven't had it out since 2011.

I'm thinking of giving it to my buddy's kid.

Ha, that is Honeoye Lake, about 3-4 miles from me.

Its maximum depth is 30' and the water warms to the mid-80s in the summer. Almost too warm to cool off in.

The other nearby lake I used to boat in is Canandaigua Lake, deeper and cooler, but the surface temp gets into the lower 80s in July-August.

There is all kinds of good fishing close by, too bad I don't care about it.

Washed mine this past Sunday so as to have it ready when they decide to clean up most of the gravel in my area.
