glad to hear you are getting better and so is the weather. I predict plum should be out in the next couple weeks!!!! We had such a great time at the cruise. I just joined that club and everyone there is so great. It was my first time meeting all of them. They really made everyone feel like they were at home. Only one guy got a ticket out of 30 of us. So it was a good day, plus the cop was really easy on him. Overall it was a great day. We cruised down to a vette show which was also really cool. I've got pics from that too but haven't loaded them to my work computer yet. Almost closing time so i'll chat with you manana

Hiya Homie! I'm happy to report that I am a few percentage points improved (the flu part ) since yesterday - I'd say back to about 80% The weather is improved - almost made 70 degrees today, but that's supposed to be the best it's going to be for the extended forecast With the daylight savings time, I did get home from work early enough to attempt to 'fire up' Plum, but the battery was too weak from sitting, and my 'jump starter' didn't have enough charge left in it to make it happen Anyhow, the booster is now being charged, the Vette is still sitting, but it did perk me up a bit just to raise the hood and look at my beeooteeful engine and to sit in it when I attempted to start it
I hope your day is going well, dealing with people - I had an incounter with one of my students, who forgot who was in control of the classroom! Guess who won? LOL
Keep posting Kelly, keep grabbing some fun when you get the chance, and keep that red C5 between the ditches! Oh, no speeding tickets either (you didn't mention who got the ticket on Saturday, but I know you wouldn't speed!) LOL

Hey Bob! Glad to hear your getting back to 100%. And also that you got to sit in your baby and imagine driving her this spring/summmer. I'm sure starting her today or tommorrow will make everything just right! That silly weather over there is why everyone is always getting sick. It's so iffy from one day to the next. We are actually breaking record highs over here. We did yesterday and today. Right now it's about 86 and i'll be getting off shortly to enjoy it. I actually live about an hour from Vegas and I drive to Vegas to work everyday. Long story short, there is a big mountain I cross over and it's a lot colder up there so today will be the first day I'll get to drive all the way home with the top off!!! Shouldn't be so cold up there now that daylight savings time is here! My favorite time of the year!!!!!!
Wasn't me who got the ticket on Saturday thank God! But there is a funny story behind it actually. We were talking about there being two groups, the go fasters and the non go fasters. The speed limit is 70 so the one group was gonna be going anywhere from 70-80 and that leaves the other group going 90-100. I of course wanted the fast group. I spent the whole ride up there convincing my husband to let me drive in the fast group. He finally agreed. When we get there they say, ok anyone wanting to go with the "fast" group step to this side.......... Would you believe my husband and I were the only ones!!!!! I couldnt' believe it since some guys were even commenting that they were looking forward to it here on the forum. So there ended up only being one group but I was glad about that because the 30 of us drove together and it kept me from getting the ticket.

Hi Homie - I left you a post where you were talking tattoos Not much going on here. I think I'm about done with that damned flu bug. It's the first day of Spring but still not T-Top weather. It won't be long I hope you and yours had a great weekend.

Well bless your heart! I'm sooo happy for you and hope the other people you have met on here feel the same way!
If you remember, the very first post I ever made to you, I commented about the 'lucky guy' in Vegas.
I'm sure the guests are going to enjoy themselves.
Make sure someone takes a picture of the 'newly weds', so that you can send a copy to your plum different homie
It got over 70 degrees here today, so I tried to get 'Plum' to rumble - No luck, I think it is time to go to Battery Warehouse!
Whoever is 'giving you away' has a big job! I don't think I could do it
Stay in touch!

Hi Kelly,
Hope you get to read this before you take off on that 'vacation'! I'm sure Parrish will look elegant in that pink suit! The gray suit with pink pin stripes that your dad is going to wear sounds awesome too! Once again, enjoy it all - I'll be thinking about my homie!
