Default washed car

I got stuck in the friggin' rain yesterday.

I went to Cabella's to pick up my new Marlin 45-70 and was there for 3 friggin' hours ; sunny when I went in....raining when I came out.

Some of the questions on the state and federal forms were crazy.....do I take drugs...am I a pedifile.....been arrested for domestic violence....been in a mental institution....am I a criminal......Holy ****!

Most of them, of course, were answered NO.

Hell, I remember going into Sears years ago and buying a 22 for 25 bucks. Gave the guy the money, he gave me the rifle. I never heard of a muslim.

Anyway, just finished washing the car and it looks good. Heading to Crawfords in Vernon for a see-gar and watch the boys beat UCF at 4.

Ciao.

ha-ha.

I didn't lie on that one, but I omitted my middle names and they caught that.

I got the vette out of the garage today and at one point this afternoon even had the top down. I went to Cabela's in Hudson MA actually to look for a new rifle. I need something new. I came home empty handed though. I couldn't believe that I was driving a corvette with the top down in January and it was almost 60 where I was. I can seriously take more winter like this and no snow.

Hey, be nice...BBall just isn't our sport

Didn't get mine out, still a couple projects to finish up. I took advantage of my garage being warmer and pulled my leaky speedometer cable housing and gear...got a new one on order with a larger gear so my speedo won't continue to read 10mph fast. Next project, drop the mechanical fuel pump for an electric, then an alignment and a good buffing/polishing and she's ready to go. Also looking to get my t-top repainted, started to take them apart today as well...

Put my front wheel back on Sunday. Had repaired and repainted after lightly scraping a curb last year. Looks brand new.

Too much salt on roads for me, plus insurance off. Only a couple of more months, though.

Mine's been hermetically sealed in the garage, sleeping with the collision insurance suspended as well. Have to admit it's been real tempting though.

Nino, I know we have bears in CT., but a buffalo gun?? Have fun my friend, maybe get a little Ben Gay for your shoulder.

Same here no insurance up on the lift so just took out the buffer and buff out some sections of the car.
