Default The "Season" Approaches

Mother's Day but she doesn't like my ride, so probably some obligatory gifts & brunch etc. She's got her good points though. I just finished a lube/oil/filter/carb-adjust so I'm gonna drive some too! Solo, but this has never been about sharing.

I should add that my Corvette and my Harley both get better gas milage than my Durango SUV (which I've quit driving). Is this gasoline price thing ever going to stop?

Got customers coming in for two dyno tunes tomorrow and swapping cams in my Z on Sunday. The first cam didn't go so well, made lots of power, sounds nasty, but drives a bit nasty as well. If I was 18 years old, it would be fine.

This would be a good weekend for a cruise, but...........

I'm also going to the swap meet in Coburg tomorrow morning, then we have some landscape work we want to get done while the weather is nice. Saturday night I am taking my wife to dinner in the other car.

gsport -

The swap meet is held at the Monaco Motorhome plant in Coburg. It is mostly "old car" stuff with some antiques thrown in. It is pretty small. I don't want to bad-mouth it because the guys work hard to make it bigger and better, but it is nothing like Portland or Canby swap meets.

dreamer -

A Chevy Yeoman? Must have been a `58 station wagon.

We also have a `63 Nova 2-door hardtop for sale if you know of anyone looking.

(that's coffee this early in the morning)
