Good morning Robert and OldBen

Happy first day of spring! One step closer to Walgreens running out of Claritin, neighborhood dads judging each other’s lawns, and the Mets being mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.

Good morning, Barn peeps. Beautiful sunrise shaping up. Will be pulling the Vette out in about an hour to go play pickleball with my wife.

Robert, Ben, Mike, Tiki

Mets, Vettes, Hammies, my back hurts just replying.
Although, I think the Mets are still in contention
for 2 more weeks.

Cool, not over 50 here but pollen is still flying. My favorite Messicans have cleared yard, busted old fire pit out and already put down 7 tons of gravel for a flagstone patio and a few walkways to horseshoe pit, raised garden and pool…. Yaddy pics forthcoming

Edit, here’s one

Allergies/COVID/Influenza are competing for top performers in the clinic today.

Already had a hilarious event when working on the Vette.

We were using the floor jack and the handle just kept turning. My husband pulled on it, handle came all the way off and the attachment arm flipped up.

We had absolutely no way to get the jack out from underneath the car so we had to call a friend to bring over another floor jack just to get it out.

I took it as a sign from God; we have no business working on cars ha ha.

Right! Thankfully no one was under the car!

We now have the Polar Princess up on 4 of the car roller dollies so a little easier to work on and move around garage.

Sweet jesus that was a long trip. Ended up just shy of 5 hrs each way.
They were about 300 lbs each.
Bear was alone 6 hrs in his kennel inside, that's pushing it and was too long.
He's going to remove my spleen tomorrow I fear.

I seem to be okay from the trip but I'll save judgment until tomorrow.
Made son drive over half the time so I could lay down flatter.

I have a story and not a good one about the guy I got them from.

Have a good evening everyone

Just got home from another 12. Spring break here this week so a little less crazy

Hubs offered to get me digital gauges for the vette for my birthday!


There are quite a few brands. Any recommendations?

Dakota and Intellitronix are names that keep coming up.
