Stop in for a cup of coffee
I'm just trying to get through this week and make it to the weekend....
Been ripping my music CD's to my hard drive now that I have reloaded my operating system... I am into the S'es now...
Then after ripping the music to the hard drive, I can load the different CD/DVD software... They will conflict with media player if I try to do it before ripping the music...
I need to get the 340 ready for the Challenger convertible that my brother bought from me... I have the short block cleaned up, now to find some head bolts, rocker arms with bolts and install the new cam and lifters.... The boy has been busy for the last few weekends and we haven't had a chance to work on it...
I need to collect all the fallen branches from the yard so I can mow the lawn when it gets a little longer...
The neighbor has a small tree that's falling down and leaning over by the roots... I need to cut it down and pull the stump out with the Jeep... I'va always hated mowing around that tree as it has those pricks on it and always gets me when I mow around it... I can't wait to mow without it this summer....
I need to get the mower tuned up and ready for summer...
I also asked the older boy to save some money to have the exhaust installed on his Valiant... I agreed to pay half with him... We are trying to save the $$$ up by the end of this month...
Once the exhaust is done, then we can fine tune it in... Then he can save up the money to have it painted... Nothing fancy, just some paint to cover the bare metal that he stripped down... Then he can get the front and rear window installed and we can drive it a little around town...
The younger boy is in Detroit right now visiting the grandparents... He will be coming here for a few months to visit and we will be working on his Valiant and converting it from a slant 6 to a 360 with a 727 and 8 3/4" axle.... We have to get it done as he is going to school in NC next fall...
My buddy Ron from Battle Creek and I have agreed to do the beach runs this summer... He's off every other weekend and we can meet at the beach... We will get season passes for the dunes and meet... He brings his small BBQ and we grill some burgers and brats... We all bring a little food, chips, and drinks and meet at the beach half way between us just over the border in Michigan...
We did that last year and only missed one month when he had a high school reunion to go to... We had a great time... I bring my kids and his younger daughter comes also... Ron and I have been friends since college and before we had kids... Our kids grew up together when we both lived in Detroit... Ron and I would hang out together with the kids when they were younger so the wives could get a break... (or sometimes we needed a break from the wife and they would not get upset when we hung out together if we took the kids off their hands and gave them a break from the kids....)
My buddy Doug just bought a 22 foot boat and may join us a couple of times this year... He never went last year and it would be good to get him out there also...
Other than that, not much going on.... :rolleyes:
