This was our weekend chore , now to stack it in woodshed . 2yrs worth of wood . glad we have a log splitter that runs off the tractor .

Glad you had a good time. I've never been to any of mine, takes guts to do it.

I meant you have to work on the picture posting issue. But yeah, his way of thinking is definitely a guy thing!

I feel warm and toasty looking at all of that firewood.

Impala is as done as I can make it. I'll post a photo up later. Did a strip wash on the Camaro tonight. Since it will be rainy here the next two days, I'll do a paint correction on it while staying dry in the garage. The top was filthy, and the paint really needs to be clayed.

I'm on vacation this week, so I'm going to knock out a few projects this week. Friday we are going to Sedona for the weekend to celebrate our anniversary.

Great pics Jan.....I understand the dancing thing, have been doing ballroom-Latin-C&W-Tango for almost 20 years :)

My weekend was a bit more stressful....three days of teaching and training martial arts. I am bruised, blistered, sore, and worn out. But, it was great training.

Hubby is off with the boys, 8 or 9 days of his kinda fun. He's attending a DEA training exercise. Said the kids (mid 20s-early 30s) will try to beat him down, so he's look'n forward to the adventure.

Standard operating field tests. Everything from conducting raids in remote areas, urban, and out at sea. Plus all the toys imaginable at the gun range!

Hope the Ol Fart doesn't over do it.

Had a busy week and weekend.

Finally got the stove fixed on Thursday. Was supposed to be earlier in the week, but couldn't get away from the office until Thursday. Service tech who came out was very competent and professional... found that wiring harness in the stove had come loose and needed to be re-seated. That kinda irritated me... pay $850 for a loaded convection oven and follow that up 14 months later with a $75 service call to deal with poor build quality. The really annoying thing was that if I had taken the time to open the back panel of the stove myself, I could have dealt with it and saved myself the service charge. Oh well...

On Friday, the boy was sick and had to stay home from daycare. Honestly, not a bad day, but not a productive one, either.

The highlight of the weekend was taking the family on a road trip in the Camaro. This was the first long-distance trip (about 450 miles round trip) for me and the Camaro. It did very well. Averaged about 29 MPG at 71 MPH. That was actually a little lower than I was hoping for, but considering the car was loaded with two adults, two kids, all of the stuff needed for an overnight trip, and had the AC running most of the time, I'm still pleased. We stayed overnight with some friends, so I got to show off my wheels, and also check out our friend's new Audi A6. That is a damned nice car!

Got back to the house yesterday in time to catch the second half of the Browns game and watch some football last night, and back to the office today. Pretty good weekend, and one of the more relaxing ones in recent memory.

Awesome.....I want to hang out with your Hubby :headbang:

Love those kind of car shows. Where was the car show at in Illinois? I love some of those towns we went through on Hot Rod Power Tour.

Love to dance too. Go at minimum once a week!:happyanim:

Richard --- you must know how much wood a woodchuck chucks if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

Jan --- very neat place for a reunion. I only had 122 students in my senior class. No need for that kind of facility for our reunion.

Diane --- the car show was in my home town. My grand parents went to that theater and my grand children go there to watch movies. We are lucky to still have it open. It has a stage and an orchestra pit from days gone by.

John

John those pictures in front of the theater are great , I love the corvette .
and yes I know about the woodchuck ha ha

Jan yes it is hard work but we have the equipment to help make it happen .

Rick enjoy your time off . I know the joys of having a light coloured convertible .

Okbfd I am sure you enjoy the martial arts and enjoy teaching others .

70rs My first car was a 1970 SS.......sadly it was the 307 2 bbl carb, but it was still fun. :)

After a day and a half, the Camaro is done.

Don't think I want to detail any more cars this week. I have some errands to run Wednesday.

Rick the Camaro looks great , how did you top turn out and what do you use on it ?
Okbfd I have always liked the shelbys

Hi boyz n girlz. Just checkin in. How yall doin? :thumb:

:wave:
Hi Jay! Long time no see! Been busy at work, dancing, enjoying my grandkids. Planning to go to a car show this weekend, just like to go for the fun of it, shoot the breeze with others about their cars. :wave:

Hope you are doing ok, and your family as well!

Thanks. I used Ragg Topp by Hartz. I think it works great.

Howdy! :)

You'll get used to it. :)

Totally on a whim, I drove over to Westgate Entertainment Complex for a cruise they put on almost every Wednesday night. Older cats up to 1985 park in one area and newer cars park in another. Theven older section is nicer with a fountain to cool the air down a bit. I'm very surprised by the lack of C5 Camaro at many west valley cruises, and this one was no exception. One C5 and one C4 were there. Lots of Stangs, Challengers, and Chargers there.

I was recently at a cruise in Surprise where I had the only Camaro there.

Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed this cruise, it was an awesome venue.

Dang, some nice looking cars there

Thanks! Wish I took my camera. Only had my cell phone, and it was low on charge. :facepalm:

You always have all the fun............:thumbsup:

Thanks Diane. Wish I was always on vacation. :)

Up in Sedona this weekend for our wedding anniversary. Love it up here.

Happy anniversary Rick !

Happy anniversary. Enjoy nature's best. Love Sedona! Go AZ Cardinals!

Happy Anniversary Rick & to the wife to.

Jan good luck at the track & car show. Hope it dries out enough for you to run the track. Going to are last to second car show tomorrow of the season. Next month time to put the car up for 6 months. Right now no new mods for the winter.

Thanks everyone. We have some fun stuff planned for today.

Nice start of the day.

Glad you had fun Jan.

We did a three hour Pink Jeep Tour and hung out at the Sedona Wine Festival. Had some real good wine.

Walking around before the crowds wake up. I really hate leaving this place, but vacation is almost over.

Glad everyone had a nice weekend. Mine has not been too good. I did something to my back earlier this week when i was closing my pool. The pain has been getting steadily worse and last night it started radiating down my left arm so I went to the ER around 3am. We expected that I would get a full cardiac workup even though I did not believe I was having any heart issues. As I expected all of the cardiac tests were normal but the night Dr in the ER wrote an order to admit me for evaluation.

Then they gave me a narcotic to relive my pain and I felt a little better and fell asleep for an hour. My wife went to see what was happening and the night shift went home and the day shift would not change the admission order. My only choice was to sign a waiver that I would leave AMA so I did. They did not try to discourage me from leaving because I think they felt the night Dr was overreacting by admitting me as I had no cardiac symptoms other than arm pain and all of the tests were completely normal. They gave me a couple of prescriptions for muscle relaxers and a pain med.

Now my mother-in-law is being admitted to a different hospital for possible GI issues two days before her retirement and planned winter trip to Florida. We are praying its nothing serious and that she wont have to delay her plans for too long. I will call my regular Dr tomorrow and I already have a Chiropractor appt scheduled so maybe they can do something for me. We will also have to see her tomorrow at some point. I am not looking forward to running around tomorrow as driving seems to aggravate my back and arm pain.
