It is a bit chilly here this morning. It looks like some rain may be moving in. We need it so I won't complain but it may moderate my ambitions for car washing. We will see how much I can get done. Have a great Saturday crew.

Damn, well looks like I got some mods to get done. By the way what color is yours? Crystal Red Metallic or what was the other red they had before the 14-15 like Red Rock Met. They are great colors, Camaros in my eyes always looked good in metallic reds

[RubyCamaro]

Mine is the first metallic red they had just 2010 & 2011 Red Jewel Tintcoat (RJT). Racergirl has an LS more like yours & she is really fast. Not sure what all mods she has done but she is nice to talk to.

I just got home from my mother-in-laws house where as per usual, I ate too much & she sent home 2 bags full of food. Visiting her is sort of like it used to be visiting my grandmother. You always leave with lots of food. I visited my dad too. Both my sisters were there at the same time. He looked better today. He was sitting up in his wheel chair & interacting some. He was using her feet to move himself around in his wheelchair. He was even cognizant of our feet commenting & looking down not wanting to roll over our feet.

I worked outside all day yesterday. Pepper (daily driver) got a good washing & waxing which was way past due. She was filthy but looked good when I was done. Then I watered the flowers as the rain never materialized & did a little weeding. My roses are doing great. The yellow ones had died down to the ground in the harsh winter & I thought they were gone, but they came back & one has like 50 little buds. My other ones also have quite a few buds so maybe by next week I will have tons of roses. Here are a few pics.

My mother has passed on, so I took my mother-in-law out for lunch, a nice ride around Maryland, and dinner. I may be one of the few with a cool mother-in-law.

Met my daughter's new boy friend. He seems great and she likes him.

I'm enjoying visiting with family and friends, but I'm missing my life in AZ. Been here a week and a day.

But If and when, it will be no electronics until then she will just have to look pretty, so Im waiting on my louvers!

Welcome, and quite a few of us have V6 cars!

Afterwards, attended a local Walmart Cruise and talked to some more friends. All I need is a cool cruiser, instead of the Lincoln MKC I have.

Sounds like you're having fun, and was nice to take your MIL out for Mother's Day!


Jan, glad to hear your Dad seems to be doing better.

Busy day but I have already gotten my notes done. Headed to my exercise class after work. It is fun & seems to be helping but I have not gotten to know any of my classmates yet. I am not good at that part. Maybe soon. We are supposed to get some rain finally today, maybe even some storms but so far all the rain has missed us. I hope we do get some rain so I won't have to water the flowers tonight, but the storms I can do without.

The dealership that I bought my LS from called me up saying that they can get me in an SS for the same payments, and I dont know...something seems rotten in Denmark. I dont know how to tell them though that the money I had dedicated to a new downpayment just went on an entire warehouse of Continental parts, and louvers for my Camaro, although thought could go on an SS just as fine lol

Did you ask them how many more years you would have to pay on it, lol! Seriously, if you want an SS, get it. You'll always wonder otherwise, but you won't get the gas mileage for sure.

Good morning. Chilly morning & we got no rain. I should have watered the flowers last evening but I was too spent from my exercise class plus I did a mile of walk, fast walk, sprint. I'll have to water them when I get home today. Have a good day everyone.

Drove around southern PA yesterday with a buddy. Drove through Amish country, Strausburg, and surrounding areas. Later I met up with another buddy for dinner.

My wife and son arrive here later today, then we will visit my aunt. I've added about 600 miles to my Lincoln MKC since I got it a week ago. Since it is AWD, and has a small tank, maybe 14 gallons, I have to fill it up frequently.

Nice Hostas, love those no maintenance plants, well other than having to divide them every six years or so. Asked my hubby how many he has, I'd a guessed a few dozen, and he said we got around 500 OR 600 OF THEM.

What, that's crazy, but after I looked around he's probably right, they're everywhere! The two by the front door are gigantic! They get around three feet tall and the bluish/green leaves are easily two feet long. Then others are only three or four inches tall with tiny leaves one or two inches long.

Graduation day is tomorrow! The family is all here now.

[RubyCamaro]

Busy day but got everything done. Notes finished, plants watered & Ruby has an appointment in the morning to get her springs on! Tomorrow is going to be a good day!

[69supersport396]

Man am I up early today!

Graduation is in Baltimore City, hope everyone behaves.

[RubyCamaro]

Enjoy the graduation festivities!

Good morning. Quite chilly morning here. I'm up early to take Ruby to get her springs on. Excited! Happy hump day!
