Good morning but it's almost 2 PM, it was sunny with no wind all morning but the sun just went for a snooze. It was -9 at first then went up to 2.
Took the rest of the decorations down for another year.
Feeling better today...we'll see what tomorrow brings. Jan.8th family doctor, Feb 8th for other one.
Have a great day.

JG, if you ask me Christmas is too long now. Hell the stores start with Christmas at the beginning of November. Shit can't end fast enough for me.

by **smoken340** Fri Jan 04, 2019 1:36 pm

Good day all. We got up to +9 today. A bit cloudy but no rain or snow. Calling for the same stuff for Saturday.

by GONEFISHIN' Fri Jan 04, 2019 3:38 pm

SOLUTUON: stay out of the stores.

by **smoken340** Sat Jan 05, 2019 3:12 pm

SOLUTION: Stop celebrating Christmas all together. The true meaning of Christmas, was lost many many years ago. It's just way to commercialized now a days.

Good afternoon 8 and a new wind warning just announced. We have my brother and his bride here for a few days on thier way to Hawaii so its been a busy time cooking lobster and getting my lobster stew base started. We cruised the pawn shops casino and liquor store and now its time for our tv sports time.
Have a great day

Good morning 4 and its been very windy all night again. Lots of power out on the mainland but ok here so far. Making a lobster stew today mmmm can`t wait to test that one!
Have a great day

by **Keith Mopar** Sun Jan 06, 2019 2:39 pm

Weather here is a high of 2 and low of -6

Reg the weather doesn't sound that great there but that Lobster stew, man that sounds great.

have a great day all!

by Ragtacker Mon Jan 07, 2019 6:04 am

Good morning 0 black ice all around this morning. Sunny day today maybe some wind but nothing to worry about. Head a bit of surface rust under the dash so dealt with that yesterday and will put some dynamat in there instead of the almost none existent firewall insulation from the factory. Once this is all in I can get the wiper assembly installed and button up the dash. The stew was awesome Keith.
Have a great day

by **Keith Mopar** Mon Jan 07, 2019 7:24 am

cooler day here, -10 now and a high of -4.

Reg I'm going to the Dyna mat on my firewall as well as the floor before I carpet. The Demon has the old firewall matt like yours does and I need to go back and redo it but to many projects around.

Have a great week all.

by GONEFISHIN' Mon Jan 07, 2019 11:11 am

Woke up to snow and freezing rain @ -2 - supposed to get warmer and straight rain later, then snow tomorrow - yuck

by Brads70 Tue Jan 08, 2019 6:07 am

Just got back from a week down near Myrtle Beach visiting the inlaws. It rained everyday but at least it was warm. Bought a bunch of parts for the Javelin, gotta take advantage of free shipping when you can! I had stuff shipped to the inlaws before hand. .... and got a speeding ticket on the way home. Opps...
Rented a 2019 Dodge minivan.... what a horrible vehicle. Even my wife noticed how horrible it was handling wise. Go around a corner/bend in the road at hwy speeds and everyone gets thrown to one side. Steering was so twitchy , like the steering ratio was too fast or something. Then the dumb transmission never stopped downshifting all the time. It was annoying. It did get really good gas mileage though I'll give it that but wow I would never own one. A disposable rental sled for sure!

Good morning 4 with possible snow in our future today and tomorrow. I say bs but who am I.
