Well, I did fire her up and move her back to her righteous place in the middle of the garage now that the S10 has been sold. Oh yeah, I sprayed penetrating fluid on the exhaust manifold bolts on the 454. Other than that I haven't done anything in the garage. I feel guilty..no
The reason? Being on here waaay too much.
Damn you Canadian Poncho! biggrin

I hate this place just as much Todd wink.gif Can you tell???

I have spent the last 2 weeks sitting here. No motivation. I finally went and put in 3 hours in the garage today, and guess what? Screwed up my lower back royally. That is why I'm so happy to be doing this trivia thread today. It's great timing. It's keeping me busy instead of mindlessly sitting here clicking "recent posts" every 30 seconds at 1 AM when I'm the only one online...

Eating? I've done way to much of that lately. I "accidently" stood on a scale yesterday- I've got 25lbs more muscle than I did 3 years ago!wink
Escuse #2:
I'm also fighting some sort of cough for the last month. Connie thinks I am getting pnumonia. I should go visit ol Doc Holiday in the new year..

ive looked at the 59 and started it once. I dont have heat in my little garage but today i might take a trip to "church" (princess auto) as my father in law calls it and pick up a heater. Im trying to make the door panels but only have one cut out so far. And Todd, i hope you dont have pnumonia, I got it really bad one year and havent been the same since. (physically and probally mentally!)

Lack of money and heat in the garage have kept me out of there. I got one of those space heaters but not sure after reading the instructions if it's all that safe to use. I have started it up in the past month and moved it outside and back in...in between snow storms. I opened the garage the other day to see if any snow blew in and the nose of the car has seen some of the "white stuff". Otherwise looks ok, just waiting for better weather. In the meantime i need to get a "to do list" ready.

I felt so honored as I drove the El C to a neighbours on Christmas day. Took the long way and drove it back to its resting spot yesterday.
