Something in the water? I got 68 fever

Well I need to stop surfing C/L on my lunch break. I just drove this home 70 miles tonight. Super sweet driver with power windows, buckets console. Got some typical crappy rust repair in the 1/4s and fenders but so do 90% of the cars out there. I'm officially broke now....time to start selling.

Careful, It becomes very addictive. After we got the house we are in I decided to get one and part it out. That one found a mate somewhere and started to breed like rabbits. Now I am busting at the seams with them. At least I just sold one and delivering it today.

LOL so have you looked at the plans for the upcoming tollway out by us? One of the proposed routes damn near puts a shadow of an overpass over my place.

I have not seen that. Does that tie into the Merritt interchange. I thought they were done with it. It come across the lake about 1/2 mile behind our house and sure has created a lot of noise.

I am going to be at the Warbirds On Parade Show tomorrow. It is at the Lancaster Airport. It is a fundraiser for the Commemorative Air Force. They are supposed to have 40 WWII planes there and the car show. For an extra 15 buck I can photograph my car with one of the planes. I think it will be fun if it doesn't rain. Here is the link:
