I'm back y'all!
What I want to know is...who came by and worked on my boat? It seems to be going 2-3 MPH faster than when I left!
What's the deal?
Actually, right before I left I took it for a ride and noticed that it was going faster. I also noticed a chine walk that was never there before.
Strange...
So, what have you all been up to?
I spent 3 weeks in the glorious great white north and boy did it suck. It was cold as a bitch, and we got snow 3 times to boot. At one point, we measured the snowfall halfway in the storm, 8.5 inches and rising!!!!!
We had some fun, but mostly it was freezing cold out, and getting bundled up was a routine that often took 5-10 minutes. Being a Floridian for so many years makes one's blood a bit thin.
Corvette took a dump twice. The first time I come out of the house and I had a flat on my brand new Goodyear. Turned out to be a rim leak, the local Firestone dealer fixed it for free! I guess they are on a good guy spree or something.
Second time, I had anti-freeze dripping onto my floormat on the passenger side. Freaking heater core. Which surprised me seeing how I put in two gallons of anti-freeze before I left Florida. So I bought some stop-leak and it disappeared. I am going to have to do a heater core job soon I guess. And that is one of the worst jobs to do on a chevy, let alone a Corvette.
Other than that, no other problems. The ride back to FLA was uneventful, but tiring. My back is killing me and I feel as if I did the Daytona 500...twice!
When I had gotten to Philly last month, I fell out of the car, and had a hard time standing up! The vibration from that thing killed all my nerve endings!
What a time. I won't be doing it again real soon I can tell you that.
So, what did Santa bring you guys? I guess the most memorable present I got was the Beatles Anthology. VERY interesting. Though the picture of Don Aronow and the Beatles was conspicuously missing, unless I just haven't been able to find it.
What ever happened to those photos going up for auction?
Missed you guys! Is everyone getting ready to go to the Portofino? I am psyched, let me tell you. I wasn't able to mingle as much as I would have like last year, and I want to do more of it this year.
Donzi! Yeah!
I can not wait to take 007 out for a ride again. But I think I will wait until the weather heats up a bit. I am just tired of the cold!
