HudsonJohn - Yeah, part of Fiat and Alfa Romeo and FERRARI Smile, Wink & Grin!!!

There had been some talk about using Ferrari F1 type suspension on the Viper as well as some of the technology.  but being a retro sports car (unlike the belly button Corvette), the Dodge Boys wanted to keep it a pure DRIVERS car.  The electronic doo dads and gizmos are for the country club set.  The new Dart is based off an Alfa and some of the new Alfas and Fiats will be Chrysler based.

My best Friends Dad passed away in Missouri Tuesday.  He was there and it was sudden. CHF was the cause.  I was going to attempt to go, but the weather out there (Brutus, you know) has been frightful.  He is in Columbia, MO.

OK off to bed TGIF for me tomorrow as I have Saturday off and Sunday to play with CARS!!  And finish paperwork for the D-vorce...MAN what a pain!!

My final post for this month. Tomorrow is March 1st. Bill paying day! Gonna be a bust morning I would think. The weather guesser says it'll be nice enough. Got some cleaning done on the layout today. Still needs more.

Time for me to call it a night. See y'all tomorrow.

The plow did make a pass down the street Tuesday night, so I was able to get into work easily.  Spent 4 hours last night digging out car #2 so both my wife and I could get to work today.  Getting my exercise this week.

The snow ate up the chin spoiler on my Cobalt SS.  Got it tied on for now with some zip ties.  One more project on the list now.

Phone line is still down.  I put a service call in on Tuesday.  Predicted repair time was on Saturday.  Near as we can tell, most everybody's land line is out in the neighborhood.

I did spend some time upstairs with the trains Tuesday night.  Ran most of my locomotives, just to give them some exercise.  Wiped the track down with Goo Gone while I was at it - voltage drop at the back side of the loop is gone now.

All for now.

Good Evening All!

Thanks for the CONGA'S on the grandson "news", it was quite a night. All the women couldn't wait until my #1 daughter, Carrie, removed a slice of cake. Sure wasn't like the sex parties from the 1970's!

I'm off for the next 10 day's from my main job and Cathy and I are going on a three day weekend trip. We need it as life's been real busy.

RI Jack - Looks like I'll be buying another seat in Da Bronx in a few years as the army of Yankees fans are growing! It will be fun educating another young one about the rich Yankee history, while spoiling him at the games.

Kev - If I recall, yours is due a bit ahead of mine? Late June I believe? Ours is mid July. Of course you're use to it by now, so what's your secret? Just let them have control of the transformer, right?

HudsonJohn - We plan on leaving around noon on Friday. Maybe I'll stop over and help clean up around the house a bit?

Time to play some games before going to bed so, goodnight!

Hi GUYZ,

  Nice here at 37.  Gonna be windy today, got PT done now gonna take MINNIE for a walk to river.   Work on layout later.

DENNIS V8 MINNIE is a weird cross between a black lab and a chiwauwau.  Figure that out and we will both know.  Gentleness of a lab but the speed and agility of the Wauwau.

STURFISH, TGIF!!!!! Glad to see you agin.

JACK,KEV,JEFFERY, nope not a social drinker, I buy the big cans.  15.5 gal. pretty hard to recycle, and will take a loss.  Little cans are from outdoor beer season which starts the first day of trout season on March 30.

JOEY D, don't say that your WIFE makes BINNELLA ICE CREAM, SIR JAMES is lurking.

SIR JAMES?!!!!!Stick out tongue

RYAN, Good job with the catYesBeer!!!

HUDSONJOHN,keep on rocken!

BRENT, beauty of a gal better lock her up before HS.

BUCKEYE & CHUCK, TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stay frosty my friends,
