alcohol usually warms me up instead of cooling me down. hahahaha. hope you got some rest.
wife said she's got the GE washed today. great news. one less car to wash on the weekend. lol. i looked at the GE this am and it looked filthy...brown and all ikky. (should be white).
it's high 40F's and sunny today so not bad. hope to drive home again with the window cracked open. i like hearing my G's exhaust. otherwise no car action.

I don't know what the high is supposed to be but the thermometer on the porch says it's 79 degrees right now... This isn't at all normal and has to be some kind of record... It's too warm for more than 1 beer today... I skipped out on having a drink last night and hit the sack at 4:30 AM... I'm glad I don't have a job because I wouldn't last long at anything.

Yeah, the weather has been really weird in Texas...this is the warmest winter I can remember. I'll probably be washing my car outside this weekend...in shorts.
Hopefully it's not a sign of how hot this summer will be, we had enough of that last year. We had a blizzard of a cold winter (at least by TX standards) followed by a record breaking hellish summer, so maybe this year it will be the opposite with a mild winter and a cool summer. There's probably no chance in hell that will happen.

dang, that's warm! ... borderline hot.
wheew, just got back from a quick biz trip. the fog this am did not help with my flight...almost missed my connecting flight. lol.
anyway, im glad to be back. the crappy rental they gave us was like a boat ride from hell with its soft suspension. hahaha.
looks like snow this weekend for me so i guess i will clean the G again using the no-rinse wash. wish i could at least wash the salt out of the nooks and chassis...
while waiting for my flight was checking out picts i took of my cars last summer. can't wait for spring. i heard the darn groundhog saw (or didn't see) his shadow today..watever it was 4more weeks of winter.

there was a winter like this year back 20yrs or so ago that i remember....perhaps that was 1989... it was warm enough i went out cycling with my buddies on xmas eve. hahahaha.
this am commute was pretty sad. not sure wtf these 2 idiots were thinking but they were racing each other or competing to get ahead of one another. i stayed far back trying not to get hit by them... yet i passed them doing speed limit eventually. lol
then one of them stuck to my arse a few moments after so i switched lanes and let him pass. another 2 blocks down again, i pass both of these idiots while doing speed limit. im not even trying to pass them...hell, i want to keep away from them. they just suck at driving or something. hahahaha.
TGIF! left work early today since i got back late yesterday from the trip. and bucket washed my G. wooot! she's clean again.

drove the GE this am to run some errands. my head was in a cloud (alert, but not fully functional...lol) so it was kinda nice letting the car shift itself while i drove kinda slow.
finished the errands and just relaxing today. wife's been pretty busy running other errands today in the GE as well. im glad she got it washed the other day. too tired to wash the car today even though it's sunny and 36F.

stopped by the drug store tonight to pickup some cough drops for my kids... first time ever in 8yrs i parked my G at a drug store. lol. yah my car is old and may not monetarily be worth more than a used Fit, it's still a nice machine in my head and in like-new condition, not replaceable now in this condition since no longer built. hahaha.
that was the longest/scariest 6min i had spent in a while. lol came out scratch/ding/broken window free. wooot! i really need to get another car like the Fit for my daily tasks. this is rediculous.

not much car action today, looking forward to my drive home.
i got another micro usb flash drive to use on my Z through amazon. it's by SanDisk called Fit 8GB or something... hahaha. and good reviews so hopefully this one will last longer than one year like the ebay one i bought.
the pioneer HU in my Z has the usb port on the front panel as i use it to charge my mobile from time to time.

a lady parked her huge suv next to my car and i was pretty sure i got a ding looking at how close she parked her car. but luckily no ding. was so frikken happy. hahaha

just got back home... was only about 2inches at most but the blowing snow made it a little deeper in some areas. overall no issue driving the G.
there were other FR cars like a few benz that were slipping and sliding especially while turning... you bought a $40K car, get some damn snow tires to go with it. lol or at least get their 4matic or watever their awd system is called.
looks like another round of light snow on monday....so no car cleaning this weekend.

Today had to run one more errand before supper so took the GE as usual. Some youngster douche in dad's large new Audi sedan stuck to my arse while I was doing speed limit with everyone else. He found an opening and blew past me and cut me off as he stuck a pass. I was like wow kiddo, you have a snot hanging from your nose. I just igonored him, switched lanes while coming up to traffic. Ended up passing him and 15+ cars while slowing down waaay below speed limit without even trying and left him in the dust. .
