WHAT DID EVERYONE DO TODAY?
The weather was beautiful. It hit 84 today so I spent most of the day outdoors. Glad to have sandal weather again. I think we bypassed spring and jumped into summer though. We are supposed to have some storms tonight so hopefully that will cool things off some.

I went to the MIGPC dyno day and had a great time. The weather was great, it was over 50 and sunny all day. Can't ask for any better in MI at this time of the year.

I took a nap. The weather is shitty, and I'm still wiped out from two trips to the East Coast. I did find a good spiked leather collar for Bo, and got a raccoon trap. Fun times for tonight.

I raked my hiney off cleaning up my yard. Even wearing thick gloves I still managed to get a blister on my thumb. Ouch!
I couldn't wait for Spring to arrive but the physical labor isn't what I had in mind.

8:00am - wake up realizing I slept through my alarm set for 6:30am.
9:30am dressed and car loaded, with bonneville fender buckled nicely in the rear seat.
9:45 - Roommate is finally ready and we jump in the car and head for Horseheads, NY
10:25 - Stop for BK in Painted Post
11:00 - Arrive at Horseheads Pick-A-Part. Walk around finding 2 center console vents from a 96 and not much else. roommate found a stripped and flipped 94 300ZX and a J30 with the rear diff missing (which he needed for the 240sx)
12:15 - Leave and head to Binghamton, NY
1:25 - Arrive at my house where Mom has lunch waiting.
2:05 - Roommate, Dad, brother and myself jump into suburban and head to Gary'* U-Pull-It. Don't find a whole lot. Picked up a honda ECU for my friend and my brother picked up ~15 side marker reflectors for Lumina/Monte Carlo'*.
3:45 - Head home, taking the long way to check on the 94 SSE SC that has been sitting outside a repair shop for 7 months. Still there. Good.
4:15 - Get home. Decide to see if we can get the SSE running. After several attempts and an hour and a half, several jumps and numerous attempts, the starter catches and she is running... doesn't sound too bad. little bit of a rough idle, valve cover leaks on the front bank, seems like some noise in the supercharger. Shut the car off to check something (bad idea) didn't get the starter to catch again. Look the car over again and inventory parts on it. notice a crack in the windshield and passenger tail light.
5:45 - Close up the red one and start the white one. Oil Guage seems to be working ok for first 5 min, then begins to go funky. I think it is a bad sensor. Shut it off just incase.
5:55 - Go inside and fix dad'* surround sound, play with the dog and eat dinner.
6:15 - climb in Lumina and head back
7:30 - Stop at a friends in Syracuse to pick up a CD and then head out.
8:50 - Welcome back to rochester. Unload car and check email.
