Happy Birthday to all us Leos. I'm headed for Hooters again at about 6:30pm to drown my sorrows in a beer or two.

I think I'm fine for the moment. I have to excavate Brad's shipping area to see what we have before I get any more. Thanks. Need a part time job?

So I went out into the garage this morning & was like "what's that smell?....wait, that better not be what I think it is!" After I backed the SUV outta the garage the dash screen came on saying "check coolant level". After I put the car in park & got out, I noticed the whole floor of the garage had a wet, orange layer across it. I looked under the SUV & sho nuf' all the coolant in the car was dumped onto the ground. <sigh> So, I have a bottle of coolant, some water, a measuring device & an appointment at Michael's in 20min. I'll keep you posted. Dang Fresno hot weather killed the SUV!

A great time to start modding, you know NOS/ gauges/ wheels ect. That fix's everything or you just don't notice it as much. Sorry that's what I tell my other half when something breaks on my car.

Well, we didn't make it very far down the road. Had to get a flatbed to come get the CTT. Jill said she saw smoke.......I sincerely hope that's not the case. Randy, the same thought about modding had crossed my mind when we bought the car. I got over the mod bug in <5sec when I saw a cat-back exchaust cost $4-5k (uninstalled).

Sure. I can come by this weekend if you are going to be there. But if you want to use the D6, we would have to go to Tollhouse and get it.

I hope the CTT is not injured too bad.

If it costs more to fix it than a new Clubman, maybe Jill will relent and accept it. Let's try to give this a positive spin.

Somebody's got to pay for that skyscraper. That building really looks out of place in rural Coarsegold. Don't pay for it all in one night. I wonder what my house would be worth if the built something like that on their property adjoining mine? Talk about urban blight. If you lose all your money early, you know where I am and I can buy you a beer to cry in.

I've had to chase them off a couple times. I picked the white leather with black accents option to keep it somewhat coherent with Jill's theme. Yep, the kids have their own toy chest, with romp cubes & 3-level condo. Right now, I'm playing Grid on PS3 & it's taking me awhile to get used to driving on-screen. I'll keep y'all posted.
