Hey Ruby, Congrats on the headers, are those LTs or Shorties? What tune are you planning on getting?

"I heard you on the wireless back in Fifty Two
Lying awake intent at tuning in on you.
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through.

Oh ... oh

They took the credit for your second symphony.
Rewritten by machine and new technology,
and now I understand the problems you can see.

Oh ... oh
I met your children
Oh ... oh
What did you tell them?

Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star..."

Hey Stranger, Hawaya?

Long tubes & high flow cats with H-pipe. I haven't completely decided on the tune but leaning toward Trifecta just because they have been around longer.

On Radio, I am surprised it has survived this long. Every day I end up yelling "shut the F_ _ _ up" to my radio as they talk about stupid stuff, have dumb trivia contests, or have callers sing (all in addition to the endless commercials) instead of playing music. What I am upset about is that they are not putting CD players in cars anymore. The quality of digital music just sucks not to mention it is a PITA! Does any one else miss going into a music store & flipping through the albums/CD's & going home with the music you selected?

Okay rant over. Going to bed now. Anyone got some Xanex?

I have just about decided not to take the new job offer. Just sounds risky to me & no bonuses. I am going to call & talk to a supervisor (with our company) about a position in my hometown. I sure would love giving up that hour long commute (1 hr 20 min after we move) 2X per day. I would have to start seeing clients of all ages though & be under a totally different management structure. We shall see.

It will be in the 20's tonight for lows & cold again tomorrow. I'm tired now. Good night all.

Hope they give you what you want (supervisors).

Weather here was weird today; overcast and 80 (according to my car), 12 above normal. I zipped to the store at lunch. Even at Costco, Sally's got 'tude.

There are 2 brackets on the back of this sign, one on each side. I could hammer 2 nails into the wall and hang it off of that. Just need to decide where I want to hang it.

HRS looks awesome!

High today was 92. Lows will go into the 60's. But the rest of the week will only see highs in the 80's.

Good luck with the tune. I lost my nerve when I learned that the ecm keeps a "tune count" even if you flash it back to stock before taking it in for service.

I need my warranty. unless I have the winning lotto numbers for tonight - then it's game on and a whole lot more

Point your car in the direction of the sunset and GO! Stop between 350 and 250 miles before you get to the big water.

The LLT is the one Camaro that does not keep a tune count. We are the only ones that can get away with it. As long as you re-flash the tune before taking it in for service they can't tell you had one. I am not worrying about it as I will not be taking my headers off just to get it serviced. Unfortunately the tune its self does not make that much of a difference in HP but with headers you have to get a tune to keep it from throwing check engine codes. If you check the V6 section you will see where a LLT owner who had headers & his engine blew, is getting his engine replaced under warranty. Soooooooooo, that is good and bad news. Bad that yet another LLT engine blew up but good to hear he is being taken care of. Of course it helped his cause that he took it in for engine noise & it blew when the tech took it out for a drive. Can't beat that for timing if your engine has to go.


Happy Hump day all. I gotta leave early this morning as they are paving along a long stretch of my usual route & the altrenate route I will have to take has more heavy traffic & takes longer. We have our first supervision with out new supervisor this morning too. Later crew. HAGD

OT tonight. Getting caught up, but not there yet.

[RubyCamaro]

Well I had a very busy & productive day in a number of ways. I still had some no show clients this morning but used that time to talk to Nick from ARH more about my headers & the clinic Coordinator of our local office about a possible position less than 5 mi from home. That would be soooooooooooooo nice to be back at the local office. But it would be all ages & not just kids or just preschoolers like now. I would sure love to have that 2 hours of drive time back though. Then all my afternoon clients showed up.

Then my exersize class. I actually went to class, then sort of skipped class & worked out on my own. I got there late because of work & they were well into learning a new & very hard dance. I was not motivated to learn a new & difficult dance that did not look fun and that I had missed part of the teaching of. Add to that the fact that I only have a month & a half of class left........ Why spend time learning a new dance now? The learning does not burn that many calories or give you that much exercize. When class is ongoing it keeps it interesting & fun & keeps you from getting "muscle memory" (you get so used to doing the same thing over & over that you don't get much benefit from it anymore). But at this point, I just want to burn calories, get good exercize & try to lose the rest of this tummy. It is a bonus if it is fun but I was not having fun so I went upstairs & did alternating laps of walking, fast walk, fast run & jog and did some walking lunges. When I got home I was spent........totally. I had a few chores to do before my bath & now I have some notes to do. It will be a late evening.

Tomorrow I drive the Cruze for the last time & we turn it in on Friday. I had to drive a different route today & will have to for a while as they are paving a long stretch of my usual route. There is heavier traffic on that route & it is more stressful. I am pretty stressed out & sort of depressed about all this work change. I HATE CHANGE!!!!

Glad I have Ruby. Thinking about her new mods & Camaro events keep me distracted at times like this. We have a cruise & lunch this weekend to give one of our club members who is in the Army a good send off before he is moved to another post.

Well, we made it past hump day so.................come on weekend! Sweet dreams all.

That's why younger "manager types" hate us. I'm guilty of it too, but have learned to embrace change by keeping my mouth shut.

I know how you feel Rick. I just finished a 12 hour shift as well.
I don't think you ever really get caught up, but it does help.

We are busy at work as well. I have already worked 5 hrs of OT this week and I will be working more on Sat. At least the extra money will help.
