I didn't get anything done this weekend as planned. I forgot we had a wedding and reception on Saturday and Sunday I was sick as a dog with a stomach bug.

Shaun it is looking really good.

I have done nothing with my car since we tried to drive it to the Michigan Chevelle Club Picnic on Saturday. Didn't make it out of the subdivision and it was already running a little to hot to take on a 45 minute drive. I think the thermostat is stuck, but I have been so frustrated about it that I haven't wanted to go into the garage.

I looked under mine to see about a quarter size puddle of oil coming out of the tranny.
So i'm guessing that here pretty soon I'll have a lot of " what did you do to your Chevelle today" comments.

Didn't have any time, had to take my 10 yr old to the emergency room. The tire swing at school fell on her and 2 other girls. She should be fine just have to go see an orthopedic doc to get the all clear. Sore back and she gets out of doing everything for a week, besides it was raining today.

Looked at the car today. Thought to myself how much detailing I have to do before I put it away for the winter. But I am not ready yet, to put it away. I am hoping to do a couple more "Trick or Trunk" shows before the end of the month.
