Excitied about my 4 day weekend coming up. Got a busy time ahead of me. Gotta fully detail the HHR and finish the GTO. I only got the front 1/2 of my car done before the weather broke.

Also got my firepit all setup so summer is going to be a blast.

On a bad note, the kitties decided they don't like the new livingroom furnature and pissed all over it. Spent ALL DAY yesterday cleaning it. The cats are not allow out of the bathroom now and we called a few places to take them. Waiting for return calls. If they aren't gone by Wed they are getting the needle.

poor kitties

TR MS3 · 05-24-2010, 08:36 AM

Reminds me I have to get rid of my redneck burn barrel and make my fire pit as well.

jpalamar · 05-24-2010, 08:38 AM

There is an iron working place on 724 between Pottstown and SPring City that can make you a really cool lid. A few peices of bent rod, then some heavy duty screening and you have a dome lit to put over it for worry free burning.

I'm going to have them make me custom grates for my grill so that when I make a steak, my initials a burnt into it.

jpalamar · 05-24-2010, 09:05 AM

^ I wanted to go, but ended up not making it because Julie's car was delivered on Saturday.

Was a great time. Never seen so many deisel trucks in my life before either. A lot of mustangs as well. I didn't go down with my mustang, but I didn't see one mustang down there in my color which I thought was odd.

Snoozie · 05-24-2010, 09:15 AM

Awesome, Jacki!

I'm am so freaking exhausted. My ears are still ringing from the concert Saturday and I'm having a hard time hearing anything.

She got pre-approved for the loan a month ago. Then started looking. Found one that was about 10 hours away. Had the dealer snap about 50 picks of the car, a video of it startinf, running, WOT, ect. Got a GMVIS report(all maintance done by GM, ect.) Its an 08 HHR SS wtih 11k miles. Perfect condition. Told them if they would ship the car we would buy. The had no problem driving the car to us for an extra $200. The drove it here on Satuday, we took it for a quick drive and doulbe checked it, so we signed the check and title. The guy said it was an 11 hour drive but the dealer was paying them $10 an hour + food and lodging. We grilled some burgers for the guy when he got here so he could take a break and all while we did a once over on the car.

The only reason we were willing to virtually buy the car site unseen, is because the car was bought new at the dealer, and all maintance was done there. They had the receipts, 2 full lets of keys, and books for the car. Plus the car was 1 of 177 made in the color so choices were really limited being that it was an auto so it was maybe 1 in 50?

I know. I always say after a concert that I should have worn ear plugs. We were also really close, so I'm sure that didn't help.

Won't be a problem. Julie has a nack for finding PITA cars. Our credit union also got a decent interest rate too, 5.5% even with her ex's late payment last year. I sold the Talon and used the money to pay the tax an tags.

yea probably not. I remember when i used to be right next to the front speakers crowding the stage with no problems. The last concert i went to my ears were ringing and i was in the center half way in the back. aging sucks.

i'm sleepy today. but i get my keg kit today!!

sweet, thats great to hear. i saw a car that i wanted in hawaii. i wonder if it would be super complicated to buy? given how your experience went, i think it would be easy.

Morning everyone. Nice to finally have a day off after working 6 12 hour days in a row.
