Lou, the engine is a 351 Cleveland and the trans is a 3 speed auto C6. Nothing special, just fun.

Got slammed and didn't make it back to say hi. So here I am the next day, still slammed. I miss the times I didn't work so much...

Got it. There's some really nice neighborhoods near Detroit. Driving around for work I have been surprised at just how nice.

Bob, not sure what to make of it but the top Travel Advisor Thing to Do in Grosse Pointe is an Irish pub.

Makes perfect sense - Michigan = drinking. There's nothing lese to do there.

I should have timed my trip for St Paddy's.

News this morning said Boston is cancelling St Patrick's Day parade due to corona virus fears. Usually attended by a million.

Good morning all. Another mid 20's temperature morning.
Russ, is Zoey giving you the stink eye with the kitty in your lap?

I'm honestly not sure what I'll do with the Honda. It's not worth much on the market. I would give it to my daughter but she and her idiot husband are proven car killers. That would be a death sentence.



Thanks Al. It was a rough one. I'm going to have to work out a deal with Larry. I have a lot of work in Michigan this year and I prefer doing it from my couch.
Pretty sure I can get you a deal on a "slightly" used bus ... rip out a few seats and stop by the Salvation Army for a used couch ... Voila ... no need to thank me :>)
