Looks as if we will have a great weekend. Should be great for a spring drive. Have fun!!!!:bna:

I still have a lot of work to do on mine before I can bring it out:(
I should be able to get some work done on it, if I get my headers back.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I got some work to do as well :D But that's not gonna get in the way. I'll have to test out my new shift kit for sure :D

I also have some tires I need to get through so I can buy new ones :)

Plan on being back in Wisc. Sunday or Monday so no snow, PLEASE.
Although the weather channel web page shows rain starting Sunday through Thurs. next week. That should wash away the salt on the streets.

That did a 180 from yesterday, where they predicted Partly cloudy all next week. Those guys have no clue what they're doing anyways.


Now's the part where I put forth my statistics to disprove the weathermen...

A study of many weather forecast providers was done on the internet about 2 years ago. They took notes, and came up with the percentage reliability of different weather sources.

The top on the list was the weather channel with 61% accuracy.

That's 1 time out of 10 better than a penny. Couple in the fact that they mostly forecast "partly cloudy to mostly sunny" and 50% chance of precip... well I'm sure you can deduce the rest.

They're good record keepers and weather encyclopedias, but that's about it imho.


I wish I only had to be right 61% of the time in my job.

Ok, how did "AM snow showers" turn into 1-3" overnight.

These weather people are completely on crack. It'd be different if they hadn't changed the forecast (if there is such a thing) an hour before everything started happening.

They might as well just have the "current weather" channel, because that's what it's starting to become.


Sorry, I just have to rant because this is really upsetting me now. :( :(

I put 90% of the suspension parts onto the Cobra last night.... the rest will go on when I get home from work.

Then it goes into Marv's hands for him to put on my Caster Camber plates, give me an alignment, and mount the new tires on my chrome 03 wheels.

I'll be blingin this weekend for sure!

Hmm, sounds good :)

I should give Marv a call up and set up a few piddly warranty things I need taken care of on my truck.

Get a job providing weather guesses. Ya ,thats all they seem to do, guess.
Same here in Florida, rain chances in the afternoon & it never rains. Oh, ya it did rain 50 miles away so I guess he was right, it did rain somewhere.
