Good morning!!!!

Rich, great story. Easter is very cool in Europe, Easter pageants mixed with castles and ancient streets,
lots of costumes, all very pretty.
Easter parades, warm Spring day, what's not to like

Going to hit almost 80 today. Off to get a chair, boxes and bug spray ready for
volunteers coming to pick collards. I need to stay off my feet more today. Everything else may be
energized but leg cramps are increasing. Maybe I need more salt...

Thanks again guys.

My wife has been drinking Schweppes Tonic Water to help with leg cramps. It works for her. May have to much sodium and calories for your diet. According to Dr it's the quinine that helps.

That's good news Kyle. Are you scheduled for removal yet?

Thanks Rick! I put my surgery off until the Thursday after Easter, because it is an important time for our family too. Ron, I'm hoping the surgery alleviates some other issues. Everything's connected IMO.

Interesting foreign travel stories.

Drew, take it easy. Go on that lunch date. Pretty soon, you might need a dirty mop to "shoo off" the hordes of pining women.

I was sad to hear the last survivor of the Dolittle Raid passed away. What heroes. Can you just imagine, taking off of an aircraft carrier with no certainty of where you are going to land?

Well, the planet could use some work done on it....

It's 58°F this morning and high is forecast to be 80°F this afternoon. After three 90°+ days this week, a nice change.

More weed spraying today if the winds cooperate. More mowing if it doesn't.

Mostly .... you do realize the 4-door Corvette is a joke ..... artist conception? There will NEVER be a 4-door production Corvette. There will NEVER be a front wheel drive production Corvette. The WILL however, be a mid-engine Corvette ...



Travel / work in Europe, around holidays, can be interesting. I've lived there and traveled there since the early 70's. Easter is a much bigger deal there than here in the US. You just work around it. Same thing is Asia.

Hope everyone has a great Friday and excellent weekend.

Prayers to all.

Good morning all,

34 with 2" of fresh snow last night. Looks like the sky is clearing, should be a nice day.

Prayers and well wishes for all, have a nice day.

That was Dick Cole, I first met him in 2012, he attended our Wings and Wheels show in Georgetown, DE for years, there were always several B 25 bombers there. He always put his hands on them. The last time I talked to him he was 100, we were at the 40s dance, where he had danced most people into submission. He had a crisp walk, firm handshake and looked 35 years below his age. He told me he wasn’t a hero, he was lucky to be in the right place and time.

Let me add, when he put his uniform on it fit perfectly and the years melted away, that generation was special.

It would not surprise me to see an all wheel drive vette someday.

My son owned a Z06, what a fast car. I think too fast for the average person in many cases.

There are rumors, that the new mid-engine "Z06" engine, has so much torque that it's tweaking the frame rails. I suspect the "Z06" release will be delayed until 2020.

The standard coupe will be released on July 18th.
