well, let's do the whole week, since that was my vacation, but to save y'all some aggravation, I'll just cover the auto-related stuff.

Tuesday, drove 5 hours to pick up the girlfriend in the Olds. she purred like a kitten at 80 mph over back country roads to Purdue and got me 24 mpg. Pretty happy about that

Wednesday-sunday, cleaned out the pole barn (with a small break to fix the olds, which I'll explain later). Now there's enough room to bring the CJ out from the old house and put both it and the truck in there

Wednesday - it snowed. Had some fun with the Olds and the truck in the snow. I realized why people don't drive trucks in the winter. can you say NO traction? And that's granny clutching and with new tires.

Friday - the Olds bumper fell off! yeah, that's right, the aluminum core rotted through on the left side, and that side was hanging about a foot lower than the right, which was also rotting. That's why I took a break from cleaning the pole barn, I shoved everything out of the way, pulled in the Olds and got to work. Had to bolt 2 aluminum plates to the core support of the bumper to mount the 8 mounting screws that bolt into the frame horns. Now the darn thing won't EVER come off.

Saturday - got into a race with my g/f's dad eek Yeah, that's right. He asked how fast my car was, and he wanted to race me with his ford. Yeah, that's right. It was a draw, but he was pretty amazed at the smoke pouring out of the rearend.

Sunday - drove back to school frown
