Captain Slow Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 My neighbor called as we were finishing dinner. He wondered what I had to remove tar from his niece's car. She lives in rural southern Illinois and drives down tar and chip roads every day. This poor car was covered with thousands of little tar dots. I headed over with Goo-Gone. Two old MF towels and 1/3 of a bottle later her late '90's Gran Prix is tar free. We washed it a second time then gave it two coats of wax for good measure. I got a big kick out of lending a hand to a great neighbor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFairbanks Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Christmas in June? Something like that. I have always thought it was better to have too much as opposed to too little. You know how it goes; it's all about numbers. On a side note, after a long day yesterday was up early to go do some plumbing for an aunt. Then went to lunch with my wife, come home and took a much needed nap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwag one Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Went to look at a 67 and 68 Camaro. The 68 is all original. Both are barn finds....I'm going back tomorrow with cash and trailer hoping to bring something home. Pics will come.

Chewy Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Just finished watching the WWDC for Apple. They've completely redesigned iOS and really added some MUCH needed punch to an overall secure and easy to use system IMO. They've also integrated it even more into the new Maverick OS which is ALWAYS nice. I'm looking forward to the fall now! MAYBEN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Slow Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) Raced a severe thunderstorm home and lost. Nothing worse than sitting at a stop light when the tornado sirens go off. I got poured on but fortunately no hail though I did see rotation in the clouds. There was a storm chaser taking photos of that rotation as well. BTW: Mike Seidel and the Weather Channel crew are at the plaza about 750 feet west of my house. http://www.weather.com/video/live-mike-seidel-before-taking-cover-37295 Edited June 13, 2013 by sportredmistress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PacificNWBuckeye Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Saw Man of Steel last night, it was the best iteration of Superman in a long time. I am partial to Superman with Christopher Reeve, it has it's dated effects, but several of the flight scenes are practical effects and still look amazing. Man of Steel can stand with that movie, gone are the bright colors of the big blue boy scout and we are presented with a real world take of a super hero hiding in our midst. I already have tickets for a 3D IMAX showing tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBlack151 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Did some cleaning around the house, and installed the baby seat into the truck. Then out of nowhere found a nice area to take the truck for some light offroading. Then just as I pulled back into the driveway at my house my wheels went cockeyed. Yup the bold holding the tie rod came off while I was having fun. BOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I'll fix it in the morning. Now I'm just waiting for my friend to pick me up in his new Raptor to show him the spot that worked over my truck so he can break in his. Then off for some dinner and drinks with the boys tonight. Have a great weekend all you fellow SHINE FREAKS!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFairbanks Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 So where I live there is a fairly large walk path for people and horses right behind my house. It is just kind of natural as far as vegetation. My kid calls me this afternoon to tell me that the dumb a** behind us decided to have an open pit fire on a windy day.....I got home and it was dark, but I guess it melted the fencing toasted the neighbors hay pile and a fair amount of the walkway.

CMDChase Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 My wife and I took a break from our trip to the Rockies to visit Adams. Matt took us for an entire tour of the facility and we got to meet most of the people who work there (Jose is doing great, BTW). Also got a chance to spend time with Adam and Dylan. What a great group of people to be associated with. Truly a first-class operation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFairbanks Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Worked 11.5 hours then come home and tore apart the wife's center console on her charger to get at the park interlock. Fun stuff. Those of you that have one, if you find it not going out of park this is the reason why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Slow Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Something happened with one of my Adam's products today. Anyone care to guess which product and what happened? Hint: It was about time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
