I miss my cars!!!!!!!!!
« on: January 30, 2007 - 08:09:39 PM »
This is why I hate a job that requires a lot of travel. I get on the road and all day long I think about working on my toys. The night before I left I installed all the brake lines, portioning valve, mc, hoses and installed kits in the front calipers, now I gotta run the 3/8ths fuel line and sender before I can start it up.

So I get an email tonight asking me to do a two day job around Ocala Fl.   It just never stops.

Took 2 days here in Tampa for them to get the high speed internet up. I was jonesing.

And back to the main part of my post....I wanna play with my cars!!!!!!!

Sounds like you all are somewhere warm.  I miss my cars too . . one is in pieces and the other in storage.  Not going to see either one of them on the road anytime soon!   :walkaway:   I really don't care to much for winter but I deal with it as Michigan is my home but maybe one day I'll have a second home somewhere warm, probably not anytime too soon though.   :grinno:

I can definately relate to you missing your Baby. Even if I am not doing any work on her, I still have to walk out to the garage everyday when I get home from work and talk to her. Maybe for those times when I have to travel I can set up a pc in the garage with a camera and then I can at least say goodnight to her at days end. I am sure that there are times when she gets lonely and just needs someone to talk to or a hug.

Hey Al,
