There must be MANY "Key Bridge"s in this country. Got one in Baltimore, too. At least the Baltimore one has a historical reason ( more or less) for the name. It is located approximately where Francis S. Key was held captive on a British ship during the bombardment of Ft McHenry.

Yaaa! It's Fry-Deeee again. Woohoo! That God for Friday and for the weekends. I'm hoping to be able to install a new Alpine head unit in the Dee8gonator this weekend, among other things.

Maybe this will be the weekend I get my friggin' garage cleaned out enough to get the Dee8gonator in it. It just depends upon (1) the weather and (2) my energy level. We'll see . . . .

I believe that's who the one over here in Washington is named for, too.

Like mg, we're also awaiting the next Weather-Armageddon. :rolleyes: I like the extra money that comes with the white stuff (10 residential accounts all in the neighborhood) but the novelty has really worn off and I'm getting fat and complacent now that it's extra money and not needed money. OTOH there are a lot of landscapers, many of them customers of ours, that really need the money so I'm happy they've been busy thusfar.

Not much going on today, just selling a lot of icemelter and trying to get my hardware prices set for the spring. Might just settle onto the couch with the kids tonight and watch something on the new BluRay. DD and son #2 both have colds so it's only a matter of time before it runs its course through all of us.

Tomorrow S#1 has a town league game at 8:00 and a CYO league game at 10:15 a half hour away and then DD has a town league game at 1:00. Lots of driving and hoops tomorrow! That's if the Snow Storm of the Century doesn't bury us under 4"-27' of snow.

That reminds me, I never snapped an after picture of the garage post-dumpster with the TD in it. It's actually far from "after" but a car does indeed fit in it!

I had to read that line 3 times before I realized you DIDN'T trash out and insert the TD into the dumpster...it was the garage's CONTENTS that got trashed and the TD was the one being stuffed into the garage... :rolleyes:

I've been reading too much about Johnhef's tirade on that 350SLC and for a moment, I thought you went "bear" on your own TD and stuffed it in the dumpster... :confused: :eek: :rolleyes:

God, I'm glad it's Friday...I need to recharge the few pieces of gray-matter I've got still floating around in space...they get lonely and forget each others' names now and then... :cool:

the delorean is getting worked on as I type. I've got an hour before I get out of class and get to see whats up

I need to get a new tail lamp bulb since one appears to be out.

R Leo 01-09-2009 10:51 AM

We just got back from a walk around the farm to look at cows, donkeys and clover. Saw some whitetails really early when we first went out. Jeez, will it ever rain again here? My Crimson is lookin' tapped and yellowy...2" of rain would make a huge difference.

I'm going to spend at least part of the day under the front of the house finishing the underpinning. Then, it's a shower and some quality time banging out some code for $$$.

Smog the 600, do the brakes and a sensor on the 190E.

TheDon 01-09-2009 01:00 PM

check it out. He just started working on it.

the bottom half will be repaired off the car.

TheDon 01-09-2009 03:13 PM

Here is where he stopped for today since he had to go get his kids from school

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y74...s/IMG_4651.jpg

the bottom half will be fixed tonight at his house and he will piece it all back together tomorrow.

He said he will then sand everything and fill in with body filler so its level and ready for paint.

Angel said he needs to remove some of the riv nuts by the intake duct hole so he can get a good layer of glass down.

which means I will need to wetsand the entire back half of the car and then shoot it with the paint I choose.


he also looked at the frame and told me where a good place to cut off the damage would be and to hammer it straight. So pretty much if I do it right I am only looking at replacing the 90deg corner piece, which I can easily fab up myself

What breasts? It's going down to 9 degrees tonight here in the lovely Tri-State area and it's my last weekend of kitty duty. The rest of the time will be spent playing "Lounge Lizard" and partaking of some adult beverages and listening to some Opera.

First off,you could never counterfeit a reptile.Second,keep those luscious orbs warm and cozy,the liquor should help,on many levels.

In between phone calls, I'm getting all the utilities for the new pad transferred in my name (water, trash, gas, elec.).

It was 10 degrees on my drive in this morning....
