Thanks, Marty. "I'm movin' on up to the East side, to a dee-luxe apartment in the sky-y . . . !"

Yeah, that's my next move, a deluxe apartment in the sky. Maybe one of those cribs at the new Turnberry Towers they're building here.

Absolutely. Even I joined up there acouple of weeks ago. AND I don't even own a Diesel.

They have the most incredible grille badges, too, that TheDon made for them.
He is the head Moderator over there.

I'm called "Schrodiger's_Cat" over there.

Yeah, it's a neat site.

I don't have enough time to post much though. MBshop is enough and still my favorite. Good OD, excellent tech help sections and Phil at FastLane rocks.

Dee8go, I'm pretty sure which car you purchased. Great taste!

Congratulations on the wagon Dee8go! It must be nice knowing you have a rust free MB. Make sure you set up a photo gallery when you get a chance. There should be a w123 wagon club. (or is there already?)

PS: I like the DIY and w123 boards at the "other site" too. I need all the help I can get.

It's Fry-dee again. Woohoo! My first week at work has gone well. As soon as I get my new routine down, I'll be a happy camper.

Going to try and get Maxwell ready to pass inspection, mow my fresh crop of leaves up, and do some repairs on the house this weekend.

I also found out I won something at a pen show I went to last week. I NEVER win anything, so that's pretty momentous, whatever it turns out to be.

I hope all of you have a tremendous weekend.

Geez, Dee, you're on quite a roll! Run with it!

A buddy of mine talked me into covering his paper route so he could get away for a few days with his Mrs. So 3AM rise and shine for me, this morning through Sun. And it figures the Sox/Rockies game was close the whole way so I stayed up for it. Dragging @$$ this morning is an understatement! I've got a big ol' tub of ice coffee going. I keep telling myself "$300 in cash. $300 in cash." Not too bad for 11 hours of work, but boy does it suck. I don't miss those days at all!

I'm looking forward to the Pats/Skins game on Sunday. My oldest son and I are heading up with my brother and his BIL. I haven't been since the Bills game back in Sept. so I'm pumped. I'm hoping to get my brother to drive. Not so much because of overindulgence, more so I can catch some zzzzz's on the ride home since it's a later game (4:15) and I'll be up at 3.

Good luck! I hate being out numbered by kids. They intimidate the hell out of me! I could NEVER teach elementary school.
