swede- this is the little guy you rescued last year? Good luck collecting.

I will be "chillaxing" and removing the remenants of the festive season.

Driving an F250 around today, with a big trailer. I dislike big trucks.



Then, off to the cleaners to have truck cleaned.




I am currently wagonless at the moment. Its currently in the shop getting serviced...


Afterwards, I am going to knock the cobwebs off the SL600, and drive it around the block... Its been sitting for about a week and a half now.

Mistress- it seems as if you have been in a sort of funk, not having your usual flair.... You ok?

No need to bring in the hounds today. I sat patiently in the waiting room for the accounts payable woman to get back to her office. Told me a check was in the mail. We shall see.

Ah, blessed relief! It's the end of another short week! Hopefully, I can get Max's sunroof fixed this weekend and then get my satellite radio installed.

I might just go see that Edward Hopper exhibit one more time before it's gone. I'm thinking hard about going to the Annie Leibovitz exhibit at the Cocoran Museum, too. So many museums, so little time!

Have a terrific weekend, all!

Talking Probably by the end of today.

I am hoping to be able to close the deal on a 560SEC chassis built Remus exhaust, the twin to THIS one. (scroll to last picture at bottom, it will look like exactly like this

http://www.mbcoupes.com/euroconversion/conversion.htm





They are NLA, and the one I am closing in on is probably the VERY LAST one new in the box, left in the entire USA.

Won't be cheap, but the very best seldom is. I found an installer down by the SF airport who is also a Remus authorized dealer and can put it in, and who has owned several SECs and is very familiar with them, so there could be a road trip coming for the car.

Is there an echo in here?

Finally done with my catalog so it can go to print this afternoon!

Sadly, that's about the extent of my excitement for the work day. Tonight, though, my oldest son & daughter each have friends coming over for pizza and a movie so it should be lively at the little homestead. To say the least. The smash and crash of not-so-little feet.

It's when they get quiet that you have to worry.

Oh, the Mrs. and I get very concerned when we DON'T hear anything! You know they're up to no good or somehow scheming to overpower us and take over.
