Accessories are all figured out so the engine is ready to drop in except for the oil pan

Had to take some of the interior out to cut the trans tunnel

Okay, there are two spots where G-bodies are notorious for rust, the rear frame rails and bottoms of the doors. I specifically asked the sellers how these areas were before going to look at the vehicles and was told both were mint condition. I can tell you mint does not mean swiss cheese or freshly painted rust. What a waste of time.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) ― The Pride Festival kicked off in Loring Park Saturday. There were live bands, food and thousands of people. It's now the third-largest gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transgender celebration in the country.

But there was some trouble there Saturday night.

Minneapolis Police arrested three people from Hayward, Wis. for trespassing. An amateur photographer named Aaron Bogle gave WCCO-TV video of a father, mother and son being arrested.

For 11 years, Brian and Doris Johnson have passed out free Bibles at the festival.

This year, they were not allowed to have a booth. Pride paid to rent the whole park and that gave them the right to choose which vendors they allowed in.

The Johnsons said they are born-again Christians and they believe homosexuality is a sin.

Police said they were each being held Saturday night on a $50 bail or a $300 bond.

$6k in rods...poof

Not sure what all else, going to have to go through it with a comb. Funny too, they left one. It happens to be the one I built so at least the most sentimental is here with me.

As for not leaving things in the boat, it shouldn't be an issue in my neighborhood unless of course one of the neighbor kids was involved. Considering my rods are all nearly custom or built locally it will be easy to identify them.

My boat has locks, I have a LOKR bar on top of that, and it is in a really nice neighborhood. My concern is will they try again? Perhaps a triggered video system of some sort will have to go in. Aargh.

Yay Loring Park

So long as you live in a neighborhood, its always an issue...hell my aunt had "BITCH" keyed into the hood of her car by a shitty little (elementary school) kid in her neighborhood, and she lives in one of those guard gated, hourly security patrol communities...

...then again I have been called paranoid several times, so take it with a grain of salt...

..still not paranoid enough to conceal carry...yet...unless you consider a Louisville Slugger in the trunk concealed carry...

[///M5 2,833]

Except in:

guest bedroom

my office

Aidan's room

Store room

Laundry room

bathrooms (for now)

...all of the lights in my house are now fully computer controllable and automated The old switches were replaced with switches that can:

understand double clicks, single clicks

have up to 8 buttons per location

can talk to each other and a computer so the status is known

can be activated directly by my soon to be installed security panel

works with the touchscreen pc's that I'll be using for remotes in rooms with TV

can respond to normal remotes in all other rooms with stereo in the house

[///M5 2,833]

Oh, the kitchen is finally painted

the Dining room is painted (needs one more coat on the top color)

Getting somewhere

Ordering a Squeezebox here in the next 24 hours as well.

Need to buy a sub amp for the RLp. It's going to become a piece of cherry furniture that goes in the corner. Pretty much need a plate amp though. Luckily I have some car audio goods to turn into home audio

I didn't mean that it will never happen here, just not the sort of place it was the norm and probably it would be another 10 years before it does again. Sucks though as now I have to carry my shit back and forth.

[///M5 2,833]

Any good options for bi-fold closet doors? Mine don't work and they piss me off.

Mama's got a squeeze box

She wears on her chest

And when Daddy comes home

He never gets no rest

'Cause she's playing all night

And the music's all right

Mama's got a squeeze box

Daddy never sleeps at night
