Put my ankle bracelet around the cat's neck so the Feds won't think anything funny is going on around here while I'm gone. That cat sleeps around 17 hours a day and then jumps around on the furniture at night. Yeah, that's about right. Now to choose between wearing the wife-beater or the blue jean overalls without a t-shirt.

I knew you'd do it! Keep us posted with lounge singers and hooker reports. No pics needed.

"The best laid schemes o' mice an' men..."

So I won't be making it to Vintage after all. :bawl: My life has turned upside down in the past few weeks and I just can't get away one week before our wedding. I hope you guys have fun and drink a beer or six for me.

I have to admit defeat on the M5. I don't have the tool to get the front shocks out of the housings, and I'm too tired to mess with it right now. The rear trunk seal isnt done either. Halfway through the last minute wrenching, I got a rumbly in my tummy, and not in a good way. I think at this point Im just gonna take some Pepto-Bismol and leave in the morning with my DD. See you guys there.

Couldn't swing today off as we've got on person on vacation this week and I've got to go pick up a Bentley Conti, so.....yeah, I'll be a little late.

Spent last night :puke: ing.

I think it was food poisoning, but another employees husband had the flu last week, so I'm gonna give it a couple more hours and see if I feel better. If I get better in a few hours, it was food poisoning, and I'll come; if not: it was the flu, and I won't come so as to not spread the pandemic to e28ers around the country...

After mimosas out on the veranda, we're going to run the horses. Staff is short today and we're running late to the show. First stop will be the "Moosehead" tent for some cookies. I have the munchies for some reason.

The Beer Garden was amazing!

I would say you sister in law is a quite a fetching young lady...I hope I don't get banned from seeing her again after tonight.... :banana: Seriously though, she's quite the number.
