Good Morning Everyone!

4 checking in...

Just woke up and ready to start the day! (j/k). I've actually been working on the S today (played hookie at work). I went up to Spugen and the boys and I cleared out my amber diffusers! IT LOOKS AWESOME! I'll post some pics later.

Anywho, I just got back home, my inlaws - including my sister in law - are all here and I have to run to the store to pick up some goodies for tonight! I'll post a bit later.

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!!!

It rained a bit here this morning but then we lucked out this afternoon. The sun came out for a bit and so did the humidity. It's still humid now. On a side note as I was rounding the corner from my house this morning I spotted a bear croosing the road. The little bugger was running through the trees headed back towards my house so I turned around to see if I could get a good look at him but he must of shimmied up a tree and hid. Pretty neat my first bear sighting!

Friday 8:50PM 65*F and clearing.

It was supposed to be sunny today, but around 2PM it started to rain... and rain... and RAIN!!! The skies opened up and it flat poured. I called my wife and she said where we live (about 5-6 miles south) it was dry as a bone. It rained for most of an hour, then stopped, and it's now finally getting nice. Local radar loop on the net showed a dark green blob parked right over the office. Wierd...

We did get to have a top-down drive this evening, 'twas quite nice.

Forcast for the weekend is sunny and high 70s. If that holds true we're gonna go explore some Wisconsin rustic roads.

We had rain this morning too, but it cleared and got warm and very humid. The S had been in the garage all week. After dinner E.W.A. and I took it for a 30 mile drive. It was humid (hazy in spots) but dry and cool, especially after the sun went down. We had a nice time. Both of us were getting cabin fever from all of the rain. Good to get out in the S.

Unfortunately, its supposed to rain after midnight and rain off and on tomorrow.

We've had an increase in the bear population here in New Jersey. There has been quite a number of bear sightings in the northwest part of the state. I live, more or less, in the north central part. There have been sightings here as well, but I have yet to see any. We do see quite a number of fox and there are many more deer here then in the past.

I imagine the wildlife population is growing up by you as well. I wonder if the rainy weather this past spring has anything to do with it, ie. more food. Interesting.

The long awaited pictures of my adventures in clearing out the diffusers...

(For 56K I'll post the pics in multiple pics)...



Here's how it all started...

Nice Amber Diffusers... But I need something better...

Let's go to our friends at Spugen to see what they have to say...

Spugen says, "We'll need to tear apart your S..."


"Ok," says 4...

There goes the bumper...

"So the bumper's off, but what does the S look like?..."


"Wow, that's ugly... how bout a side profile..."


"Nope, still nasty... What's it going to look like when it's finished?"


Relax... There's more...!

Another wonderful side view... - my poor baby!


"How did the old diffusers look like?"


"So what does the light look like torn apart?"


"Wow, how about when the new diffuser is installed?"
