Car Show, Sort of

Got to the new car show today but had to cut it short after my mom called 10 minutes after I got there and said she was trying to get a slot at the dentist due to the bad weather coming tomorrow. Well, I got the brochures I wanted, checked out a couple of cars and headed home. I called just before I got on the PATCO Speedline and she hadn't heard from them yet. I called again after I got back to my place and she still hadn't heard anything. Never called so my day was ruined for no reason. Nothing new. I think I might go again on Saturday. I want to get there right when it opens so we can check out as many cars as possible and take a look at some of the classic and vintage cars. In the meantime, back to work on my Zazzle store and getting up to speed on color management at Blurb.com so I can start working on publishing some of my photos. I'd like to get at least two books of them out this year by the holidays so I can have more of my stuff out there to sell. If I do them right, I think they'll sell well. Won't know until I try.

It's Sunday

It's Sunday and it's actually sunny outside and there's a little bit of melting going on. It's supposed to get colder tomorrow. Figures, the day I plan to go to the Philadelphia Auto Show it's supposed to get colder. Happens every damn time. I think I've got the transmission glitch fixed. The fluid was a bit low so I got some and added some until it read full. Took it out this morning after a cold night and it seemed to be okay. I think the fluid was low enough that it needed to warm up so there was enough in the mechanism to work.  I guess I'll just have to keep an eye on it from now on. Car's got a lot of miles on it so I guess it comes with the territory. Have to keep up with it until I can get a new one.

More crappy weather is on the way, too. Supposed to have sleet turning into rain on Tuesday and freezing rain to rain on Wednesday. I'm really getting tired of this shit. Can't wait for February to go away. It's been a long winter so far. Back's still bugging me a bit from shoveling that heavy snow. Have to keep doing the stretching and exercise. Spring training starts in about two weeks so that's one harbinger of spring and the Rolex 24 at Daytona is finishing today. That's the start, more or less, of the car racing season in the US. I'm really looking forward to warmer weather. Can't wait to start exercising outside again.

Got Stuff Done

Well, I actually got something done today. Got a walk in to try the new sneakers and I think I fixed the issues with my transmission. I think the fluid was a little low and when it got really cold, it would be reluctant to go into drive. I added some fluid today so we'll see tomorrow if it works properly. Here's hoping. I'm also thrilled about the Rolex 24 at Daytona is running since that means it's the start of racing season in the US. It's a great endurance race. Lots of fun to watch, especially on TV. Going to the new car show on Monday. Maybe this will be the year I FINALLY can swing a new car. I hope so. The show is a lot of fun. They also have classic cars on display from some local clubs and museums. Going to check them out and then hit the main display floor. I want to try some cars on for size. It may sound a bit odd, but other than good reliability, my two main criteria are headroom and legroom. Especially headroom. If there's at least an inch between the top of my head and the headliner, we're good. Legroom is next. Especially if I have to move the seat forward to reach the pedals. I love that. We'll see what happens.
