Happy Birthday to me! 74 yrs old. Time flies.
The '95 Corvette Coupe lasted 9 months with me and is gone. Sold to Guinn's. Cost of last repair was 600 labor and about 340 in parts. Being as I came close to selling it for 3500 bucks with the water pump and optispark needing changing out, I did come out ahead fixing it and getting 5000 for it.


It's replacement. An '03 50th Anniversary in great shape. Story on it was seeing it on the internet for sale and seeing it was in Ragley really got my interest. Price of 13,500 was good also. 108,000 miles on it. So, after a few text messages to the wife or owner and a few calls to owner, I got up there and looked at the car. We even went for a ride in it so I could see how it ran. Was surprised at how much more room it had than my C4.
Next was waiting for the repairs to be completed on my car and get it sold. Got the call from Mark's Auto Monday morning it was done. So, we got ahold of the buyer and all was done pretty fast.
Tuesday was waiting for  Home Health Nurse to come discharge me and that happened just before 9AM, then went and got the plates off the old Vette so I could turn them in, get the notification and get my insurance canceled.
Then to the bank for money to pay for car and to Sulpher for paperwork and pay for car. A big bag of receipts on work done on the car. Then back to Jennings and to the insurance place to cancel ins on '95 car and get ins on the '03 car. Then to Dept of MV and it was very crowded so back home to wait till morning.
So , this morning DMV and all done fast with about 1050 bucks for taxes and paperwork and lic plate. Call my friend to see if he wanted to ride out with me and bring my truck back from Ragley and we were gone.  Learning the car and instrumentation is next. So enjoyed driving it back home today. Got the bugs off, a little wax on the hood and battery tender on to bring batt up to full charge. Checked oil > good  Checked tires,  One low. Fixed that.
Even clean the truck windshield.
Finished put little work tables together to stack some metal roofing on also. Then that was it for the day. Weather that was coming hit us about 7ish and mostly the 1st wave has passed. Looks like we may get to be in a seam between the bad stuff. We'll see.
To the next.
