Nosy bastid, ain'tcha.
I bought an Alloy Craft SS battery heat shield and the SS spark plug cover. Eric makes some very nice stuff. I needed a new heat shield after pulling out the Invidia header, and I saw the AC snap-on spark plug cover which will match the shield nicely.
I also bought an AUT Design radiator plate, which should be showing up today. I'm probably going to order a Moddiction short shifter this week as well.

Jerry and I went to the "Hound Classic" today. A dog competition. I wanted to see my favorite breeds, like German Shepherds and Alaskan Malamutes. Alas, hounds do not include those breeds. I didn't make the "hound" connection until we only saw hound type dogs. The Afghans were very graceful. I didn't know they came in so many colors. It was warm at about 90* so the show people were placing cooling blankets on the backs of the Afghans while they were waiting their turns to run the dogs around for the judge.

Yeah, I think Shepherds are considered working dogs for show purposes.

The +1 ran the last half of the race in the rain, but he didn't mind. It was awful out when we drove to our friends' house but we made it OK. Coming back was much better. Tomorrow the Caps play the third game of the playoffs against the Rangers. They are up 2-0 so far in the series, but this game will be in NY. Go Caps!

Horrendous storms blew threw yesterday. Glad I planned on staying at home! Tornadoes damaged a lot of places south of here and we were under tornado alert for HOURS. We got some wind, rain and a few storms, but no damage here. Others did not fare as well. I'll be finishing up work around here today and +1 has a car show he wants to visit later. I may take the S just to make all those old guys with the 50s and 60s classics jealous. They just don't appreciate a real car.

Sounds like fun, Val. We had some real good gusts of wind and lots of rain last night. The weather was wild, but thankfully, we are not in the typical area for tornadoes.

I've got a few more things to do around the house, Rick has a few more yard chores on his list, but I think a ride in the S is in order. Maybe I'll see something worthy. Not much in bloom here, but you never know..........

OK, must do some first.

Got ambitious and replaced the after-market spoiler that was on my NSX when I bought it with the stock spoiler that the previous owner gave me. I have to say, I think it looks so much better with the stock. No pictures, so take my word for it. Maybe Patty would like to chime in here, since she saw the after-market one in Vegas. Just can't figure why it took me almost a year to make the swap...

Had a really nice time on the Marsh Walk yesterday. Jim's cruise in was at the end of the Marsh Walk, so we enjoyed both the cars and the walk. Jim's corvette reallllllly got a lot of attention and was admired by many. It was a beautiful day, glad I went. I did not park the S with the muscle cars. It gets no respect.
