Rich Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Oh man, Chris! That sucks!! But I'm glad it's not here (but we've had that too other years). We were at the beach the last 4 days, so today I had to get all the sand, dirt, grime, and pollen off the black ride. What a PITA. Tonight, tornado warnings, hail, and strong thunderstorms blowing through so I imagine my day tomorrow will be picking up a mess before heading to Latrobe to watch the F16's practice for the air show this weekend.

Black Bowtie Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Last two days were nice and sunny, now rain every day for the next week. Rivers and creeks will be coming out of there banks again for the second time this spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been colder (30's) all week but rain has gotten rid of a lot if it. Now everything is just wet. But nothing like what other areas are going through with storms, tornadoes, rain, etc, so I can't complain too much. Stay safe, friends! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 To me, that's a clown car. Reminds me of a baby carriage. Now if you take that ridiculous wing off.......... Went to a car cruise yesterday. Nice community event and all the free burgers, dogs, chips, and drinks you wanted. Cut grass today, cleaned the bugs off the Vette, and now it's hockey time. Rain tomorrow, so we'll just be hanging out at home. Hope you all had a good weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falcaineer Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 After getting my tires rotated and balanced and then seeing my car pull up, added this note to my account. Immediately. Spare time for a thorough tire cleaning can't come soon enough. 😡😡😡 RayS and mc2hill 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Slow Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I WAS going to start the SS Adam’s Paint Coating process today but got called in to the office 8 AM to noon. After I got home I did dishes and changed the internals on the daughters toilet. Rained the whole time so humidity is very high. Then I just checked out the forecast for this coming week ( my vacation week.) Are you ******* kidding me?!? Yes I can wash the SS in the garage but I was hoping for some pleasant late spring weather to make the process a tad more comfortable and enjoyable.

Rich Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 We actually got three , THREE!!!!, whole days without rain here!!! Yesterday, the wife and I made the trip to Carlisle Pa for the Chevy Nationals (GM) show. Gorgeous drive with the sun just coming up over the mountains and through some of the prettiest Amish farm country you'll find on earth. Nice show, not 1/4 as large as Vettes or Chrysler, but had some nice displays. Linda Vaughn, Miss Hurst, was there signing autographs along with about a dozen Hurst cars from the 60's and a new Hurst Camaro. Then they had a group from Ohio do a Bandit jump with an old Trans Am painted up to look like the bandit car, and he flew off a ramp, went 35 feet in the air, and came down onto the road nose first (he was supposed to land on the tires). Not much left of that car, but the driver was okay. A bit boring though. Came home with a nice 2nd place in my class. Wouldn't have cared if I didn't win anything though. Used to, don't any more. Then a nice 2 1/2 hour drive home. Today was a local diner cruise in with well over 200 cars. Nice place, they give out free t-shirts every month at their cruises, door prizes, and a poker run (I had a 7, Q, K, 10, and a 2) . Didn't win anything, but a lot of great cars, and even better people. Been a busy weekend, and now I have two cars that are going to need detailed again this week.

Captain Slow Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 While fishing the local pond I was also watching the clouds boil higher and higher. Was that thunder??? I called it an early night, went home and parked in the garage. Got the wife’s Beast in there too just in time. That blue dot is my house, the pink is quarter sized hail. Storm movement was due west. We got 60 mph winds, quarter sized hail and 1.3” of rain in under 20 minutes. 33294016-B4D8-4DD2-8AF2-368D64599D5D.MOV mc2hill, RayS and falcaineer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Slow Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 In honor of our neighbors to the north I put up the Maple 🍁 Leaf for the day then started the day off with a Tim Hortons K-cup out on the deck (in my Adam’s Polishes coffee cup.) Happy Canada Day. mc2hill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcaineer Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Wasn't today, but recently, used DS to clean up my boss' boss' boss' new monitors (swapped out an old one for two "new" spares we had on hand to satisfy the requirement same day). I smiled the whole time! Yo-Yo Ma's Cousin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 My nice clean Equinox got dirty on the way home from a funeral in Baltimore on Saturday, and Sunday was a day with the Vette, so today I used the Waterless Wash and did the whole Nox. Looks brand spankin new now. And after I gave the Nox some love, I wiped all the bugs off the Vette. Tomorrow I rest!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Slow Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 My lovely wife and I picked yet more raspberries from the bushes next to the deck... and yes, they’re delicious! mc2hill, falcaineer, Rich and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayS Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I cleaned the windshield and came up with a plan of attack to clean up the brother-in-laws bug riddled ride. This will be a Friday project before they depart to head back to Wisconsin. Captain Slow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Slow Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Thursday night we had a downburst that took out my back yard flag pole, the neighbors fence and numerous branches in our end of the subdivision. Today I picked up a made in the USA flag and pole set to replace the damaged one. Before I assembled and mounted it I treated the pole, plastic flag retaining rings, plastic screws and eagle to a generous coating of Adam’s Quick Sealant. Please note the flag is illuminated by a solar powered light. mc2hill and RayS 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcaineer Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 The other night I installed LED lights over the license plate to match all the other LEDs on the back. I think it turned out well, and the look a lot more finished and clean. Before After Captain Slow, Yo-Yo Ma's Cousin, RayS and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8675309'SS Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Hey Fellas! Been a while. I tried to find my old thread “this one goes out to the forum” but was unsuccessful. I got another award earlier this month at Camaro Super Fest. Got to Check out MIS too. The following weekend I scored a 96 out of 100 at Camaro Fest’s Show n shine. No award there though. Competition was crazy fierce. There were some amazing cars present. What have I missed in the Adams world? Who’s got a summary?

Nickfire20 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Since it was something like 115° today, I decided to take care of my parents car. They have a Nissan Murano, pearl white (sorry no pics). They come out from Baltimore every month to visit and see their granddaughter. They arrived early today, it was nap time, so I wanted to get outside and knock their car out. Rinse Iron remover New APC on wheels, tires, wells Mega Foam (the Juciy Fruit scent is on point) Car Shampoo in bucket Rinse Re foamed Clay Mitt Rinse GnG Ceramic Boost an hour later on everything except windows Tire Shine Undercarriage Spray Detail Spray on windows in and out Then we went out for dinner And then they drove an hour home in a severe storm,as I sat and sobbed😢 🤦♂️🤷♂️😂 The storms popped up and for the better with this heat, but they were not predicted today.

Rich Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Too hot to do much this weekend, but went to a cruise in at a nursing home yesterday. Not as big as they were hoping for, but the resident's seemed to enjoy seeing all the cars, and talking with everyone who came. Plus we got to have lunch with the residents. Some of these people don't have any family or anyone to visit with them, and they seemed to really enjoy having someone to talk with. Today was our church parish festival and cruise in. Always a good show. About 300 cars, plus the festival and great food. All I can say is I'm glad we had our pop up canopy with us because it was over 90* and then it rained for about 5 minutes which drove the humidity up. Miserable, but they have free beer!! So all I did was sit, and eat, and put away about 12 glasses of beer. I only live a block away, and probably sweat out any alcohol long before I drove home. All in all, a good weekend. mc2hill, RayS, falcaineer and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bscott94 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I got the wash and HGG this beauty last night. A little ear candy for you too. @RayS, I know why you love red so much now! sstg-69D418B4-3E4D-45EC-AC6A-092D7EF78B74.mp4 Captain Slow, Nickfire20, falcaineer and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
