NO KIDDING. When I win the lottery, I can just go to him for 1 stop shopping for 2 Corvette's and an L78 Camaro...

That is a tool most everyone on this site should have! I have one and use it constantly.

Every Thanksgiving and Christmas, Annie loves to cook a full blown multi course meal for the (2) of us. Hey, more power to her. Every time this happens, she tells me to go somewhere outside the house to entertain myself and stay out of her way. A few years ago I went bow hunting and got a very large buck. It ran deep into a swampy area and down a ravine. Needless to say, no one was available on thanksgiving to help so Annie put our 1:00 dinner on hold to come help me drag it out. Dinner was served at 7:00 that night (she's a tree hugger and likes to eat when the meal is done, NOT when it is overcooked so needless to say, I was WAY WAY down on her list).

Soooooooo, this year I decide to go to the shop, stay out of trouble and work on Fred Cini's LS6 convertible that just came out of the paint booth and Jamie Cooper's magical spray hands and set it on the chassis. We need to get this done as we are way behind schedule so I need to work whenever possible. Should be stunning when completed with it's red interior.
