HAL : I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do.

Dave Bowman : Open the pod bay doors please, HAL. Open the pod bay doors please, HAL.

It’s Tuesday. I’ve talked about my cousin here on my site before. He builds, restores, and fixes cars for a living. In his free time he likes to fish and often participates in bass tournaments. He was in a tournament down in Alabama over the weekend and won a new boat & trailer! I don’t know anything about boats, but he says it’s a Bass Cat with 150hp that’s worth $55,000. He going to keep it and plans to trade up the motor for a 200 hp V8. He has two other bass boats, but will now sell one of those. Pretty cool… and just in time for spring!

It’s Monday. I hope everyone had a good St. Patrick’s Day. In Chicago the tradition of dying the river green continued as it has since 1962. I’ve never gone into the city to witness it, but thousands do it every year. Afterward many check out the parade and, of course, hit the bars.

I spent St. Patrick’s Day over at my parent’s place enjoying some mighty fine corned beef and beer. I’m normally not big fan of corned beef, but when it’s done right, it’s damn good!

I also got caught up on several hours of Mecum recordings from their recent event in Glendale, Arizona. I love these things. It’s like one big parade of automotive goodness that goes on for hours and hours. And, when recorded, skipping the commercials is a breeze!

Oh well, back to the grind…
