Headed to GMT360 capital Hudson Wi and south to a buddy's farm. Going to go play with an '82 K5 Blazer while acting half my age. Holy smokes, did I actually just say that?

Rear windshield delete? You mean the handle delete or what? I'm not familiar with that.

Taking out the front lawn... 
Missed the driveway by a bit, usually not a big deal, but we've had a ton of rain, so the ground is spongy.

There were a couple of cars parked across the street, right at the end of the driveway, so I couldn't take my usual angle. Put the nose between the 2 cars, made sure I cleared the mailbox and came back. I knew I didn't hit the driveway like usual, but didn't realize how far off I was until I got halfway up driveway and I saw the bowling lane gutter along the driveway. :banghead:
It'll grow back right?

Gonna change out the water pump. Noticed a few days ago that it was low on antifreeze in the TB. Put some in and noticed yesterday that the overflow tank was empty again. I can see a line of liquid Comming from where the pump is on the block. It does have in and out play so its time to replace it.

Laughing at myself...
It was raining pretty good this morning, so as I got out of my truck at work, I opened my umbrella which promptly got blown open by the wind. As a result, I dropped my phone, on one of it's corners, into a puddle.
Snatched it up quick, and dried it off. Everything seemed to be OK.
Settle in at my desk, text people, do some work, when I notice my phone is sitting there unlocked.
Reach over and turn off the screen, back to work. Look back some time later, screen is on again, unlocked, at the home screen. Uh oh. Pick the phone up, and get ready to restart it, hoping it's an easy fix. Can feel the battery randomly vibrating as if I'm tapping/making selections on the screen. Go ahead and reboot, but it keeps doing it.
Plug my phone into my laptop to back everything up, figuring I'll do a factory reset as either a potential fix, or at least to cover up the fact that I rooted it before taking it back to the store. Took 30 minutes to run the backup, but the entire time, the screen stayed off. Maybe that fixed it? Nope, started using a couple of apps, and could feel the battery randomly buzzing out of sync with my screen taps. Figured I'd shut it down and pull the battery, before doing the factory wipe. Take my case apart (Otterbox Defender) and come across the problem...
The S-Pen had popped loose from the phone just enough to be on the edge of where it wakes the phone up, but not far enough that you'd notice it due to the case. 
:banghead: Damn, is it Friday yet?

You don't know how close I was to wiping this thing...
If I would have found the S Pen mixup AFTER the wipe, I woulda had to go find something to cram some LEDs in to feel better.

Well, I was bored today, and I've been wanting to work on my DD 2001 Grand Prix GT... I'm well aware of the common sagging issues of worn out springs on the rear end on the GP platform... My brothers GTP had this very issue... I on the other hand, have been very lucky and haven't had to deal with that issue... a few months ago, my drivers side rear strut coil spring broke in half, leaving me stranded at work. So I went to Napa and got the Monroe complete strut assembly and today I did the passenger side rear one... I get paid next week, so I will change out the fronts as well to complete the suspension update... but over all, I cant stress enough how great this car is... 135,xxx miles and only one strut broke.. basic tie rods and ball joints were replaced through the years, but no other really major suspension repairs needed... these cars are tanks when taken care of!!
pix!!!
and no sagging... looking sharp and not too shabby for a 13 year old car...
