Could be....

I can't believe DST starts this weekend. Have I ever mentioned that I hate DST?

Man I love DST. The more daylight the better! Especially in the summer because I can stay out on the water longer.

Ooo, thanks for that, I would have been an hour late watching a lacrosse game online tonight! (Go Devils!)

Not that it has anything to do with DST, but it made me ask Google "what time is it in Tempe?"

Got a new alternator in the Cavalier this afternoon so we'll drive it around a bit over the weekend and see if I get another warning light. Planning on taking it over to Baton Rouge next week for business but i don't want to unless I'm sure it is fixed and roadworthy!

The new TX gov says he is going to get a repeal of DST on the ballot. No way it won't pass.

Have a appt in the morning to get some PTM work done. I talked to the guy this afternoon and he knows what hes doing. But lets just say his facility isnt up to par for paint and body work. He swares the paint will be dead on and all that.. I just dont want alot of orange peel and the truck look like crap. 50/50 shot of it being a good job or a bad job. Want to get the bumpers done, mirror caps and the surround ptm, then the mesh behind the grill black and leave the C Clamp and two big bars chrome.

Same as this
