The dream of driving the GT to Kenosha dying a slow death...

[Gremlingts@xxxx]

 Well, it's the weekend, almost, and nothing accomplished. DMV wasn't much 
help today, either, I tried to re-register the car to drive it to emissions 
testing, but I only get one extension, used up last year ; now I need a " 
trip ticket" good for a few days, and ONLY to the exact shop. I didn't have 
the address, and sometimes their machine isn't working, so what then? Darn 
them! Guess I'll try to use the shop only 3 blocks from my house, and just 
drop it off on Monday morning, if I even GET that far with it ( progress, not 
the car!). My job asked me to work on Saturday, and I"m supposed to go to see 
my parents one day this weekend, so I may just have to blow off driving the 
GT and just take the gold 74. Ah well, my fault for procrastinating so long! 
I'll try to fit in some time either tomorrow evening, or Sunday, or both. 
Just not sure what I can do in such a short time now. I bought a new battery 
for it last night, was hoping the rain would hold off, but no deal. It's 
light now,maybe won't amount to too much, and I can still get some stuff done 
on the car tonight. If not, oh well. 
On the up side, I got my new trial contacts tonight, I'd given up on 
wearing them years ago, got to be too much trouble, but thought I'd try the 
newer ones now, as I needed my head ( er, eyes) examined anyway. Maybe I can 
see clearer now to work harder on the Gremlin GT! LOL. Well, hope everyone 
else has a good weekend. I'll be trying to desperately scramble to find time 
and effort to still try to get the GT roadworthy. Maybe I'll take an extra 
day to work on it on Tuesday, and leave a day later. Maybe. Well, all for 
now, I'll "see" ya later,
