Default It's Monday- why are you happy

I'm happy because I got enough time yesterday to clean up the car really well. I stripped the old wax with dish soap, used Meguiar's paint cleaner, polish, then carnub wax (the 3-step system), and the car looks wonderful. I love Meguiars' system, and will take the $5 a bottle system over anything else I've seen.

My wife and I put an offer in on some land, and we're going to build a house in a year or so- 2nd one in 3-4 years, depending on when we break ground.

that's enough for me, what about you?

I'm happy because I just got a email from Florida, the transporter picked up my car yesterday morning. I'll likely get to take it for a ride today, AND the sun is shining!

'Cause I get my car back from the bodyshop this afternoon after getting some touch-up work done and then I'm all set for summer.

I'm glad my tiling jobs are just about finished in my basement! Pwhew! Just the bathroom floor... grout everything... And then let the carpet people worry about the rest! I put in the doors yesterday. The next time I'm going to pay to have all this done!

I'm happy because I don't have a reason to be unhappy.
Ok Ok Ok... maybe I'm happy because I've got today a salary rise of 5%. ;-)

I'm happy because my 4s is home under a blanky, ready to drive after I finished the 30k tune up this weekend, which included plugs, tranny fluid, slave flush, fuel filter, etc. I'm also happy because I saw a beautiful 964 turbo this weekend which I'll post a pic of....hope you don't mind.

I'm happy my new house construction has started. I've always wanted a 3 car heated garage and attached house. I will have room for my daily driver plus a workshop/project car. ETA is Sept 30th. I can't wait.

I have more but don't want to post too many on this thread, no hijack for me. There are some on the 993 board "OT: attended PCA event (with pics)", but here's one (okay...two) more of the Turbo.

I am happy because I finally got my Recaro Pole Position seats installed with seat belts this weekend. Everything looks great and is of professional caliber. I also was able to remove all remnants of the old hard-wired cell phone.

I'm happy b/c yesterday was my 26th b-day, which I couldn't have spent any better... I changed the 964's upper and lower spark plugs. That was the last of the 15k maintenance that I had to do. Valve adjustment isn't needed yet.
