Rick the impala looks good, when you say it looks bad in the sunlight is it marks in the paint that is seen or just the age showing . I like it and hope that your feeling better . remember working on our cars is good therapy .

Thanks! Yes, the single stage paint job is showing it's age. There appears to be car wash scratches that won't budge, and some fading I can't remove.

Was parked on the street in front of the movie theater. They were open for business so the marquee was lit up. Got a neat shot of the cars with the marquee. But I only had three cars in stead of four like the marquee says.

Very cool!

Thanks! And I do feel better. The infection is almost gone. Mets and car therapy help.

Love that pic in front of the theater ragzl1!

I had a good time last night. I danced and danced & danced so I was definitely in my element. Mike took a lot of pics & a few videos that I will work on loading today but I also need to wash both Ruby & Pepper. I'll go ahead & post this for now but will come back & post up a few pics & maybe a video too. Have a a good day all.

You look very nice Jan.



Gotta work on that Normagene. .

Hahaha, no way he'll ever change. He calls it his Master Plan! He's perfected it. He thinks he's gotten all the PITAs off his back, finally.

Not everyone enjoys being around lots of people. He's happiest working on whatever project by himself, well he does enjoy the company of our dogs, but people, no thanks.

Christmas parties, family stuff, he believes that every women should have their "gay friend". A handsome gay man who loves to be around people, dance every dance, and is always the life of the party!

So he tells me take your friend, that way you'll have fun. My hubby would be look'n at his watch every minute, "we ready to go" and that's after five minutes.

No it's way way better this way. He can watch Boxing or whatever in his underwear, eat whatever junk he wants, especially when I'm not around, and he's more or less in heaven.

And he knows I'm in good/safe hands. No funny business or worries.

I stand corrected on the 67 / 68 Impala.

Jan -- Looked like a great time at your reunion. What is the building that you had your dance at ?? The large glass front/garage doors have me wondering??

It is called the Wilma Rudolph Event center. The large doors open to overlook an amphitheater & lake beyond that. The river & marina are to the back & side of it. Great place.

This was our weekend chore , now to stack it in woodshed . 2yrs worth of wood . glad we have a log splitter that runs off the tractor .

Glad you had a good time. I've never been to any of mine, takes guts to do it.

I meant you have to work on the picture posting issue. But yeah, his way of thinking is definitely a guy thing!

I feel warm and toasty looking at all of that firewood.

Impala is as done as I can make it. I'll post a photo up later. Did a strip wash on the Camaro tonight. Since it will be rainy here the next two days, I'll do a paint correction on it while staying dry in the garage. The top was filthy, and the paint really needs to be clayed.

I'm on vacation this week, so I'm going to knock out a few projects this week. Friday we are going to Sedona for the weekend to celebrate our anniversary.

[RubyCamaro]

I finally got the videos from the reunion loaded last night before I went to bed. I'll post one up here tonight. Today I will head to the new school, Crestview, it is called. I hope they get me an office set up soon. it is really a PITA carrying around everything I need. Mike & I will start taking my stuff over to the portable I will share (with a girl from another counseling program) as my office at Westside Elem. HAGD everyone.

Great pics Jan.....I understand the dancing thing, have been doing ballroom-Latin-C&W-Tango for almost 20 years

My weekend was a bit more stressful....three days of teaching and training martial arts. I am bruised, blistered, sore, and worn out. But, it was great training.

[Normagene]

Hubby is off with the boys, 8 or 9 days of his kinda fun. He's attending a DEA training exercise. Said the kids (mid 20s-early 30s) will try to beat him down, so he's look'n forward to the adventure.

Standard operating field tests. Everything from conducting raids in remote areas, urban, and out at sea. Plus all the toys imaginable at the gun range!

Hope the Ol Fart doesn't over do it.

Had a busy week and weekend.

Finally got the stove fixed on Thursday. Was supposed to be earlier in the week, but couldn't get away from the office until Thursday. Service tech who came out was very competent and professional... found that wiring harness in the stove had come loose and needed to be re-seated. That kinda irritated me... pay $850 for a loaded convection oven and follow that up 14 months later with a $75 service call to deal with poor build quality. The really annoying thing was that if I had taken the time to open the back panel of the stove myself, I could have dealt with it and saved myself the service charge. Oh well...

On Friday, the boy was sick and had to stay home from daycare. Honestly, not a bad day, but not a productive one, either.

The highlight of the weekend was taking the family on a road trip in the Camaro. This was the first long-distance trip (about 450 miles round trip) for me and the Camaro. It did very well. Averaged about 29 MPG at 71 MPH. That was actually a little lower than I was hoping for, but considering the car was loaded with two adults, two kids, all of the stuff needed for an overnight trip, and had the AC running most of the time, I'm still pleased. We stayed overnight with some friends, so I got to show off my wheels, and also check out our friend's new Audi A6. That is a damned nice car!

Got back to the house yesterday in time to catch the second half of the Browns game and watch some football last night, and back to the office today. Pretty good weekend, and one of the more relaxing ones in recent memory.

Love those kind of car shows. Where was the car show at in Illinois? I love some of those towns we went through on Hot Rod Power Tour.

Love to dance too. Go at minimum once a week!

[RubyCamaro]

That is a lot of hard work 70rsz28!

Enjoy your time off Rick.

okbfd - cool that you did the dancing thing & do martial arts!

Normagene - hope the hubby enjoys his time away & does not over do it.

clashley1976, sounds like a nice trip.

I try to make it to dance class 3 times a week but don't always make it lately with this job transition. I had a busy day. I only got 3 kids seen because I had to move from place to place & am still figuring out how to find the kids. I was at the new Crestview Elem today. That place is so huge! I will start moving my stuff to the portable this week. I have to have it out by middle of next week. I need to turn in earlier tonight. I have got to get used to getting up earlier.
