We we're 3 blocks away from the shooting at a different synagogue. We're safe, still on lockdown at the moment.

Supposed to get a bunch of wetness in the Northeast tomm; be prepared!

I'm back home now. I think 19 is the number of people shot, but only 8 or 9 dead.

Ford Truck know-how?? - - - - - Man, would I love a rig like this; Cat Safari with Grand Prix front clip ~

Interesting, looks constipated!

A bunch of randomness this evening. Went to a concert downtown, had front row, center seats. Great show. Classic cosmic prog rock from John Lodge. On the way to the show, while slowly going down a busy two-lane street dead-ending into the club parking, the police pulled over the SUV behind me...which was a black Jeep that appeared identical to mine. Odd. On the way home, my Jeep hit the 40,000 mile mark. Not bad for a '14. Watched a freighter go down the river out into Lake Erie from the club, tried to take pics, but through the glass my phone made a blurry pic. Outside I took a few pics of the city at night. Mellow evening.

On the freeway today, a last rendition ('18 or '19) Dodge Charger base model was in the lane to my left. It was in purist form - white exterior, black interior, alloy wheels, no spoiler (needed), V6, and spotless. Never would I have thought I'd like a Chrysler product. Having been put in the driver's seat of a Charger a couple of times by rental agencies, I know that this is a car that I like a lot and one that is super comfortable at that. I'd choose one identical to the one I saw.

Elon Musk just did a double middle finger and Stone Cold Stunner to the naysayers.

The people I feel most for are the people of Squirrel Hills, Pittsburgh-People will remember this violent act and feel it for decades. So tremendously sad right now. Off to gorge myself on Vintage Pontiac. Ohhh...and Balthazar....I am in Lexington taking a locksmith class this week. Gentleman in my class has a 58 Buick Special and a 66 Cadillac. Drew-Same gentleman also had a 71 Eldorado.

Actually not that it makes a difference, but the shooter was actually quite critical of Trump in his social media thread. I disagree with Trump on many things, agree on a few things, and generally don't like any of the presidents Truman to Trump (post WW II) any more than I like the Ford Motor Company, the Penn State Nittany lions football team, or Brussels sprouts. Actually I don't like Eggplant either...dammit.... Let's keep C and G free from political talk. This really is horrific. I am retreating to a world of woodworking, historical reading, and nature. Life is kind of over whelming this year. Loosing my father, finding my birth mother and two more sisters, turbulence at my wife's job, the lack of interesting new product in the automotive arena, and lots of things I don't want to talk about. I really need to gorge myself on vintage Pontiac pictures and videos, good music, and good food. Think tomorrow night I am going to try a new restaurant that has fantastic catfish. Catfish and Pontiacs....yeah...that is the answer. I also am getting close to ready to tear down my Oliver woodworking lathe so I can start the restoration, maybe within the next few months. Thinking of buying JET 16-40 midsized lathe in addition to the Oliver so i can have friends over to turn, also would like a little larger lathe.

Glad to hear your both safe at home. Hope you both can have a relaxing rest of the weekend. Take care!

Same thing for people who aren't as affluent.

You went to New York to look at tiny houses/backyard sheds? Nice ol Caddy.

...'cept I'm only on a computer (vs. a tablet/phone).

The XT4 is a little vehicle inside.... cozy is the best word for it. It is not a family truckster.

5' 8", THANK YOU VERY MUCH! But I'm always concerned my taller friends and family have 17 spare inches of rear leg and hear room.

Yes... aren't you like 5'5"? could probably lay you sideways.... but maybe that's the point? ?

The 19 figure was on a Tegna News outlet, but now I see depending on where you go visit it is either 6 or 8. Better than 19, but wish it was none. Have not seen a picture or heard anything about who the shooter was, but my gut says it is another crazy potus 45 white guy. Hit latest tweets of unity and love makes me sick as he continue to praise politicians who have attacked others. We are in crazy times and I really hope things change for the better soon. Wishing everyone a safe weekend. @Drew Dowdell Please keep us updated on your mates and your safety. Safe trip home eventually.

That is cheap over a 7yr loan. About $36 a month to the payment.
