* Bet many can identify with this: http://www.oldcarsstronghearts.com/2015/03/18/daily-dose-wake-up-wed-9/ With 4 open heart surgeries & 1 pacemaker replacement, I’ve a number of roadmaps. Some scars will be refreshed when I go in for another pacemaker replacement next Wednesday, 03/25/2015; unlike last time, hopefully this WILL be a simple outpatient procedure with no overnight hospital stay…! While watching NCAA’s March Madness on Thursday, I made some tweaks to my website & added a page for articles I’ve written: http://www.oldcarsstronghearts.com/my-articles/ Haven’t decided if I’m going to put all of my road trip pics there somehow or not.

As I noted, it reminded me a LITTLE of that..... Heh ... slapping names on cars is something GM got good at in the 1990s & 2000s..... Cort www.oldcarsstronghearts.com 1979 & 1989 Caprice Classics | pigValve, paceMaker, cowValve "I see clearly now" __ Nelly __ 'Over & Over'

* I road tripped at least once a year, 2002-2011, to meet people & see family-friends. September 2009, I journeyed along Route 66 (starting out at the Lincoln Highway National Headquarters, Franklin Grove IL), meeting a lot of people & seeing a lot of sights. I made the most of the 2-week timeframe I had. I snapped this photo at the Wigwam Motel in Holbrook AZ, 09/13/2009. http://www.oldcarsstronghearts.com/2015/03/17/tuesday-trip-9/ Cort www.oldcarsstronghearts.com 1979 & 1989 Caprice Classics | pigValve, paceMaker, cowValve "I can feel it in my bones" __ Kenny Rogers __ 'Good Friend'

* A chapter of my Route 66-based story posted Sunday. This, from Saturday, could be a scene from that story, with the caption something like: “Um, sir, you know the train don’t come through here anymore, right!?” http://www.oldcarsstronghearts.com/2015/03/14/car-tunes-saturday-8/ Speaking of Route 66, which would you rather drive along it: 1957 Chevy or 1967 Pontiac? http://www.oldcarsstronghearts.com/2015/03/12/thursday-survey-8/ Anyone like Andrew Llloyd Weber tunes? http://www.oldcarsstronghearts.com/2015/03/10/cd-showcase-memories-52/ If interested, go to the home page & sign up for Email notifications….

After riding in a 2015 Charger that Drew rented a few weeks ago, I finally saw another one "in the wild" on Saturday. Also saw a mid-1970s Cadillac out. A bit surprised, since salt is still on the roads 'round here....
