*chuckles* Talk about adding insult to injury . trina, Curious ... what was your occupation that you plan to return to?

He he... Bears 26, Packers 0 First time that B Favre has been shut out in his career ... and first time in 200+ games that the Packers have not scored in a game.

In the summer, I always wash/wash/clean the interior of my cars. The only time others wash my cars are at the MC Nationals ... when people generally are helpful.... I also clean out my parents' Cavalier and (if time permits) my sister's S-10 as well as our neighbor's Lumina. In the winter, my daily driver (currently my '87 MC LS, tho I'm searching for something else) does see the inside of a car wash ... touchless only.

*chuckles* It IS a small world. My best friend's family used to live in Berea many years ago (mid to late 1970s or so, iirc). Also, the Judds (Naomi, Wynonna & Ashley) used to live in that general area.

Hmmm.... While I don't particularly care for the results, whoever did the work deserves _some_ credit. After all, that, I suspect, represents quite a few hours of hard work ... something I've not done much of on any of my MCs.....

Good ... glad to know she is doing well, even after that ordeal. But, you're right ... too often, we take life for granted ... and only find out "too late" how fragile it is.

Heh ... you're not the only one. I've only attended a couple car-related events this year ... neither of 'em in my home state. The first was the MC Nationals in TN; the second was the car show in PA that Oldsmoboi, a couple others, and I attended when I was in PA in August....

*chuckles* Yeah, I'd say so ... especially since you are in the auto industry..... Sure would be nice, I think.

Hot dang that is cool/awesome! Heh ... if I bought all of the model cars I wanted ... I'd be in the poor house .

*grins* So do I . Actually, she has quite a few hit songs I enjoy.... Head Carolina, Tails California Was That My Life? My Give A Damn's Busted You're Not In Kansas Anymore Burn ...among many others...!

When I was younger, I was an introvert. I had very few friends ... and didn't feel well liked, if even liked at all. Within the last few years, however, that has changed ... dramatically. I am now an extrovert. Yet, my current job (call center rep for an annuity contact center) is changing me back to an introvert. Most of the callers are unhappy about one thing or another (understandably, of course) ... and that grates on my nerves so much so that I have yet to go to a local cruise night this year. It doesn't help that I'm "tied to the desk" 24/7 while I'm at work. I get home and don't want to do anything; haven't even had the older 4 MCs out much this year. I cringe if my phone rings, no matter who it is. Over the weekends, it is a bit better, but I'm so drained (physically and emotionally) from the week that barely anything gets done. Yes, I am searching for a new job ... but even that search drains more energy (not to mention time) ... and its starting to really get to me. Heh ... I'm in my 30s and just don't seem to have found my niche yet ... something that "society" seems to "frown" upon.... Even more, sometimes, I don't feel I belong anywhere. A friend was telling me about his 22-year-old cousin who recently settled down and started a family; I'm almost 11 years older than him ... and haven't even had the opportunity (if you know what I mean) to have kids. Hmmm...that October road trip out west is looking very very very good right about now. Then again, I'd need to reverse the current trend of going back to being an introvert . Sooo...how about you? Has your career path changed you? Cort, "Mr MC" / "Mr Road Trip", 32swm/pig valve/pacemaker MC:family.IL.guide.future = http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort/ "Beginning to think that I'm wasting time" ...

It is called Bye Bye Bye, sung by Jo Dee Messina .

*nods* Yeah, thinking about it, so would I. And, frankly, that is a scary statistic .

*nods* Yep ... that is about Cadillac .

Thanks for your replies ... definitely appreciated. To see or talk to him, you wouldn't know he had been diagnosed with depression. I think that's part of the reason why he isn't seeking treatment...but, I'm not sure. Heh ... he talked more about different cool places (i.e. the thread I started a week ago or so about Rt 66 and Raceway Woods) than anything. We'll see what progresses.....

AMEN! And, HE, I noticed that signature a day or 2 ago ... sorry I didn't mention anything to you sooner, but I LOVE that pic of that '73 MC .
