No complaints though. We've loved the moving and all the experiences that go along with it, but since we've been here for 10 years, I guess I'm officially an Okie now!!

Do you work for the FAA now or retired from FAA??

It was very emotional then, and still brings emotions to the surface. My Dad and all my uncles served in WWII.

Those are some amazing stories! I have goose bumps thinking about it!
The trip to the Motherland went well. My family, as usual did a great job of playing host and hostesses. I don't know why we didn't get any pics of the show and shine?!?!?! There were all kinds of cars there, an old Willies, a Gremlin(yes Vince, there was a Gremlin), old chevs, fords and whatevers! We were the only 5th gens in the show. I think Lillooet is up to a count of 4 of them now

At my brother's for his "1 beer tour". He owns the Chally's. Just a little mix. The Stang belongs to my niece in law and "Larry" is a great guy and we had the pleasure of doing a little cruise with him to the Lake and back.

Local wildlife. The kind that don't drink beer. Papa Sheep must have been hiding, since he usually isn't far away.

I'm still a "Fed" at the FAA Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, here in OKC. Might retire in 2.5 years when I cross the big "66" and can draw full SS, but will have to see then if it's still fun to go to work in the morning. If it is, maybe I'll tack on a little more time...

RubyCamaro · 07-23-2012, 11:44 PM

Not me! I love my job but just as soon as I can this gal is going to retire so fast heads will spin! Good night everyone.

Ladybugsmom · 07-23-2012, 11:52 PM

Good night, Jan!

So.... I got a THIRD version of wheels photoshopped, and it sealed the deal for me... This is what I'll eventually end up doing (and I'm keeping the Brembos the stock color so they don't compete with the gorgeous rims

).

So excited!!! Thanks for the input, everyone - I haven't had such a hard time deciding on a mod before!!

hotrodsally · 07-24-2012, 12:08 AM

Jeanette, is the only difference between this one and the previous powdercoated version, the center cap or are there more differences?

Ladybugsmom · 07-24-2012, 12:14 AM

Center cap, bowtie, lugnuts (which will be handy to keep the same when I eventually use my current rims for winter tires)

My Dad was FAA. He retired in Colo. Springs. When I was a kid I used to spend every summer in Oklahoma City while he went to one technical school or another there.

FAA eh? Hey I've got this ATP friend who would like to get back to work...
Just kidding! So what do you do at the FAA?

By the way, I don't know if I told you this already, but I love your tagline now-&-then picture! That is very cool!
