And I hope to still be around when you do retire.

During one of the trips, my wife decided to 'adopt' a couple of pups my sister was fostering. So, on top of everything else, they've kept us pretty busy lol. Things are starting to settle down & back to 'normal'
Place and pups look great!

Ruby SERIOUSLY needs a bath. Sitting around under the carport for a month has her buried in dust. Rain /storms all week & into the weekend predicted so not sure when that will happen. I had fun with the sisters. I'm glad my daughter is on the road to recovery. I must say though it is good to be back home.
Glad things are getting better Jan.

Thanks!

Got my first Chevelle inquiry today. I never expect much from someone that tries to negotiate before even seeing the car. My reply was, " will consider a reasonable offer". His other questions were entirely addressed in my ad.

Had someone come out to see the Impala on Friday and haven't heard back from them since.

If you'd like to check out some 4th of July photos I shot from my balcony, follow the below link and click on the thumbnails.

Glad to see everyone is doing well. I have not been on vacation yet but I have been on line a little less just enjoying the summer. My vacation is planned for August and if things go well I will retire in 7 more years.

No vaca here though I have 3 weeks built up at work and have to burn it up soon. Retiring? Looking to punch my ticket just after turning 62, in 4 years. Would be a second retirement after having retired a long time ago after 20 years in the Corps.

I know how you feel, I can either go to Summit Racing when they have a Chevy meet ... which is like once a season ... in between the other car shows. And then there is trying to find a place to park that's not an hour's walk away ... OR ... I can drive ~2 hours from Akron to Columbus, where not only can you park in the middle of the action, the Coffee shop is only a few yards away, there are more than enough cars to make it interesting, yet it's small enough that you don't 'get lost' in the crowd and can meet some really cool people.

I think I'll take the 126.2 mile / ~2 hour drive and go to the smaller, slower-paced show where you can actually get to talk to the other car owners and they're not too stuck up to really talk to you.

Don't blame you, I like the smaller shows/gatherings better myself for the same reasons
