Congrats on the excellent milestone, Rick!

We took our garage queen out for a spin, and ended up in the Angeles National Forest. CA highway 2. 50+ miles of twisties, with thousands of feet of elevation change. Total outing mileage almost 250 miles. Not too shabby.

Morning Tweze, and the rest.

It is Friday! Yea.

I got home yesterday the the magic AC elves had replaced the AC unit. Unfortunately they left me a large bill.

I had a molar start hurting out of the blue on Tuesday. The pain kept getting worse so I cried uncle yesterday. A root canal fixed that. Dang that feels better for my mouth but OUCH for the checkbook.

Mine was just the same price.

It was not my first choice to spend a grand on that, but I still have the tooth to chew with, and the pain is gone.

Glad you guys had your teeth fixed. That pain plain sucks.

I was driving in a residential neighborhood the other day and lookd down at the odometer and noticed I was coming up on this:



No real significance. This is the 4th time that has come up. There is an invisible 3 to the left. I have owned my El Camino for 22 years now.

Not with me in it!

The original speedometer was one of the stupid DOT mandated 85 MPH max with a GIANT orange 55 on it. I hated it so much I sent it out and had it rebuilt to look like this.

Well, not without being on a closed road course and with the proper safety equipment.
