Just catching up on the Pot.  York Steak House - home of the "delicious sauted sirloin tips".  Brings back some memories.

I stopped by Spikes Rail Head in Lowell, In on my way north last Friday.  Lucked out, as he was open.  Wandered around the shop for a bit, but nothing whispered 'buy me'.

Mornin' guys and gals. Pretty outside. Still in a holding pattern...

88 - Happy Anniversary to the Q and you. I hate driving home from FL. Fifepup is relocating to SC (again), so 8 hours is more do-able.

By the way, the little guy on my lap, reading about Fife's layout in CTT, turned 16 last Saturday. Time flys while having fun.

Good afternoon

Nice weekend we had, left work Saturday headed to Lansdale, PA for the All Mopar show.  It was hot, but we caught up with a few friends and it was great.  We had the pop up tent and it was in good use.  I was surprised at winning a Top 10 for the road runner.  Shopping and TGIF after we got home.

Rained all morning and partly into the afternoon yesterday, I spend most of the day with my Princess.  I ran off to change into my Class A uniform to present the validictorian of the latest Firefighter I class her check for $100.  Chik-Fil-A after with my wife.

Thanks, Ellie!!

Kev - great that you are getting around more.

Fife - Prayers to you and your friend Mac Broken Heart

Smokey - Happy Birthday to the Mrs.!!

LionRoar- Happy Anniversary!!  Every vacation has it's memories, lol...Congas to the little Princess!!

Just starting to discuss our next trip in July to the All Chrysler Nationals in Carlisle, PA.  Looks like we're taking the Hemi Magnum.  It needs tires and a few other things, nothing insurmountable for our trip in 3 weeks.

Weather is cool and dry right now, so all the windows are open.

Back soonest

Mornin' guys and gals. Sunny and 67 along the Patterson Creek cut-off. Dealing with the loss of Mac, who quietly slipped away yesterday. He mattered to many, and I was blessed to be among his closest friends.

Very sad to hear about Mac, fife. Words can only do so much... I'm sorry for your loss, try to be easy on yourself and those who knew him well.

I'm back home again from vacation, the cats missed my family quite a bit and were very happy to see us again. I already miss how pleasant it was staying by the beach, back at home the humidity is much more oppressive. There's a lot of tidying up I need to get to, and I need to get back in touch with folks I was out of contact with during my vacation trip.

Take care all, and stay safe.

Sorry to hear of Mac's passing. Prayers for you and his family Fife.

Been a crazy week again (nothing like last Wednesday/Thursday, but it is darn close). Can't wait for Sunday (I may get some sleep Saturday night). Will try to post this weekend. Smile
