..Hi `Todd,
It difficult to watch the news of our World and hear about all the problems that are facing so many. Today on ABC News they stated that 1 in 6 Americans don't have enough food...
That should not be in our country..., when we are sending so much to other countries ...I still believe that one should take care of their family first, before they can give to others...I don't mean to sound selfish, but I wouldn't want my family to starve.


My grandfather taught me that when I am having problems in life to do everything within my abilities to solve the problem(s)...Once I've done everything in my powers/abilities to solve the problem then I just let it go (cause there's nothing more I can do).
I then enjoy my present life and keep doing my best. I won't let my problems drag me down, but keep working on them everyday until I have resolved them....It's not easy, but I've learned that nothing good is ever E.Z. At least for me it's not..

I don't know if my words/lessons will help anyone, but I share cause I care, and it's the way that my grandfather taught me.
I hope it helps someone, then it's been worth my time, my life to share....

And now, on2 Happy Times.....Push your Happy key, and for your problems, hit the Delete the problem key
(Oh, there in your Mind : ) the keys that is
Wish everyone a safe/fun/happy eve....
Until 2morrow...I depart in Peace : )

Space, I would love to sit down and have lunch with you and your grandpa. He sounds so much like my grandpa it is crazy. Maximise the time you have with him, because once he is gone all you have are the memories. I would urge you and anyone else to talk to your elders and learn from them. I spent more time with my grandpa then anyone else in my family, but when he died I realized there were still things I needed to ask him and lessons I needed to learn.

Afternoon Everyone/

Just got back from Target and i found this.



Its a Green 70 Monte. WOOHOO!!!!!! It was in the bargain section and it was the ONLY ONE THERE. I have no idea if its a new one or just a left over that never sold. Its going next to my 86 that i got earlier this year.

Todd, there never is enough time. I know cause i lost my Father at such and early time in my life. Thats why i like to spend time with Jonny cause i know he has questions that need answering and i dont want to miss out on the him. Live life to the fullest.

And Space.......I have a wife and a teenager, remind me again.....whats sleep?

^ looks like well all be seeing a drunken post or two.lol

I went to practice, they DIDN't take a video of me doing some freestyle spinning. Im going to see if someone I know will record me and I post it on youtube and get back to you on that.

Im going to go wash the monte tonight and go for a photo op. WARNING! PICS OF A SHINY, RED MONTE CARLO WILL BE POSTED ON THE FORUM IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS

Also, it would be nice if I could find a NON- nascar type scale model of a 5th gen. I just can't find them anywhere.

Justin, be safe dude, and have a good time! JJ, that is a cool looking die-cast Monte you found again

me on the other hand just spent a little loot at tirerack for winter only tires and hopefully by spring I can get me a new set of wheels and tires for the spring,summer period Sunday into Monday we are supposed to get some pretty shaky winter weather but I won't have the tires until Tuesday/Wednesday, so hopefully I can get by with what I have

Dustin, looked through 10 pages of ebay and no red 5th gen montes that were not race cars. Good luck on your search.

Justin, Have fun and I look forward to drunk posting later.

Chris, congrats on the new tires. Hope they get there in time.
