Justin, not sure what it is, but he has a history of eating poop and getting sick after that. I watch him like a hawk when I take him out, but my parents don't so it could be that.

Mod Mike, the smell woke me up at 4 a.m. gross. lol

Eww. That's a heck of an alarm clock. Sorry to hear he's not feeling well. It sucks to be sick. Have you been giving him lots of water to replace his fluids? Sorry I can't offer much advice; I've never had a dog. I hope he gets well soon!

77gp, I hope the pain you've been having is nothing serious. Good luck today!

Well, it was a promising weekend for those of us who are praying for spring. Some of the classic car owners brought the classics out for a cruise around town. Saw two 55 chevies, a 56 chevy, a 69 challenger, a 50's Pontiac, and a late 60's Chrysler. Not to be shut out, there was a Jeff Gordon Monte out cruising around too representing the Montes. Not sure if the JG Monte is considered a classic just yet, but other than it and my Dale Jr edition, there weren't any Montes from the first 4 generations out this week end to represent the Montes. There are lots of 5th, 6th and 7th gen Montes out and about. But like my Monte, they're daily drivers.

We had some heavy rain that started shortly after dinner last night. And lasted to early this morning. Just glad it was rain and not snow. If it was snow, we probably would've had over a foot of snow this morning.

Today is supposed to be in the 60's. Going to enjoy it as much as possible. Tomorrow is supposed to go back into the 30's and snow. UGGHHH!!!

All of our 6th Gens could be considered a classic in 2017 because I believe the rule is that it has to be 20+ years old, or 10 years after the model line is discontinued.

Not to be confused with "outdated" like the junior edition. That happened in 2008.

Technically I think you're right about 10 years after the line is discontinued. But I don't think a lot of classic car shows (or enthusiasts) see it that way unfortunately.

A local classic car show that had cars dating back to 1908 (or somewhere around there), only allowed cars up to the 80's. There were a few cars from the 90's and 2000's. But they were "specialty" cars. Cars that were customized show cars. Like a customized Chevy SSR, and an autographed Rousch Mustang.

It's all about the insurance you put on the car, I know in 2017 I'm going to put my car under a classic car insurance and set the value and mileage and everything :P

Hello y'all! I'm finally settling in the "new" house and started working on the Monty. I still got boxes and tools all over but making progress. Pics coming soon.

Afternoon all, getting ready to head to the airport. I have a 3 hour lay over in San Francisco so I may be on line then. Will share so pictures of the sunshine for those up north that have not seen it in a long time. Stepdad is on Dog duty so hopefully there is no more sickness.
