I missed being on here, I just wish it was more active so I could post on more.. Seems like things have died down a bit unfortunately. I think I'm going to push the forum a bit more on the facebook page as I fear this page is slowly coming to an end with the low traffic.

Afternoon guys.

We are smack dab under some steady, heavy rain right now and under a flood advisory as we're looking at 1-3 inches of rain today. The previous 6 or so days were completely rain free and sunny which was nice for a change.

Woodward Dream Cruise is coming up this Saturday and I'll be there with a group of 1st gen Monte Carlo guys from FGMCC. I've also done three car shows in the past two weekends so the Monte has been out and about. I'll post my pictures from all these shows after Woodward.

Awesome!

I'm jealous, I haven't been able to clean my monte or even drive my Trans Am due to there being gravel put down on the road that I have to take to get to my house. It's been a long summer in that regard.

I saw that a few hours ago. He's had an on-again, off-again substance abuse problem for much of his life. Including drugs and alcohol. He also had heart problems. I don't know what was going through his mind this morning. What was he thinking about that put him in a desperate mind set? It's really sad that he decided the only way to deal with the condition he was in this morning was to take his own life.

Most of us think that because the rich and famous have lots of money, they can afford the best care, the best help, etc. We often think that their money will help them get out of the worst situations. That they can always buy their way out of an addiction problem, with expensive rehab clinics, etc. We now know that money alone doesn't always solve your problems. If it did, rich people wouldn't die.

Addiction and depression problems have taken far too many people we love and admire. Robin Williams is the latest victim. A man who fell victim to the personal demons in his head.
