Good afternoon guys! It's only going up to 80 degrees today, relief!

The new international bridge project, linking Detroit and Windsor, has officially broken ground this morning! When finished (2022 or 2023) it will be the longest cable stayed bridge in North America and it'll be taller than Detroit's Renaissance Center.

Well Sunday I went to Omaha,NE to H&H Chevrolet and they had there annual all Chevy show. Some real nice rides there. But it was Hot,Hot,Hot. 3 shirt day hot.

A few Montes there but no 5th or 6th gens other than mine. Some real nice 57 chevy's for sure and some great Chevelles too.

So today is not to bad it is comfortable but not overly humid. A few days to work on the house and car Mrs. Bickerson is gone to a convention.

H&H, huh? Driver3, you should've let me know, that's just a few miles up the street from me!

But yeah, it was hot that day... and I had to go to work later that afternoon anyhow. Ah, well...

Yep! I thought about that too. +Then my Daughter was at the house last week with the Grandkids I had to entertain them.
Then I got a Root Canal which are always fun?
Then my computer was acting up I think the storms or the power outages we have had messed up the power switch in the thing and it goes off and is still on but doesn't function.
So when I got those distractions I forgot to make the contact. I thought about it again when I was cursing down L street.

Then I said it's the All Chevy show he would probably stop just as a spectator. PM me with your contact information and I will shoot you an email with my cell number so it will be easier to make contact.

Good morning guys.

Looks like we have a pretty good chance for off-and-on rain/t-storms Friday to Sunday. I have nothing really planned so it can unleash as much as it wants. We did get one pretty good storm shower pass over us a few nights ago but we still need the rain badly!

Nope, neither. I just pulled the photo from one of our news websites.

Good morning guys.

One week from tomorrow is my next car show - Car Capital Auto Show in Downtown Lansing on Sat, July 28.

The rain and t-storms are already moving in this morning and we need it badly! Potential for severe storms. Looks like it'll be off-and-on through tomorrow night.

Good morning everyone, the weather cleared out here and we sent it to Michigan where it's needed. Got my cooling fans and choke working properly, apparently the two 30 amp breaker's weren't enough for the stock fans and I somehow blew a 15 amp fuse on the choke. Took my sweetie out for ice cream last night for her first drive, she was depressed because she got into a accident with our 16 Silverado I managed to show a newer Charger the taillights , she actually enjoyed that and the other driver gave her when he caught back up. Ran into issue of issue of windshield fogging up due too no defroster but that's why I carry a towel. Going to a bacholer party tonight with furture in-law might get some pictures alongside my sister's 2000 pace car. Enjoy the weekend everyone.

Nice job! Glad you are getting to enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Hope everyone has a good weekend. I have a beach trip planned next week to North Topsail NC with the kids and they are calling for rain everyday. I think I could sell my vacations to wild land firefighters. Wherever the big fires are I will just go vacation there, the rains will follow.

It is good she was not hurt the pickup is repairable, for sure.
You need to get her an Old Buick 64 thru 70 or so and make sure it is Black put a #3 on the side and weld on some Iron to the sides. On the rear quarter put the decals I drive Offensively, everyone will clear a path. If she doesn't like it I can drive it.
Sometimes you just can't get away from the folks that are an accident waiting to happen. Yesterday I went to Kearney,NE to see the annual cruise night car show and shine. about 90 miles for me and all the crazy drivers were on I-80. So I got on the 2 lane and there was no traffic.
