Good afternoon guys.
I had a super busy day this past Saturday - picked up groceries, got the area under our deck raised, leveled and ready for my wife's new hot tub she ordered (we have a walkout basement), cut the lawn and cleaned up leaves, installed a new exhaust system on my wife's F-150 and had a 4-hour bonfire. While working on my wife's truck I had some new/rusty metal pieces fall in my face a couple times and 24 hours after started feeling like maybe I got a piece stuck in my eye socket - tried to flush numerous times but ended up going to urgent care yesterday and I think I may have flushed it out at some point because they didn't see anything and saw no scratching on my eye itself. Still have a list of to-dos before the cold arrives including winterizing all of our 'toys' and continuing to clean up leaves. Hoping to still get some time in the Monte before I put it away - I'm right around 1,600 miles on it this year which is the most miles I've put on it in four years
Speaking of the Monte, my schedule worked out with my Wife and I was able to do one last car show this year back on Oct. 12 right before we went on our 2-year anniversary trip to Charleston, SC (which was great). I ended up taking 2nd in my class 'Original '90 & Over' which was totally unexpected
I haven't posted in forever. I actually have my Monte running pretty decent right now, then the battery died. I'm hoping I can get a few more nice days to drive it before I put it away for the winter.
Looks like I might have a coolant leak to track down.
EDIT - well I can't find the old picture.. but @ChibiBlackSheep once called my original red car 'UNO' because it had one exhaust tip.. this one will also have one exhaust tip. lol
Just looking for something cheap that I can bomb around in and commute to work and back in. My Jeep gets terrible mileage being lifted and oversized tire.

Good morning guys.
The Piston's home opener at LCA is tonight vs. Atlanta. Last night, Detroit had a strong showing in their first regular season game, beating the Pacers 119-110. Drummond and Kennard both had 30+ points for Detroit. I'm not really a huge b-ball fan now but I actually watched the 4th quarter and I believe they finished on a 16-4 run after being down by 4 halfway through the 4th. I believe this team now has a pretty solid core in place with Andre Drummond, Blake Griffin and Derrick Rose along with solid 3-pt shooter Luke Kennard.

It's been way too long since I last posted. I took on job as a traveling service guy for a major Robotic/Automated Packaging machine builder. Great job but have no free time now. Life on the road is a challenge. Hotels and airports get old, then a few days back home at our facility and I'm ready to get back on the road. Kind of weird huh?!
I'm still driving the Silver SS. I love the car! I hope to get back on here more often and catch up on some of the post.
I find myself traveling a lot in the Detroit area, thought I might have time to reach out to some of you Michigan fellers but my day is wind up being 12+ hours so all I want to do is get back to the room and crash LOL!
