So inspirational Space..
If your senior bums are fading, I think you gave them a great gift to brighten it up(flashlight).. Seriously its great to spend time with the elderly. I think they really enjoy it. I will go to Bingo with my aunt occasionally, she is like 81 and her sight is fading. Hard for her since she has been a bingo player for as long as I remember.
What was your drink of choice last night. I have a frozen dacqueri in the freezer I keep forgetting about. Might lounge by the pool and have it today since I dont work tomorrow. I can't get in the pool but can dip my feet in.

* Hi `Jerry, it's great to read that you are doing better & making the best of your recovery...My drink was rum & coke with a lime (?) & I was buzzed after one drink, but had a few more...(I'm not a drinker 4-Sure) or I'm a cheap drunk (LOL)

It's very sad that everyone has moved away from our Ocean Beach Village because of aging seniors & the cost to live by the ocean. (Insurance, taxes, maintenance, etc.) is sky `high. My grandfather has a condo at the senior center + his other property investment properties. I'm thankful & happy that my grandfather is doing so much better since his stroke. I hope to see him later today, after I have a meeting shortly with my boss/owner.

`Jerry, wish you a speedy recovery & a healthy/happy life!
================================
* Hi Mel, sorry about Mother Nature not providing you Sunshine, but I'm sure that you will enjoy your future sunny car shows. Good things are worth waiting for, but I'm sorry that so many lost the chance to admire your awesome S.S.
-------------------------------------------
Hi `Tadd, I've been catching `up on reading posts & it's great to see your awards 4-Sure...Congrat's

Hi Mod `David, hope your dog doesn't freak `out & that you don't overdue it today doing your home chores...Sunday is a day of rest > isn't it ? (LOL)...Wish you Sunshine & a happy day.

Good to see you getting some quality time with family and friends, 'Space. Your visit was no doubt welcome and a comfort for your elderly friends.

Veteran's Day & Memorial Day are excellent times to visit your local VA Hospital. It gives you the opportunity to shake the hands of and thank a few strangers for their efforts. Sometimes them just knowing that someone appreciates them is enough to put a smile on their face.

good afternoon everyone! The temperatures finally cooled down now that there are clouds in the sky. What a relief! I can finally enjoy my drive without the a/c cranking.(i'm a windows down type of person..)

So, i took a awesome pic of my monte with the mini-monte. I'm surprised how dead on this model car is to the real thing

Thanks `Mike, I agree 100% 4-Sure....Thanks for your words/posts & sharing your insight + thanks for your words on visiting with seniors & veterans. The bum's & I were raised & taught by our senior citizen village & they did not only teach us by words, they lived by them & set a good example. I love talking to elders & hearing about their life, their trials & tribulations...They shared the wisdom they have gained during their journeys of life. I've learn so much from them & it has helped me so much on my journey of life...I am so thankful they freely shared their wisdom with `love!

I think it's best not to let negative/toxic people rent space in my head > I just raise the rent & kick them `Out >

Good afternoon Busy weekend for me here. Fri all day I helped my daughter & Son in law move some stuff from one home to the other . Getting way too old to do that stuff any more. Thank God they hired movers to do the heavy stuff . We just took the little stuff and anything that would fit in the 2 SUV's. Got home around 6 ish. My wife had dinner waiting for everyone . Then we headed home for a shower & to cool off. Saturday my wife said to take some time & relax. I'll go help them for a while today. Soooo I took off to the Car CRAFT NAT'LS at the St Paul fair grounds. Met up with my old club members and walked around at over 3,000 Muscle car's . Chevelle's Camaro's even a Dodge Superbird. Worth $ 350,000 . That thing was just awesome. 740 HP to the rear wheels. . The cars were just fantastic there. I stayed there till it looked like rain might be on the way ( MEL) . But it never came. It was HOT in the Sun. Cooler in the shade. But I was getting hungry. And time was getting into the late afternoon. So I headed home with a cold bottle of water. My wife called and said to not to eat what's on the stove. It's for everyone tonight. Ohh Man . It smelled SO GOOD. But I held out till everyone showed up at our house this time. One nice thing was I got to sit around and chat with the guy that bought my Chevelle. What a NICE guy! I brough some old stuff I had from the Chevelle. And gave him racing oils , Filter, manuals and some interior parts I had. he was glad to get them. So all in all. It was a fantastic day. Plus made a New friend . Which is always nice! Today nothing going on here. Took Ozzie out for a walk and not sitting here with you . Sunday's are a day of rest ! . Ok see ya all later. Good afternoon Space . Nice to see you on here again pal. Who's that guy that started the morning blog ? Nice Job C ya

JEN: Nice touch on the picture. I was going to say something yesterday that you should take a pic of them side by side. But that was even a better shot. NICE WORK Good camera eye !
