Good Morning All,

Relatively cool but heavy / humid air this morning. Patches of fog and low hanging clouds on the way to work.

Wicked weather early afternoon yesterday. The weatherman forecasted a 40% chance of rain. NOT! There was a solid line of thunderstorms hundreds of miles long. I was driving across town for a meeting when it hit (luckily had my old car, not the bike). Traffic almost stopped on I-565 because the rain was so heavy; wipers couldn't keep up with the volume of water.

Space and Missile Defense Conference being held at the Von Braun Center the next few days. I'll head over in a little while to cruise the big exhibitor hall. I usually run into a few old buddies from my Army days.

Yeah, big time. The only reason I didn't ride was because I had to get dressed up for the meeting. Sometimes I'll ride even when wearing a suit (riding gear on, coat stowed in top case); but it was my first time meeting with these folks and didn't want to risk looking rumpled when I arrived, so I took the car.

Goodmorning everyone! got offered an apprenticeship/detailer position about a month ago, filled out all the paper work, now just waiting for them to call me and get me in there learning! Can't wait!! I want to get into car body and paint, but mostly paint work. Really looking forward to this and I hope they hurry up! I'm so sick of working in my step uncles pizza shop, he's so rude and mean. Ugh!


Hope everyone has a great day!

Hi `Ash,
Keep bug'in them & let them know U really want the `job..
Also, tell them you want to get that SuperCharged Monte S.S. that you just looked at
Wish you the best on getting that `job, but don't give `up 4-Sure...

It sucks to work at a place U aren't happy, but it's still better then no job @ `all until you get a `job that pays you for something you would like to `do...Wish U the best 4-Sure

Hi `Jerry, we understand you have a lot going on in your life with you recent investments...It's great to read that `Hunter has been a great helper & I love to see a father & son working & bonding 2gether..The experience he is getting will help him in his future.

I hope that Brendan & his father can work out a deal.
Look forward to your updates

Oh, what is back to normal ? I'm still try'in 2 figure `out what normal `is ? I've never been normal (LOL)
Good luck on your new investment & selling your Monte to a lucky new owner...I wish it was `me
