When I was a electrician's helper, one of the journeymen was vibrating about his new ('77) 442. I was just back from 2 years in Korea and he was disappointed in my underwhelmed reaction. It was a nice car at a time when gas prices were going up after Nixon's price caps had been lifted. By then it had nearly tripled (about $0.62 for a gallon of regular leaded) from when I got my first car.

Everyone's mindset was changing and I wasn't a gear head yet.

I like the '68-'71 model years particularly.

Agreed.  Those were the glory years.  Except for the 65 GTO convertible... :drool:

Split a bunch of wood with a maul.  There is little that gives me as much pleasure.

Enjoyed a wonderful weather afternoon in the bleechers at Wrigley Field - watching the...  CUBS WIN, CUBS WIN!

A low score game - but a wonderful day enjoyed by all.

We just took a family bike ride (Burley trailer FTW!) and then I'll be heading off to play some Star Trek with my friends.
She's got a worm in 'er belly? That's disgusting! That's interesting, but very disgusting.

Became a grandfather - again - for the 5th time - but...
THIS one is a BOY!!
I am so happy that I did a wheelie on the way home from work - in traffic, for which I am moderately sorry...
I have 3 daughters - no son.  I can not explain the feeling of having a boy in the family.

I have a friend who was like that. 2 girls and HAD to have a boy. He has 3 grown daughters now. I was happy that my (2) girls were healthy and grew up to be great adults who also have healthy girls (and boys).

Canoed with friends this morning, and spent some time with my lovely bride relaxing by the pool today:

Concrete shoe. Plastic cover over the pool. Kids are gone.

Yep- she had surgery a couple weeks ago and can only slide in the stairs.  I dive under the cover (it was a lazy afternoon!).
