Hello everyone....just got back from Maryland...I was only there for 16 hours, sold my Teal SVO and delivered it....Jill, it now lives over in Overlea not too far from your work so you might see it around....After 20 years I cut it loose and it's back in the same state I found it in ironically. Still working on thinning the herd...next on the chopping block is the Roush F150 project....
Still.....lol. I have a birthday next month and I think I'm going to stop counting them after this one

I'm 27 days away from the big 50. In my mind I'm still 25, but after working out or spending a lot of time under the hood, I'm reminded that I'm not.

Same old thing....only the industry is getting worse in that it's hiring complete idiots which makes my job harder....I cringe every time I have to order parts anymore....lol
If I had taken a plane back it would have only been a couple hours but I didn't want a cavity search or have to answer questions about carrying cash

Here is a great pic of OC that people have been sharing (in case you didn't see it on FB yet). Two more weeks until I'm there for the White Marlin Open.......vacation can't come soon enough!

Haven't been to the Gulf yet, but it is on my list and I will some day. It's just a little too far of a drive from here. We mainly go because a bunch of us all go the same week so we can hang out with our friends. Plus my husband does not like to sit on the beach so at least I have people to sit with on the beach. We are also going to Rodanthe, NC for a week in October (will be my first time to the Outer Banks). And next year we are thinking about renting cabin in Gatlinburg (never been there either).

Already counting down the days, I see. I see myself as much younger in my mind too. Oh well, once you hit 40 it's all downhill from there!

I'll be sure to ask since I know nothing about the area. I actually just requested a booklet from their tourism office yesterday. But if we go, I can assure you it will not be during Christmas. If I take any type of vacation during the winter, it's going to be some place warm and tropical!

It's ****ing ridiculous that people can't sell something for cash and bring that cash home without fearing the government would confiscate it and call it drug money and never have to return it. It burns me up.
I remember picking up a payment from a customer who we had built a house for. This was for his overages and extras. He had me come to the house to discuss a couple of items that needed fixing. He handed me $10,000 cash instead of a check. Then we had a couple of drinks. I was driving Seven since it was after hours. As I'm driving home, 20 miles, I realize I've got $10k in cash, I've had a couple of drinks, I'm speeding, in a car that's a cop magnet with no catalytic converters and long tube header and to top it off no front license plate which state troopers love to pull people over for.
And to top it all off I was on the major drug highway from Mexico to Houston.
I put cruise control on the speed limit and prayed the whole way home.

So, Paul and Lee or anybody else familiar with the area......what's the biggest differences between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge? I know they are relatively close to each other, but that's the extent of my knowledge. I just hear people talk about Gatlinburg more than I hear them talk about Pigeon Forge.

It's really all one area....it's a 10 minute ride between the two unless there is heavy traffic. Pigeon Forge is a LOT easier to get around and has A LOT more parking options. Gatlinburg is tough to park and you typically have to pay for parking....but once you park you can walk up and down the shops. The Ole Smokey Moonshine store in Gatlinburg is bigger but they all give free samples...there are other shine places too like the Old Mill and one other that give free samples. Cades Cove is nice for rural scenery and there are cabin rentals there too....it's a little further out but not far at all.

Well, you think your scared of the people at the parts house, try being where I am...I work for a parts house and I find it scary to watch the cars that roll into our lot...then to deal with people who think they know more then me or the other person I work with when we have a combined total of 20+ (estimated) years of working on cars (me on fords him on Chevy)...and let's not get on the certification bit either...

No problem....make sure you ride the alpine coasters, I think there are 3 of them now...one in Gatlinburg and two in pigeon forge on the road that goes to Cades Cove...Goats on the roof just finished theirs, I passed by it on Monday on my way back...and yes, they have Goats on the roof there....

Waiting for a new battery for my '65. Found a 2015 50th LE in the showroom. Unsold, no markup. It's beautiful.
