I'm roadtripping to Nor Cal again at the end of this month. My buddy, Mal's, birthday and mine. I'm thinking I'll drive the Monte Carlo. It has a whole 12 miles on it since getting it running again. That's enough test mileagae, right?

It is apparently for me

Josh's memorial is tomorrow, Mom's best friend's son who committed suicide. His Mom, Judy, was hanging tough since she had been busy the last two weeks going through his things and handling the details of his memorial. She kinda fell apart today. It didn't help the police came by and said they found security camera footage of Josh's dive off the garage.

My mother couldn't understand why he would do such a thing. Josh had been dealing with advancing rhuematoid arthritis for years and the pain just gets worse and worse. He also was diagnosed with some other issues. I guess his life was becoming nothing more than a painful existence. I can understand that. To me, there is a difference between living and existing. I was there at age nineteen and one night, I was a fraction of a second from a bullet going through my temple. I was lucky the hammer didn't fall and by the time the sun came up the next morning I had decided I wasn't going to quit. It's too bad that Josh didn't make it to the next sunrise. Maybe he would've decided not to quit either. RIP Josh.

I'm headed off to Joliet in a few to lend an extra set of eyes on a injected nitro harley. Their best ET so far is a 6.40 something.
This should be interesting.

Interesting grouping of cars at the salvage yard yesterday. Some of the highligts: 74 Monte Carlo, 69 Opel GT, 2 V8 Dodge Darts, 49 Packard Clipper, 72 Catalina, 71 Fleetwood, 2 flat fendered Jeeps, 6 67-72 Chevy P/U's, 72 MGB coupe, 69 Mustang Grande, 71 Mustang notchback. Those were the ones being parted.

In the same sales lot where I got my Caprice: 66 Impala coupe (self control, Scott, self control) 66 Impala sedan, 63 Galaxie coupe, 68 Barracuda fastback, and a super clean blue 73 LTD coupe just like Barnaby Jones' car.

The CHARLES WICKAM is too hard to read...think Branding, Try the same font as Photography but with a little extra drop shadow or outlining.
Blur the car a little or gray scale it down it is too sharp and detracting from the lettering, I might take the pattern off the car and still blur or gray scale it.

Just my thoughts...

Why is replacing an EGR valve turning into such a pain in the ass? Oh yeah, rust and the fact that no one has an EGR tube for my car. Time to break out the propane torch and hope I don't melt anything important.
