Depending on the day, Maria wants to come & we really want to try to get together with youze guys.
Holidays will be fast approaching, and the delivery date is still very tentative. We'll have to see how things play out.

I'll be in touch.

For those interested.
Mike Fennel recently passed.
He was a body guy that built a pretty large restoration and body shop.
We used to hang around when we were kids hoping some juju would rub off.

here's the real deal behind that calendar.... back when, they had
a civil servant making the calendar, and he made it that far before
he retired, and they never bothered to replace him......

I've worked with this moron many times.
He makes boat loads of bank, has servants hanging on his every word, a writer to pen his fluff, lives in a pampered bubble, travel paid for, yet, feels he can pontificate on any subject he sees fit, and preach to us lowly serfs on how the laws of our land are the reason psychos do what they do.

Who needs a gun? OJ? No. The dude in Wyoming? No.

Someone intent on doing the deed will find a way.

The dude murdered his girlfriend in front of her mother, then made a 3 month old girl an orphan by taking his own life. Yet somehow, the method by which he chose to commit these acts becomes the focus? The gun, not he, is responsible for it?

That's NBC for you...they never let a tragedy pass without using it as an opportunity to further their agenda. They've got news programs for all of that, I wish they would keep that crap out of their sports broadcasts.

And that's all I'll say about that...don't want to get too political in here

I don't see that as political. Just makes sense.
