Bob,
Stay safe, I hear those Tornado's aren't a lot of fun.
Marty,
How's the Kitty, What happened? I was at the Vet yesterday picking up some drops and someone was just dropping off what must have been a 3-5 month palm size furrball that'd been hit in the road.
So Tony, where you going to take the camper first now that you got Big Red back on the road? Do we need to start planning a Summer Fling?

Hello, North Carolina! I've been hanging out in the VA thread for the past little while, but since I live so close to Carolina, I figured I'd introduce myself and stop by here as well from time to time. Looking forward to BS'ing with my neighbors to the south 
And I see you guys already have a "James," so feel free to call me "OTL"

Sounds like your dad's continuing to make progress. I'm glad to hear it

Hey OTL.
I might be moving up that way at some point. Girl is looking at teaching in Fairfax right now. We always have some shenanigans going on around here.
Tony,
Don't think I've ever been out to Kerr Lake. Think my old shop foreman used to keep a house boat out there. Though I could be just getting the name wrong.
Shawn,
Good to hear about your dad. Sorry to hear he's in another Chevy, some people have bad luck that lasts years.

Josh, the kitty is slowly getting better, I hope. He gets an URI every couple of years and it's rough on him. As soon as we see a bout of it coming on we start treatment so he doesn't lose his sense of smell and stop eating. When he stops eating we then have to force feed him with a syringe. The last couple of times(including this one)we've had to. No fun.
Thanks for asking.
OTL, welcome and make yourself right at home.
I hope everyone out in NCFTE land is doing well.
Be Good.

lol he prefers it... hes a GM guy.. dealership was able to determine the other 2 shops were wrong and was actually the powersteering fluid cooler.. dealerships waiting on parts... so they gave him that fully loaded 2017 1500 silverado to drive around.. wasnt even the loaner vehicle.. was just one they had sitting on the lot waiting for someone to come buy it..
