Jeez, man... I think I was still living in Escanaba the last time I saw or heard anything from you. That's been 7+ years now.
Bought an '82 Imperial, that made me smile. Crushed the '81 LeBaron coupe, which made me sad for awhile but now it's OK. Bought v8440's Challenger, made me very happy. Still working on it, sorta recreating the '73 from my youth. Also got a '61 Plymouth Suburban, which is a rat but too "hep" to crush, you dig? Sittin' on a couple of 340s, couple of 318s, three 360s, and just picked up a 440 on Wedneday. Amassed a lot of cool parts, sold off a lot of 'em to scratch by, then amassed a larger lot of cool parts. Got a dog with a heart-shaped tramp stamp and named her Valentine. Currently drowning in cars and parts, but still can't drive. Fixing the license is in process. Still single/no girlfriend 10+ years. That's the good stuff.
Bad? Left my beloved Auto Value job after a royal screwing by the company. Almost literally drank myself to death afterword; I mean organ shutdown, hospital, Last Rites--the whole nine. Mom died about 18 months ago after a long, amazingly resilient battle with cancer (a lot of people actually didn't know she was even sick, much less in chemo, until very shortly before she passed). Had a violent stalker for 5 years, had to get the cops involved a few times; still not sure if that's over or not. Still single/no girlfriend after 10+ years.
That's the nutshell, sizzlechest. What's shakin' on the big end?
