Because I'm really old, I also sponsor a couple of up and coming NASCAR racers, providing their DJ Safety safety equipment and driver suits. Since I wasn't fortunate enough to have kids myself, here's kind of a proud parent moment. Both have Cup level driving skills and wrench on their own race cars. Shantel on the left, and Nicole on the right. Shantel captured the Sportsman feature win last night at the Wyant Group Raceway season opener, and I'm helping with her debut in the Pinty's NASCAR Series this year.

A noble endeavour, good on you Vin, must feel good to make a difference.

This thread is depressing, I’m a workaholic. Do stressing and drinking gallons of coffee count? I used to hike and mountain bike.

I had bead-rolled the Pontiac symbol over the gas tank cover. I was showing it off when the picture was taken.

Them are Firebird wheels, but they do look the same as Fiero wheels.

2x3 tube frame, full roll cage, entire drivetrain out of an '88 Firebird, including the TBI wiring harness mated with the Suzuki wiring. Narrowed 7.5" axle, S10 spindles, fabricated freaking everything.

I'm all-in at about $2500 US at this point. Likely up for sale this fall or spring to finance the '61 Apache build.

The entire build is documented here:

I also build and run RC boats. The most satisfaction comes from the designing and problem solving during the build process, but the maneuvering and avoiding obstacles in the pond is also a fun pastime.

Crappie are the best freshwater fish to eat, in my opinion. I've been known to slay a few now and then.

Yeah, that was one of them big boys. I turned it loose after my dad took the picture. I rarely keep those big ones. I would rather keep smaller ones for eating. GTT

**Boog** · 06-06-2018, 07:19 PM

Crappie are one of the best tasting fish out there. Give me a ring about the time they hit the hot grease will ya?

I went hybrid bass fishing up on Greer's Ferry Lake last friday. Fished in the rain but I had a good day.

**Boog** · 06-07-2018, 10:22 AM

Good time on the water.

In The Ten Ring · 06-08-2018, 08:15 PM

Well, if I win these latest auctions, I'll be up to 16 straight razors, all of which I will shave with and two vintage "safety razors," both of which I will shave with.

I think that's the fastest I've ever grown a collection of anything.
