Thanks! with having last saturday off for that, and this coming saturday off for my youngest sisters college graduation, i doubt i can make it to homecoming! but the rundown of torque fest birthday weekend goes like this...  WEEEELLLLLL, after spending my free time for the last couple weeks working on the old gmc, adding power brakes, power steering, all new door and window seals/regulators, carpet, armrest... etc, it was finally ready to go for a drive. we took of for a 350 mile round trip cruise to vintage torque fest. even though my 70 is 5 years to new to be part of it, its still a good time hanging out with friends and family. we took friday and saturday off to be there fri sat sun.(i never have friday or saturday off!) this is how my birthday weekend started out. woke up to eggs and sausage friday morning...  loaded up the truck and took off for our 3 hour drive over there. someone always seems to sleep on the road... must be nice!    the girls hanging out where its warmer! yes there are bullet holes in the glass.  hit up the show friday, and hungout late for all the bands that night. Saturday morning had another hott date with my ladies!  cruising in style on the way to Knickers for some preparty breakfast bloody marys before heading to the show!  its pretty rare to get a pic of me i dont mind, but the fiance managed this one when i wasnt paying attention. kicked back leaning against a friends big blocked 55 chevy just enjoying life with friends.  Sunday morning before leaving town, some of us got together for birthday brunch and more bloody marys! cruising over to east dubuque for breakfast at Timmermans supper club. it has a heck of a view from the bluff        the old tank made its 350 mile round trip, plus a bunch of running around with no real noticeable problems. heck we even averaged 85-90+ for probably an hour and a half or more on the way back. (tucked in behind someone who was apparently in a big hurry.) it didnt miss a beat. not sure what i got on the way back, but the way up running 70-75 i got a solid 15 mpg. best ive gotten was 17 but that was a day spent mostly on 55mph roads.  getting old sucks, but i sure suppose it could be worse! (especially since my parents were sure id never make it to 20, much less 37...!) | ||

Nice, you've got a good eye for photography, and some stunning subject matter doesn't hurt. And now I'm hungry for eggs and sausage, LOL | ||

Happy belated birthday, Tim, and congratulations on completing 37 laps around the sun! +1 on the beautiful photos. You have an artist's eye. For a good while I drove a '64 Ford pickup. I called it Old Paint, because "Old Paint" sounds better than "Young Rust". 'Sold it in '97. If I were to do it over, I'd have hung on to it longer and renamed it Old Faithful. May you, your beautiful family, and classy truck enjoy many miles together. | ||

The older I get, the same age people guess that am. It's like getting stuck in time fifteen years ago. That used to feel like a curse. Now it's a blessing. I'll enjoy that 'till the grays, laugh lines, and long ear hairs betray me  . I think we were born at a good time...from the end of the analog era to the current digital revolution. We have an appreciation for simpler times in these days of digital integration and social media, and social engineering. Have a good one, and thanks for sharing. | ||
