Thank you Tony. I am.
Can't worry about what is gone. Mainly youth. Just got to enjoy what you got left. I live vicariously though my son now. Trying to teach him all the old school ways. He is leaning into being a computer geek I see that now. But I am trying to instill the go get it make it your self attitude in him. On my van site there is a woman who has a 93 astro awd. It threw a rod and she moved on to gen2 vans and has several of those. We been PM ing and i getting that one. It is going to be a father son project for his first car. He grew up in the van I got and he wants one bad. Wife already hinted you know he is going to want a chevelle as he starts driving. Well there you go. I am roped into doing another one of those with him. My self I would rather him spend all his money on that. Hang in the garage and work with dad. Than go out and eat Tide pods with his peers. |

Good luck with the boy. I like seeing a father take an interest in their kids future. Way too many kids nowadays don't want a damn thing to do with anything mechanical. Sad. Like you say, they eat Tide Pods. Shake my stinkin head.
I watched a video yesterday where about 20 of those mask-wearing anti-fascist punks got their ass whipped by 5 Trump supporters. Made my day! |

I was, am a computer geek I guess. Spent 38 years fixing them or writing software for them. But that was my job, not my life. Today kids live inside a virtual world, playing on the computer, social media, etc. They don't know how to live in the real world and interact with other people. Go to a restaurant and see how many people are looking at their phones instead of the person or people they're with.

I did the SUV rear brake upgrade on my father's Sierra this morning. Then torched some brackets off of a rear axle for the volksrod. Uneventful day, wasn't in the mood to do much.

I did something very foolish about 1 AM ,could not sleep so I grabbed my phone and posted 2 trucks and my 81 Trans Am on several FaceBook group sale pages for sale .One truck is a 65 Chevy short fleet truck that is very rusty and I called it a parts truck . People went nuts over that thing and wanted to know if it ran and drove ,dependable ,all for $1200. My damn phone has gone nuts all day .I deleted the Trans Am add on the Pontiac sale site because they were a bunch of pricks .

The guy that I bought my Nomad from about 10 years ago had two sons. Both in their early twenties. He had the Nomad and a 34 Ford coupe. When he found out he had cancer and only a few months to live, he told the boys they could each have a car. Neither one wanted a car. They are into games on the computer.
