Man Ric, I feel real bad now about selling you such a POS. The right thing for me to do would be to give you the pocket watch to hang from the mirror, give you this old transistor radio that I've had for 50 years, and the extra mag-lite flashlight that can be duct-taped to the rear quarter panel. That SHOULD finally make you happy.

Oh yeah...about that "hair blowing in the wind".....wake up Ric, you are having a dream!!!!

We took the 34 Hot Rod to a small show, hundred cars or so, this weekend and they gave us Peoples Choice, Best of Show award. Kathy likes that stuff, me, not so much. Makes her happy though.

So you've seen Ric without a hat too... scalp blowing in the breeze would be a better description.

If it it makes Kathy happy that's good, gotta keep the women happy. Congratulations, that's a sweet ride.

I hope the tornado missed your place Ric. News has some pictures of things out your way. Some look pretty bad.

Where at did they hit by me? the only thing I heard was that it touched down in Goodrich and Mt Morris which is closer to you. We were under warnings for a couple hours. My Daughter was at a concert at Meadow Brook and they shut down for while till the warnings were lifted.

Looks like the tornado missed you Ric. It hit about three miles from me. We didn't lose power, but across Genesee Road they did. We had a hell of a rain, some decent winds, and that stinking Blue Heron killed another one of the big fish in the pond. He kills out of meaness, cause the fish he kills are way too big for him to eat. If I have my way, I'll be eating him.

Ric, I was thinking that you were if Fenton Township. That's where she landed. Saw a guy on the news that got wiped out in the tornado a fews years back. He got hit again in his new place that he just got finished.

I watched the news last night and the one that hit in Fenton Twp is only 5 miles from me and it was reported 115mph winds, I was sitting on the front porch when it hit and the winds at our place were not that bad...goes to show you how wierd these things are.

As for the guy that got hit, he was only a mile from us in 2007 when it hit Fenton and it did 40K damage to my house but it did a lot of damage to others, it even wiped out the tractor supply store that they had just build and opened a week earlier. Fenton seems to be a magnet for these things.
