Geez thanks for caring all. I thought the only ones that would me is the wife and kids when the money stopped coming in.

I have been working, and for those of my friends that are retired that forgot what work is. I have definition below to help you guys remember. Please let me know if you need further explanation.

Work [wurk] ; Noun, adjective, verb

1. Exertion or effort directed to produce of accomplish something; labor;toil.
2. Something on which exertion or labor is expended; a task of understanding
3. Productive or operative activity
4. Employment, as in some form of industry, especially as means of earning one's livelihood
5. One's place of employment

I'm adding to the all of programs the government mandates to make all of your lives better, so when you are driving down the road please remember me working to paying taxes to make those roads possible or when your political vote to up the taxes on the working class..think of me.

Seriously, we are in the middle of rolling out of our linkage and suspension line to the aftermarket along with our friction offering and it has been more work than we all anticipated, our first roll out have been the LA area and NY NY and they are very demanding customers.

As for the clock in the Camaro...if it was only the clock I could live with it, but I've had to change a tail light bulb and the AM radio light bulb so you can only image the living nightmare I have to live with. I had the Chevelle last night and it ran great. This weekend I'm hoping to get them both cleaned up.

Also, I'm on here a lot more than Ray Barnes...hows he doing?

Hey Ric, glad you're doing okay, good to hear from you. I saw Ray on Sunday at Bakers, first time since last fall. He's been busy too, working to support us retired guys. He's working in Troy so he's got a long commute. Still seeing Trish, the lady he met last year, sounds serious.

I'm sure the clock isn't completely broke.....after all it's right on time not once, but twice a day!

Ric, I am surprised it took you so long to realize those bulbs were not working. They didn't work in the Chevelle either, but the ones I took out of the Camaro and put in the Chevelle did.

He's alive and well, I saw the AWOL Ric Beckman at Baker's yesterday. Nice day there, not too hot, good turnout. Good to see you again Ric, been awhile.

Hi Hank,
Weather permitting, I might be going to Bakers next Saturday June 1st for the F-body M&G. I'm trying to sell my 02 Camaro SS and thought that would be a good place to go. I've heard everyone is welcome to the show. You don't have to own a Camaro or Firebird to participate. It would great to see you guys again

Baker's has special events through the summer but is always open to all cruisers as far as I know. They usually set up a special area for things like that then the rest is open. Maybe you see you there Brian.

I know you guys think this is no big thing but let me set up a scenario for you.
I'm driving on I-75 with my hair blowing in the wind and all of sudden it starts getting dark because I did not know what time it was because the "clock" does not work, so I start heading home and trying to get to a radio station so I can hear the weather and guess what....the light on the radio does not work so I can't find a station.....and then guess what, I get pulled over because the tail light is burned out and I'm so pissed off because of all of these things are wrong and I get arrested for disorderly conduct. All of this because the clock did not work. Now you know the rest of the story.

Good seeing you guys too Hank, I will be at Bakers on Saturday at the Camaro meet and greet and hopefully get to see Brian there.

I have to get back to work to pay those taxes so all of you retired guys can enjoy the fruits of my labor.

Are you talking about the hair on your arm, because I have seen you without a hat on?
