The North American
International Auto Show is a site to be seen around the country, but in
the Detroit area it is a chance for the millions of local auto workers
that live here to see what they may be producing and take pride in their
company's name. Every year in January, the Cobo Center hosts the Detroit
version of the Auto show and every year well over a half million people
make the trip to the venue to take in the glory. This is a show for
everyone, even the little ones. This years event took place from January
19 thru January 27th. It was a week of beauty, style, and concept. If
you are a people watcher there is something here for you. If you are a
car aficionado this is your dream, and if you are just looking for your
next vehicle this is the place to start.
He seemed to bring back his
memories in full color HD detail in my mind. A lot of those stories are
fleeting at best, I am sure he added in his own little exaggerated
touches but back then it didn't matter. That is what Deer Camp stories
did for me in D&DH magazine in the off season too. My Dad used to call
my grandfather a bullshitter and never fully understood that till after
growing up and experiencing life for myself. I think this life needs
bullshitters to carry on that tradition of deer hunting we have all come
to love.

Chloe
was born on March 22, 2012 my second granddaughter. She has been a
blessing to me since the first time I saw her beautiful face. I am
graced with the ability to work form the comfort of my home, however, my
son has not been that fortunate. He is a welder and works 3rd shift so I
volunteered to be the nanny and take care of the baby while he and his
wife both worked. At 43 and having an 11 year old of my own, this life
checkpoint sort of threw me for a loop. As my eyeballs came back into focus, I watched him unfold the
same pocket knife and as he bent to retrieve another chile from the
plant, I prayed it wasn't for me. Realizing it wasn't I thanked the
great capsicum god in the Hatch volcano and considered crying.
On December 14th
while stalled in traffic, my dad was the victim of a wreck whereby an 18
wheel truck hit a stalled line of traffic and the truck was going 65
mph. My dad was one car up from the point of impact. Ford Truck Deal is
not something you will find too much information on. You might want to
check neverypay2much.com. Even the strength of his 1991 ford truck deal
could not keep him from sustaining injuries. All of his ribs were broken
and his pelvis was crushed, his brain was bleeding and he was on life
support. To digress a bit, I need to tell you that Sgt. Grace lied. First,
the language I was assigned to study was Vietnamese. Second, after going
through the 101st Airborne Division's jungle combat school in Phan Rang,
I was assigned to the 1st Brigade, a reactionary unit. I joined them in
Dak To, and early the next morning was flown out to join an artillery
battery in what was called "Operation Eagle Bait". Didn't take long to
find out we were the bait, and Charlie was the eagle. The objective was
to tempt the Viet Cong into attacking us, then bring in an assault wave
of Huey's loaded with infantry, and wipe the enemy out. What I quickly
discovered is that there is nothing in the world comparable to the first
night you are brought out of a deep sleep by M-60 machine gun fire. Skip: "Yaw, I can see that, let me yell at him: --'Hay stupid, yaw
you, what you doing!"' Amery looks at Skip as if that might not be the
smartest thing to do. The PC is
no longer the only way of accessing the Internet. We now have PDA's and
cellphones that can access the Internet, and send and receive e-mail. By
this time next year, as more people learn the use and benefit of these
devises; anything needed to maintain and restore these Classic Car
investments can be obtained while driving down the road.
