I emphatically add my recognition of the anniversary of a GREAT gentleman's birth. The USA celebrates the contributions of presidents and a major influence in individual rights. The entire VCCA should recognize the contributions of BB.

BB?....BB? Nope nothing rings a bell. But if Beamer is willing to slop all that tribute on such an unknown then I'll just fall in line and do as well. Happy birthday BB and I hope you have heeded the requests by your neighbors (read demands) to hide that old 36 coupe/pickup where passersby can't see it.  Just kidding. Seriously, I hope you are enjoying good health and that all is well with you and yours. Thanks, as well, for all you did for the clup when you were riding herd. Best wishes, Charlie

Gosh.... Thanks everyone. I had almost forgotten. :-) Since today's milestone ends in a ZERO, that means that I have 6.04 years left. Check it out HERE.Kind of amusing. Before I saw these postings, I was searching for a video for Rustoholic, that used to be on the old VCCA web pages. I'd forgotten about all of the great, old Chevy commercials that were posted there. Some of them really good. One of my favorites HERE.

Thanks again everyone. My day started when my oldest daughter dropped off our 2-year old grandson for us to babysit, as we do four days a week. It was about 7:30 am, and earlier, she stopped at a store and bought me a Double Something Something Latte coffee and two doughnuts!! Great! A sugar-high before 8 am. ha ha.
Then throughout the day I received many phone calls and visitors with well-wishes. I truly appreciate everyone's comments (even Charlie's!!! ha ha).
Later in the day, I finally found the long-lost video that Rustoholic wanted me to look for. Naturally, it was in the LAST PLACE that I looked.
To top it all off, my wife gave me a great birthday present.... drum roll.... A new chainsaw!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dang, she knows what I like.

And, now for your enjoyment, a long-lost video with Rustoholic and his 1928 1/2 Ton Canopy Delivery taking a ride around the neighborhood with me as co-pilot. This was how I ended my 19 day trip on Route 66 in 2014. Around the Neighborhood
