Thank you gentlemen! Appreciate the birthday wishes, just glad and happy to still be around and healthy with all the crap that’s going on around us. Getting older ain’t much fun, but it beats the hell out of the alternative I suppose.

48 and holding on Monday…
D,
You're still a kid in my eyes. :giggle: You're at your prime @ 48. I'll be 71 this year. Talk about getting old. I'm at the other end of the spectrum. :confused:...but. as you said, it beats the alternative.

And in other news, just got back from roughly 12 hours worth of cruising and driving time (give or take and hour or two), and everything is still performing flawlessly.

Got a couple minor little issues to address tomorrow, a guy at the local cruise night informed me that I have a reverse light out, and I’m getting some strange crackling out of the front speakers. The stereo head unit needs supporting at the back, which may or may not be related to the speakers crackling. But that’s about it. I’ll give the engine a good going over to make sure there’s no oil leaks after the rebuilding we did on the entire front of it now that it’s clean, but I’m not expecting to find anything.

Got a chance to test out and see if the new posi is actually working, and, well, you be the judge…

Super Jelly😁. This what I miss the most out of my car, next month hopefully🙏. The Challenger moves but AWD and traction control makes this impossible.

Don’t get too excited, it was just a Friday night Cruisin’’ the Dub. Nothing special. The same old guys sitting around in yawn chairs showing off their same old clapped out cruisers like they’ve done for the last 30 years. The parking lot emptied out around 8:00, I’m guessing they all had to make it home before Matlock started and bedtime. The car scene around here sucks beyond belief.
All the rest of the shows and cruises here have been shut down due to the ‘Rona too, just like you guys.
