Happy Birthday Fred! 70? I feel like 25, look like 75. Get that Z out and hammer it a bit before you start wondering why you still have it.

Thanks Pat. You are right, I have to get my Z out for a nice ride. Maybe I'll take a spin down to Vancouver for a Pizza visit to Tom Wong. Or maybe we can have another Pizza GTG in Issaquah. What do you think?

Fine with me but I'm booked next weekend for the Airshow of The Cascades in Madras Oregon and still plan on the Winthrop run, otherwise I'm open.

Happy Birthday, Fred. Welcome to the codgers club. There are some advantages I've discovered to being your age.

1. A 20 year warranty on a new roof is almost the same as a lifetime warranty.

2. When you hit on young women, you're considered a cute old man and not hauled into to court for sexual harassment.

3. You don't buy as much at Costco as you used to. At least without getting out a calculator.

4. Life insurance salespeople stop pestering you.

5. Your doctor stops asking you about your sex life.

6. If you were a dog you'd be 490 years old

7. You find rocks in your back yard that are younger than you.

8. People open doors for you and call you sir.

9, You want one of those devices on TV that help you get in and out of the car.

10. You prefer to hang out with old people. Strange old people.

Thanks. Had a great time. My three daughters and my oldest grand daughter came up a week before to celebrate early. Did three nights in Victoria, a place I absolutely love.

Awesome! Our last night on our Alaskan Cruise was in Victoria and I loved that town, if it wasn't Canada I'd think about moving there. Only stop on that Cruise were we saw any cool cars and we saw a lot!

Belated Birthday Fred. We were OofC.

Time for a new car. You're not getting any younger

Happy belated birthday Fred. Its been a long time since I have posted much here. I have been real busy, and even more so now with two boys. Not much time for anything except work and the boys.

Two boys. wow. Congrats Tom. Long time no see. I have to make a trip down your way for pizza. I've been up and down about selling my car. As of now I'm leaning on keeping it, but I'm still thinking about removing the headers and putting back on the stock exhaust manifolds. I need the car to be a little more civilized. At least enough that I can hear the cell phone when I'm driving.

Fred, I think the only thing that is going to quiet that beast down is a set of Corsa mufflers like you had. That will still give you the beastly note from stop to stop and at wide open. But will give you a quiet no drone note cruising down the free way. My car as loud as it is, is nearly stone quiet going down the freeway at speed, I hear more road noise than I do exhaust. I can easily hear the cell phone and talk to the passenger without straining my ears or yelling. If you sold the car what would you get? I am a little on the fence about selling mine as well, I drove it three times this year! I purchased a new Yukon Denali XL last month to replace my 02 3/4 ton suburban. That truck drives like a luxury car! The boys love it since it has in car wifi and DVD screens to keep them busy and not fighting
