Wow. Congrats Phil and Jenny. After talking with them, I knew that it was going to happen sometime down the line, but I didn't know it would be so soon. Yes, he probably is going crazy to not be in his shop for a week, but he needs the vacation.

Let's see. I don't know who Phil is and I didn't know what DTE was. I had no idea that he was getting married and since I didn't know any of that stuff, you can understand how I couldn't make the connection to C5 Corvettes. Your reply now clears it up a little for me. With that said, congrats to Phil

We're back finally!!

Well, Jenny and I just flew back in town late last night after a 13-day vacation/honeymoon hiatis and we had a *GREAT* time with everything we did, saw or experienced! It was really nice for both of us to take a vacation after all these years and we're definately glad we're home. I just can't wait to get back into the office Monday...we really miss the shop!

Thanks for coming to the reception wrusty! We wish we knew you were there so we could have shot the breeze with ya. We figured you must have dropped by judging by the gift you left for us. Thank you, we REALLY appreciated it!! I'll talk with you sometime Monday.

In a nutshell, we were go-go-go for nearly 13 days straight and needless to say, we're tired... We saw a LOT of places, did a LOT of things, stayed in a LOT of very nice four/five star motels and restaurants and just plain had fun!

- Stayed at the Hyatt Regency in St. Louis..
- Visited the Kansas City Chiefs football/baseball stadiums and the weight training facilities..
- Toured the Harley-Davidson Motorcycle V-Rod assembly plant..
- Visited the location of the Fort Leveanworth Military installation..
- Visited the location of the infamous Leveanworth State Prison..
- Visited family in Missouri..
- Toured the original outlaw Jesse James house he was shot in..
- Stayed at the Red Lion in Denver..
- Toured the Coors Brewery in Golden, Colorado..
- Drove the snow-capped Rocky Mountains..
- Walked in the *cold* Colorado River..
- Stayed in the Marriot in downtown Salt Lake City..
- Drove through the Nevada desert and saw a LOT of military facilities, (advertised and unadvertised) including a couple of nuclear testing sites..
- Gat a damned speeding ticket in a small, speed-trap, toilet-of-a-town of Tonopah, Nevada for doing 40 MPH in a 25 MPH zone... Can you believe that.....
- Stayed in Bishop, California..
- Visited the Bonneville Salt Flats
- Rented ATV's and went riding in the Sierra Nevada mountains in Northern, California.. I climbed a 437 ft. mountain with an XR400 dirt bike!!!
- Sat on the California Aquaduct pipeline..
- Got my cell phone stolen in Mojave. California..
- Dropped by Edwards Air Force Base..
- Drove a portion of the scenic I-5 interstate and Pacific Coast Highway..
- Stayed in Ventura, California..
- Dropped by A&A Corvette..
- Dropped by Magnuson Products..
- Watched a bunch of surfers at Marina Bay Beach in Ventura, CA.
- Walked in the Pacific Ocean at Marina Bay Beach
- Spent the day on the Santa Monica Pier
- Visited downtown L.A. (never again..)
- Stayed in the Rennasance Motel in Holleywood, California..
- Spent a night on the Holleywood Strip and visited MANY attractions there..
- Visited the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood..
- Visited the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood..
- Took a tour of Paramont Pictures in Hollywood and walked on the set of "Dr. Phil", "ET Tonight", "Mission Impossible 3" and a new sitcom called "Love Inc.". We saw Alissa Milano, another chick from the "Charmed" sitcom and the super-hot blond chick that screws everyone on the show of "Nip Tuck".
- Got on the live audiance set of the Jimmey Kimmel Live show in Hollywood..
- Saw a Kenny Chesney Concert in Hollywood..
- Drove to Las Vegas, Nevada..
- Stayed at the Hotel Paris on the Vegas Strip..
- Dropped by Nellis Air Force Base..
- Toured the Hoover Dam.. (WOW!)
- Visited the Las Vegas Motor Speeday and watched some drag racing..
- Visited all the major casinos on the old-Vegas, Fremont Street strip..
- Visited nearly all the major casinos on the new-Vegas, Las Vegas strip..

Whewww, I think that's about it.... We had a ball and we had a unique opportunity to see some of the most majestic mountain scenery a person could see! This land; as our we, are truly blessed and after seeing all our great U.S.A. like this really makes us proud to be Americans!!!!!!

We have a lot to be thankful for and after seeing this all of this, we once again extend our extreme gratitude to the Veterans living and deceased that have given us the glorious country freedoms we all have!!

God Bless this land!!!

We'll be back in the office Monday, so we'll answer all messages and emails then! Have a good Holiday weekend folks!


Phil & Jenny
DTE

WOW I'd say you did a whirl-wind tour of the west! Did you save time for "you know what?"

Congrats on your marriage -

Oh, by the way...

It was really neat and interesting to see the different cities and towns of some of our customers/tuners/installers that we ship to all across the USA! We recognized quite a lot of them as we passed through.

Some of you guys truly live in some very unique and beautiful country compared to the "Great Flat North" we live in here....in Northern Indiana. Our hats off to you folks and it must be really cool to live in an area that has a mountain of some sort in literally your back yard!!

I lived all my life in Chicago, Phil - except for the last 14 years that I've lived in Phoenix. I know I could never move back. It isn't Paradise, but except for summer, it's pretty darn close.

Glad you didn't take offense to the "you know what" crack - Happy Trails!

Congrats Phil! You should have honeymooned here in Hawaii (and bring a set of 3:90 gears with you) and I would have bought you all the mai tai's you could drink (after you installed my gears).

Aloha,
Bill
