Jim,
We are doing great! We just bought a town home in Coronado, CA. We are going to make a trip back to the midwest this summer to visit with family. It should be fun, I have not been to my parents in over 2 1/2 years.
Take care,
Tim

Hopefully you can stick around dude. How has the show circuit been? Tell us what you and the wife have been doing.
Hi Greg, thanks for the comments....
I've been taking a break from the car show circuit lately and just driving the vette around when weather/work permits....
Still working all time without many breaks....... trying to get things in order to hopefully retire at the end of this year...
Darla still has her black C6 vert and is driving it daily.....sometimes she even lets me get behind the wheel.....

I appreciate the comments Gene......
You're exactly right on always having to be on the straight and narrow in this car... there's defiantly no sneaking around anywhere....
For some strange reason the paint scheme and the nice exhaust note from the big cam, long-tube headers & B&B Bullets seem to gather quite a bit of attention.........

Holy cow!! welcome back stranger. I was just asking Irv where the heck you have been. Me and Junkman tried calling you when we were in Carlisle last year....

You are getting good with that camera I gave up trying to figure my camera out.

Maybe we will see you in Paducah in September

Hey David, nothing wrong with the XSi....very nice camera......
You're right though, the 1D Mk1V is rather pricey.........
If memory serves me correct, way back in 1973 I paid about the same amount for a brand new 'Z28 Camaro' that I sure wish I still owned!!!!.........
