Really a quality story, here Casey - well paced with a consistent voice.  Thank you!  The most painful thing in many lives is regret - especially regret of lost opportunity due to our own failures or weaknesses.  Any epilogue on if Gus has tied back out with his kids?  That was the one piece that I wanted to know - if…

eehhh.... too ethnic.

Yep - it’s called ‘honors’.

Yes - there’s something in Golf called honors where the best score on the previous hole has honors to tee off first.

This exactly - it’s the plate work that’s the issue with Joe West.  That’s where the complaints usually are with him.  Mark Behrle might disagree that he’s not the worst, though.

Damn - a guy like this makes Joe ‘Baked Potatuh’ West look like the better option.

YEEEEEAAAAAAH!!!

Read the whole thing.

Fair enough.  So between $100 to $600 depending on your level of aptitude and amount of work you want to put in.

I mean, yeah, but here’s one for under a hundred on Summit Racing:

I like ‘expired rain’ for an alternate label of Hail.  Like laundry juice for detergent, hair soap for shampoo, and asshole for congressman.

Bingo - flood damage and I’m out, but otherwise this is an impressively priced.  A new hood will run you $160 before shipping.  At that cheap, I’m asking the dealer to replace it before I finish the sale.  Otherwise, buy it, have an interior detail done, and run the nuts off of it.

You must have me confused with another, very handsome individual.

Counterpoint - Here’s an absolutely beautiful 1968 F-100 for $15,000:

THAT’S CALLED EFFICIENCY, PEOPLE.  LOOK IT UP.

I’m a Royals fan, so I have to have some rooting for the Padres to get one going this year and make some noise too since Hos is out there. He was a great part of the team here and I wish he was still in powder blues.  Too bad there won’t be much to root for with my team, but hoping they can surprise some people.

Definitely going to get all the Hafner fan’s votes...

Damnit - that is great. Call the movie ‘The Sepsis Anomaly’.

How certain are we that this isn’t another Rivian test mule?
