Well, my brother was finally in town and available to pull his car out of hibernation...for a few minutes.

We were lucky enough to have Bill Pritchard and his wife over for Thanksgiving dinner. As the sun was setting we went to my bro's house to do a quick photo shoot in the fading light http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Here's the pics!

Parking brake is okay...he lives in the "hills"...and it's pretty steep. We actually need to fix his water pump!

I'm trying to convince him to get the Camaro to Pavillions... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif

Those '66 SS Chevelles are just so http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif--When they first came out Parkslope Chevrolet had one in the window all by itself that color blue with redlines --It was so different looking in '66--I had to go in and ask the salesman if this was a special test car or was it for sale---------It was luv at first sight---Real Pretty ride Bruce

Wow, those pictures came out better than I thought they would. Didn't seem like there was enough light left outside.
Fortunately Bruce still has the drivers side of his Chevelle intact....some moron in a Escalade came by making like he was Arie Luyendyk or something http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif, while Bruce was snapping those photos. Mind you this was on a one block long street with no outlet.

Anyway, dinner was excellent, the Chevelle rides and drives great (thanks, Steve http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif) and Gary's Camaro is a beauty. Still in Gary's garage during the photo op was his Z06 Corvette....it's blue, too http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif And in another 48 hours or so I will be back in the frigid north http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Joe...thanks...I love the car...can you tell? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Mr. Pritchard, it was GREAT to have dinner with you and Marilee...I don't think I've had a better Thanksgiving in quite a while.

That moron in the Escalade was probably out driving "Daddy's" car...for his sake, he's lucky he kept going...and didn't hit anyone or anything...DAMN kids! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

He was probably wearing a shirt with this on it http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/stupid.gif

I hope everyone had as good of a time on Thanksgiving as our family did. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Oh yeah Thanksgiving was absolutely wonderful. Bob Gagliano came over and we had a somewhat nice dinner. Ate a bunch of turkey and all the fixin's. Bob brought his signature canned cranberries which was a real treat. The meal itself was interesting. It was the first time I had ever seen someone pick out the pimentos in the green olives and eat them separately. After he detected I was annoyed he started putting the pimentos in his mouth and loudly annoucning "Hey, I'm a snake!". After dinner we relaxed and watched some football. I bet we pounded about a dozen chocolate milks. Then we had a arm wrestling competition which resulted in a tie. I probably could have taken him but I was pretty bloated from all the milk. We started drawing pictures of each other but I was having a hard time with the ace bandage I had just put on my wrist. And frankly his moustache is just too difficult to draw. It actually was a good time to stop because I was getting irritated with Bob peeling the paper off the crayons. I tried to talk him into a game of Clue but couldn't convince him. So after about 10 minutes of his nagging I agreed to a card game of war. The game was going fine until we started making obnoxious noises. While Bob was doing armpit farts I discovered that he brought a whole deck of aces which he had concealed under his sleeve like a pack of cigarettes. I started yelling at him and called him a cheater. He didn't like that so much and that's when he grabbed me by the ears and threw me to the ground and began stepping on my head. Lucky for him my Mom came in and broke it up as I was about to unleash the mother of all indian burns on him. At this point Bob was told to go home for the evening and not to come back until we could both behave like gentlemen. We'll see what happens next year.

Anyone else got the cabin fever. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Great story Darren, but we all know Bob (belairless, wait a minute............we can't call him "Belairless" any more) is in FL.
I know, .... you're feeling the separation. It's YOU and Bob that have been sharing the sheets, huh? Geeeeeeeeeeez, I should've figured it out a long time ago...... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Aw man I was just horsing around. Thought I would take a stab at some creative writing. Sorry if I spooked you guys. I thought it would be kinda funny considering Bob would probably rather have a root canal without novacaine than spend a holiday anywhere near me. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif

Hope everyone had a great holiday. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Darren...that was too funny. You should further your gift for creative writing! Remember, your essay on "What I did over the Thankgiving weekend" is due on Monday...all revisions have to be complete...and it has to be in it's final form.

Thanks you! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
