Evie's been Adopted!

Hi Jimmy,

Back in 1994 I got Evie, a brand new little Ford Escort. She is Calypso Green...which is a color that looks like it changes under differing lights. I took care of her and drove her a total of 261,000 miles. She had one issue during that whole time- and still runs like a charm....but...there isn't enough room for a wrecked truck, a truck that needs TLC, a Miata and a Jeep...(sigh...). She little Evie was offered for adoption.

My buddy Lou bought her for his son. Sam is quite cool, was once a fencing student but the call of the silver screen lured him away. NOW, however, he is getting into music and needs a car. LAST thing a musician needs is any sort of hot rod or custom car...too much damn time goes into keeping them running, and that don't even touch the money ity takes. I SWEAR 90% of the reason I never got anywhere with my own musical dreams was it was pissed away under a shadetree trying to fix the junker to make it back to work to get enough to fix the junker....I hope Evie is Sam's first step to making it....serve 'em both right! (I did tell Lou I'd probably buy her back if they want to get rid of her in a year or so when Sam is too cool for her...).


So it's been way to long since I updated here. I got Apollo running ok, and have Cracker 95% taken apart. I have to get the windows out and take off the doors and I am done. Hopefully this week.

I have taken a class at the local school for paint and body...might get to paint Apollo, but will fix all the minor crap for sure.

Oh well, The Girl is making floats now...gotta go! All this to turn 45 in a few hours.

Someday I AM!
