GOOD GUY'S GARAGE

[Ray Cecil]

I've always been more of a Chevy guy, but I love the Ford Panther platform cars. This one kept me mostly uninjured when I lost control on a slick Kentucky Hollar back road, wound up going backwards in a ditch before coming to a rather fast stop by hitting a retaining wall. Yes the trunk is in the back seat now.

[Ray Cecil]

I love them so much I upgraded to the grandpa edition!!! 2004 Ultimate Edition with 93,000 miles. I can't believe how cheap these cars are. $5500 for this B-E-A-U-T-Y!!

[Ray Cecil]

Its getting there. Still need some knee bracing, handrail, install the electrical outlets and fixtures, and some concrete.

Thanks a lot guys. Its been about a year from the moment I first dug some ground.

I got another year probably before I really get it to where I want it. Then I have to build my wife a house, instead of living in a double wide....

1200 square foot double wide trailer....3040 square foot man cave.....I got my priorities straight guys!!!

.....and she still loves me and brings me beer and sandwiches....I don't know how I got so lucky...

[Gary Lewis]

You are indeed lucky, Ray.  Not to mention the boys she's brought you.  

Anyway, it is looking great!  Mine is FULL and cluttered.  Dirty, really.  So, I'm envious of the size.

Had a little party for grannies 80th birthday in the pole barn.

Not all the family was there. My sister just had a baby and was still in the hospital, that is why Holly is holding a picture of her and her husband. The little guy on my knee is their first born.

Wonderful memory. Thanks for sharing!

[Ray Cecil]

Thanks for caring! It's nice to brag on family. They are a good group. The reason I left Oklahoma mainly.

[Gary Lewis]

Beautiful family.   Glad you are close to yours.  Levi and Ray Ray (Little Ray?) sure are growing up.

Oddly enough, we are in Florida visiting our son, DiL, and granddaughter. And our daughter and grandtwins are in our house, having left here yesterday.

Not really a tool, but it is for the garage. I think it was $10 (can't find the invoice) it came from an on-line auction site in Pittsville MD.

[Gary Lewis]

That would be pretty handy.  But are you suggesting that Ray get one for his Good Guy's Garage?

[85lebaront2]

That would be his choice

[Ray Cecil]

Sorry, been AWOL awhile. Things have been really busy at work and haven't had much chance to respond to anything.

I like the water fountain idea. Except I don't drink tap water. I drink distilled water and take mineral supplements. Tap water has too many chemicals, fish piss, and other contaminates in it. I prefer not to put that crap in my body unless absolutely necessary. I don't care what anyone says about distilled water being dangerous on leaching minerals from the body. It leaches inorganic minerals. Which I dont want in there anyway. I want organic minerals. Thats why I take wheat grass shots daily.

[Gary Lewis]

Welcome back!

Wheat grass shots?  Ouch!  But I do ingest a fair amount of distilled water.  We use it in our Keurig to keep the calcium buildup down, so I get it with my several cups each day.  

[Ray Cecil]

Hey Gary. Yeah, wheat grass. I actually make a lemonade type drink out of it. I take wheat grass powder and distilled water, then add a tablespoon of real organic lemon juice. Its pretty tasty. Its not what you think. It actually helps my stomach a lot. I've gotten rid of indigestion this way.

[Gary Lewis]

Oh, a drink rather than an injection.  That sounds better.  Glad it is helping.

[85lebaront2]

We have well water here, with a softener to remove the extra minerals. Fortunately we can get good well water even though we are less than a mile from the Atlantic Ocean.

Hey Ray,

I see a cheap-ish Bullnose Flareside 4x4 over in eastern TN in case you're still looking.

Damn dogs had me up at 4am, so I've had time to scan all of North America for Bullnoses this morning;).
