There's Another Stang in The Stable

Loni and I (Joey) bought a new car this week. With me leaving for boot camp and her car on the fritz, she needed more reliability. "Triple Black" is a black on black on black "02 convertible GT. Loni feels like she fits into the Cherry family now.

I used my wallet as a reference to show the depth of the lip.

New addition to WCR
Thursday, September 21, 2006, 03:21 PM
A very good friend of mine gave me hunting priveleges on one of his pastures outide of Brazoria. Most of the time, the place is accessible via pick-up except after a heavy rain. A few years ago, I sold my 4-wheeler, and I had no altenate means of accessing the property under wet & muddy conditions. Additionally, I'd been wanting some kind of "pit-mobile" when we raced at the larger tracks or needed to pull the car back to the pits (for various reasons). Soooo, I visited the local Kawasaki dealer and visited various 4-wheeler websites, and found Mules and 360CC+ 4-wheelers to be a little "pricey". There wa$ a problem................Probem solved:

I bought this thing frrom a golf cart re-saler, and it had a brand new 9HP gas motor in it. Additionally, I retro-fitted it w/a 5" lift kit, head & tail lite kit, a flip-down rear seat, and custom off-road wheels & tires.

The only problem I've encountered so far is that I was told it would fit in the bed of by F-350 Ford pick-up. Not so, with the rear seat addition. Oh well, time to start lookin' at those 28' box trailers ;).

Below is the new flower bed that Veronica and I have been working on the last few weekends. It took a lot of blood, sweat & beers ...(there was gatoraide, popsicles, several gallons of tea, and a few spontaneous dips in the pool mixed in there too).

"I’m not old, I’m not old, I’m not old......”
Monday, August 21, 2006, 01:56 PM
I spoke with by daughter yesterday over the phone. As I was visiting with her, she was sunning on the roof top of her apartment in New York, watching the clouds go by. I had just come in from mowing the yard in the 98 degree heat. Prior to that, I had planted some kind of “Aussie” plant and some Caladiums in the back yard.. Prior to that, I laid out about 35 feet of flat rocks that had to fit together like puzzle pieces for a flower bed border. So needless to say, I was a little out of breath and my back was killing me from unloading 3 yards of top soil and a ½ yard of river gravel out of the back of my pick-up into a wheelbarrow on Saturday. Have I ever told you just how much a ½ yard of rocks is? IT’S A LOTTA ROCKS!.... I digress…. Anyway, Beth starts telling me that I’m not getting old. She has me repeating after her (between gasps of air),” I’m not old, I’m not old, I’m not old…”.
When I hung up, I collapsed on the couch.
Coincedently, I received what’s below in an e-mail this morning:
