"Something inside has died" __ Carole King __ 'It's Too Late' In the last week or so, I've fluctuated TOO many times between believing the best course of action is to sell & "move on"/say goodbye to my MCs ...versus... to find a way to keep for what I've worked so hard. It's difficult to fathom saying goodbye, particularly to my MCs... ...72 (mine for ~10 years) ...76 (mine for ~14 years) ...79 (mine for ~20 years, 1st car) ...81 (mine for ~13 years, ~17 years w/parents; will go back to them or to my sis/bro-in-law) ...87 (mine for ~9 years) ...BUT, maybe it's for the best. Reading through the Emails I've received of plans & ability (skills/money) to follow through, it seems my MCs would be better with new owners. That helps...somewhat. It will be difficult (especially for the '72 & '76) to determine who benefits with the $1 price. The '79 & '87 have less interest, so if you are thinking about either, EMAIL me ASAP. I'll send an Email to all who've Emailed me (BCC'd) sometime this week. Yes, I'd prefer to sell for $1 (no amount of money would replace them). On a side note, I'm considering an offer to attend the MC Nationals this coming week/weekend in TN. I'm on the proverbial fence right now, going back'n'forth on whether to accept or not.... It'd be good to get out of the house, do a road trip (of sorts), see friends (family), & MAYBE network. On the other hand, I know others a lot worse off than I am...& I don't want to send the wrong message....

* The English language is a curious thing.

"free gift" ... thought all "gifts" were "free? Apparently not! Interesting sentences: "A calendar's days are numbered." "A committee is a group that keeps minutes & loses hours."

"The only thing changing is my way of thinking" __ Dottie West __ 'A Lesson in Leaving' I've "disappeared" from the boards/groups & Facebook a while, but it has been for the best...I think. I've been able to do some projects & focus on the job hunt & related volunteer opportunities (customer service, DJ, social media, web content editing, marketing/sales). I will soon re-activate my FB account to connect & interact with people again. Whatever "fighting/positive" attitude/outlook I have is certainly being tested. Out-of-whack perhaps, but for me, selling my MCs is more devastating than having a 4th OHS, 11/11/2011. The time of year ... cruise nights, shows, gatherings, road trips ... makes this even more unbearable & frustrating. At times, I just want them all sold NOW ... with a quick end so I'm not thinking about it. Yet, the thought of no longer being a member of some boards & no longer owning cars that have, at the very least, defined part of my life ... is rather sobering (I don't drink). As appealing to me as it is to only have a rear-wheel-drive-only nameplate car, it's tough to keep the tears away at the thought of selling what I've worked so hard to own & keep, especially when I look at all of the models, brochures & other memorabilia I've also collected.

* ...Probably because I prefer NOT to think about "doomsday", despite the circumstances in which I find myself now. I suppose, though, this would've been one way to get back on the radio.... I'm trying to retain my positive/fighting outlook/attitude, but having to sell my cars at the start of the summer (i.e. cruising, gathering, road tripping) season is a bit much ... perhaps more so than having OHS. I can't imagine no longer owning cars that have been part of my life for so long now, let alone not being part of many MC forums. It's been quite a ride (pun intended) meeting many people, attending shows/gatherings/cruises, etc. Looking through my road trip pics & my automotive memorabilia (models, brochures, etc.) is quite a trip through memory lane. Instead of the boards/groups/FB, I've worked on some projects &, of course, continue to look for work (customer service, radio, web content editing, marketing, social media). Sometime, I will re-activate my FB account so I can connect/interact again. On a brighter/cooler note, have you seen THIS? It's typewriter art by Paul Smith...!

"There was a time I was a true believer" __ Jennifer Warnes __ 'I Know A Heartache When I See One' A difficult decision, my Monte Carlos (all of which have special significances for me), including my 1st car (1979) & the one my nephew "claimed" (1987), are FOR SALE. I've been unemployed for nearly 4 months with no current viable prospects, I still owe open heart surgery medical bills, & I'll lose my storage. I can't believe this is happening (especially since illegal immigrants get benefits), but such is life. Someone noted that this situation IS my fault since, for me, medical procedures/expenses are expected; of course, that person is correct. Still, it's ironic that selling is partly because, less than 3 weeks after returning to full time work following my 11/11/2011 open heart surgery, I found myself out of employment from the company that had a campaign to promote "grill decency".... The job hunt is not going well, but I've done some personal projects. While I continue to try to get hired, I'm researching volunteer opportunities. I've been applying to customer service, social media, web content editing, & marketing/sales careers. Selling isn't ALL bad; POSITIVES in EVERY situation, right? In this case, once my MCs are sold ... I won't own a front-wheel-drive nameplate vehicle (until Ch#$r%*et introduces the all-new front-wheel drive Caprice!) ...&... I'll have fewer boards/groups to visit, translating into more time for the remaining boards, driving, writing, etc.! OK, so maybe those aren't complete positives.... All of my cars have special significances to me, so selling is MADDENING; I'm sure I'll shed a tear or more as each leaves for a new home/family. GENERAL INFO * None of my MCs have been thoroughly cleaned in a few years. * My MCs have not been started since 11/05/2011, before my 11/11/2011 OHS. * I have some boxes w/car parts; some cars MAY include extra parts. * The record-setting 2008 MidSummer Chitown Gathering that I set up (65 attendees) remains the only time all of my MCs were at the same show/gathering/event: http://pics.projectmonte.com/album/12498 Attendance at the 2009 & 2010 MidSummer events dropped considerably; different areas were tried in 2011: https://picasaweb.google.com/knightfan26917/3rdAnnualMidSummerChitownGathering https://picasaweb.google.com/knightfan26917/2011MeetNGreets02 ...and of course cruise nights: https://picasaweb.google.com/knightfan26917/RoadsNWheelsJumpStartCruiseNightOHSParty05122012 * INTERESTED?

"It's different now" __ Conway Twitty __ 'Goodbye Time' Irony rocks. I've recently learned that, in ~1 year, I'll lose the year-round garage storage (heated in winters) that I've appreciated the last 10+ years. The couple that owns the house, building & property is moving to SC. I will not have the funds needed to buy the place, though I would LOVE to live there. So, since other similar storage options in the area are more expensive, unemployment continues & medical bills are still due ... it's probably time to sell my MCs. Yep, life is still good. It's just frustrating to watch things for which I've worked hard disappear due to no fault of my own. At least I can still drive & write! Hardly seems fair, but life isn't fair.
