knightfan26917 Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 * I have a love-hate relationship with these type of images. Love seeing the developed art forms, but hate seeing vehicles wasting away: http://www.oldcarsstronghearts.com/2015/11/30/memory-monday-43/ & http://www.oldcarsstronghearts.com/2015/12/04/flashback-friday-43/ An interesting 2-tone Dodge. Not exactly my cup of tea, but I like the color scheme & it certainly stands out in a crowd: http://www.oldcarsstronghearts.com/2015/12/01/twist-tuesday-43/ A friend of mine built this 1986 Monte Carlo SS & included scale Illinois Route 66 license plates on it. Of course, the plates are my favorite aspect of the model: http://www.oldcarsstronghearts.com/2015/11/30/model-monday-43/ Last but not least & a long time coming, my life is about to travel a new road: http://www.oldcarsstronghearts.com/2015/12/04/friday-files-43/ Cort www.oldcarsstronghearts.com pigValve, paceMaker, cowValve | 1979 Caprice Classic (awaiting new owner) "I shiver when I see the falling snow" __ Merle Haggard __ 'If We Make It Through December' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightfan26917 Posted December 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 * I this posted early Wednesday morning about the new job starting: http://www.oldcarsstronghearts.com/2015/12/09/daily-dose-wake-up-wed-44/ Days 1-2-3 went well. It was surreal enough to be back in the workforce I did not get much done this week; adjustment time has commenced! Given my cough & other things I want to do, glad this is part-time. Tho my pocket book may not like it, this is an excellent way to get back into a routine & not feel too completely drained. While I am starting to understand my tasks, I get a bit confused & flustered; I am anxious to get to the point when I understand what to do & how it fits into the big picture. All in due time, I know. Next week will be 5 straight days, 4 hours each. Hoping this cough & chest pain will be gone soon, too.

32vld Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Glad you got good news. I lost my job back in 2007 and have not been able to get back to where I was financially. Though after 2 years I started a landscape maintenance business and snow. It has grown painfully slow. Though I have been able to hang on. I gave this little bio to say I know what you have been going through. We just have to keep plugging on. Maybe someday I will afford my first coast to coast trip.

knightfan26917 Posted December 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 *nods* Thank you for sharing your story. In a not-so-good ironic way, it's nice to know I'm not alone. It is very frustrating to watch what you've built up & saved evaporate into the thin air, literally & figuratively ... & then to be "left behind" by so-called friends. *shrugs* Part of life, I know, but it still doesn't take the sting away. Very glad you have been able to hang on; I know how tough that is at times.
