Farewell, dear Mongrel


Ladies and Gentlemen, I need a drink.
For those of you that know my truck, the Mongrel, she is gone.
Background: I spent four years building a Lil Red Express Clone exactly the way I wanted it. It was built to to my 57 Plymouth to Tulsa in 2007 for the digging up of the buried 57 Belvedere. Since then, my daughter was born, so a single cab truck is not very practical.
It's fast. It's loud. It's comfortable. It's reliable (finally!).
It had to go.
Raise a glass with me gentlemen. My truck is gone.
I hope the new owner enjoys it. He got it for a lot less than I spent to build it.

Someone call VH1


I just had the best week ever!!


My buddy Kevin Cooper is finally back from Iraq! That's the best news I've had in a year.


I got paid for an inspection I did in Feb. Yup, months late...


I sold the truck!! It's off to Canada and out of my life. I think I miss it, but I'm not sure.


I got to see my college room mate again, which is nice since he lives in God's Waiting Room (Florida).


I won $450 at a car show! Woo hoo!! Time to finish my AR-15 build.

New employee


Cooper Home Inspection has just hired a crawlspace specialist.


Still trying to sell the truck. I'm tired of being lied to. If you don't want it, just say so. Really, is that so hard?


Anyway, I'm working on my second column for The Blythewood Leader. My first is supposed to be published in the upcoming issue. Wish me luck!
