Saturday – Dad learned about a carshow happening in Ducktown, TN a few weeks ago, and had been talking to someone that was organizing it about entering his ’69 Camaro in it. It was put off one week due to rain, but honestly couldnt’ have occurred on a better day. It was a bit windy, but nice and sunny out. Without trying to be bias, I really think my Dad should have one in the “Original” class, instead of a Dodge Viper that was one of the 5 to place in that class. Dad’s Camaro really should have been in an “Original/Unrestored” class instead. I mean, a stock ’96 or 97 ‘Viper versus an all original unrestored ’69 Camaro SS 396/375hp, which would you pick? But even without winning, it was fun. This was the first time in years and years that we’ve all went to a show together. The best part was getting to spend the day with my Aunt & Uncle that I don’t get to see very often. They have a place up there that they stay at pretty often, so we hung out with our Aunt and made some lunch for everyone. We talked and talked, and laughed like crazy about some things. It was good again to spend time with her, especially since she’s so much like Mom.

Tonight sometime after work we’re going up to Chattanooga to check out this years World of Wheels car-show. I haven’t been in a couple of years, so it’s going to be fun to check out all of the nice cars that they will have there this year. I was hoping that the ’09 Camaro from the Transformers movie would be there, but no such luck I don’t believe. Oh well, it’ll still be great nonetheless
Character is what emerges from all the little things you were too busy to do yesterday, but did anyway.
