- October 02, 2012, 10:20:57 AMCool! My father, who turned 86 this September, started restoration on a 1929 Model A Tudor this spring. It was an Arizona car, so has almost no rust, but front fenders are rough and the left rear was crumpled, front seats missing, car does run, but needs a new cam gear. Hope he gets the chance to finish it.
Regards and such,

- October 01, 2012, 21:34:37 PMSemi-retired now but worked for years in the toy and game industry. Started as a board game designer for Western Publishing (Golden Book) Worked my way up to divisional director of their sound book division, spent a hitch as VP of marketing for Tiger/Hasbro Toys, new business development VP for a slot machine company, and finally heading up design and development for a Canadian toy company.
Today I "work" from home dabbling in new product development, computer design, and inventor relations. I burnt my ties, and haven't worn anything but jeans, sweats or shorts for six years. Between jobs I work on my hot rod and when things start getting too much like a real job I jump on my bike (formerly Triumph - recently Difter) and head for the back roads. That's my life and I'm sticking to it.

Lovin' every minute of it! To work in a kitchen with a window is almost unheard of, but to work in a kitchen where the scenery changes in the blink of an eye is Awesome!!!
Been there many times, just waved at the train, never rode it.
Alas, I am stuck in MS. so doubt i will see the train again anytime soon.
it's an old quoth, but soo true..
Wish I was There!!
