Always good to read your posts, you have a great style.
Congrats on turning 40! I did that 5 years ago, it was kinda weird at first. I still feel like I'm 25

Something like fast cars, girls, beer, and making some lettuce to by hot-rod parts !! Keep up the good work !!! >>>>.

Great job, Keep it comin. Congrats on the Kido and your birthday as well

**Chris 50** · 09-08-2010, 10:30 AM

I can relate to having kids (a 2 year old and a 10 month old) and slowing down on the car shows and such. I've got a couple single friends busting my balls about it. Right now I've thrashing on my wagon to make the Hunnert Pile up in Oct. and so my Hot Rodder "license" isn't revoked for lack of participation. Good thing we have the H.A.M.B.

justanotherguy · 09-08-2010, 10:23 AM

It's nice drinking coffee "with you" a couple days a week old buddy.
I'll be seeing you soon to toast the F-word with ya. ; )-

I think LilT would have Jays ass in a sling if it did! The wrath of a 4 year old can be a strong one!

LOL.
Thanks for the past year Jay, I hope you can "stick with it". I always dig your TJJ posts and the way you often see things from a designer/artist's perspective. Wish I could see more of your cool old film posts though (Youtube blocked at work and home comp. way too slow).

parisian62 · 09-08-2010, 04:49 PM

Thanks for all those posts Jay. You blokes do an amazing job pumping out the Jalopy - informative and entertaining - always one of the first things I read of a morning...trouble is it usually gets me sidetracked for the rest of the day dreaming about hot rods...

**brett4christ** · 09-08-2010, 10:35 AM

Thanks for your posts....they keep us informed and entertained, all at the same time!

**Jimmy B** · 09-08-2010, 10:38 AM

Happy Birthday Jay. Saw you at Pebble Beach and Bonneville, I suppose if you are going to limit the events you attend you may as well pick the cream of the crop. & good for inspiration for major projects

I enjoy reading the posts that you and Ryan post on the TJJ blog. Keep up the good work.
