Sad news indeed. My condolences to his friends and family.

Congrats on the milestone, Robert! It was good visiting with you in October.

My daily driver/work truck is this low-mileage 2006 Chevy Avalanche:

My "toy" is a 1927 Essex pickup that was hotrodded by friends back in the late 70's. I...

I wish I could make it. I've never been to Folklorama, it's high time that I went!

Thanks for letting us know. Here's wishing a speedy recovery for you, Ham!

I went through a similar thing in January, damn near tore me apart. It's amazing how these little furry creatures ingrain themselves in our lives so deeply.
My heart goes out to you for your loss.

Another couple came to mind...
Travellin' Soldier, by the Dixie Chicks.
Emma, by Hot Chocolate

"He Would Be Sixteen", by Michelle Wright.
I gave my 3-day old daughter up for adoption back in 1984 and that song really hit home for me.

What...did I sell you one of my old Triumph or BSA choppers?? :lol:

Lucas electronics work just fine, as long as you don't let the smoke out of the wires. :p

I've never had a British sports car, but I've always wanted one. Yours is a beaut!!

Most excellent, Ron! :pith:

I tip my hat to you, sir! It's nice to see these places kept with the character intact. So many get gutted and modernized inside.

Beautiful old place! I love old places like that.
Are you keeping the character of the interior or gutting it and modernizing?

Congrats! I know how exciting a time that can be! :D

Lots of snow here! We got another 10" or so last night, so I've been up since 7 am shovelling and snowblowing out my customers driveways and sidewalks. I still have another 7 or 8 to do tomorrow. I...

A little update for everyone...
We took Lincoln's remains to the vet to day to have him cremated. They had a nice urn in similar colours to his fur that we've picked out. He'll have a special place...

Thanks again, everyone. Karen and I appreciate the kind words.

That looks like it was a blast! I love the theme!

Thank you for your kind words, everyone. They mean a lot right now.

Happy birthday, Rocky!

I am often moved to tears reading fellow Xmarks posts about losing a beloved pet. I can be quite emotional when it comes to furry family members.

Today was a bad day for me as I had to have my 16...

With apologies to "General" Larry Platt, I present this...

Kilt in the air,
Kilt in the air,
Struttin' like a stud
wit' yer kilt in the air.
Women goin' crazy,
Men run off in fear,
Struttin'...

I still have the plate, but it's just hanging on my garage wall now. I haven't bothered to get the same one here. Yet. :)

When I lived in Calgary we used to go out to the Kilt & Caber pub in McKenzie Town. It's one of the things I miss the most about living there.
