Thanksgiving Food

My favorite foods on Thanksgiving would have to be dressing with cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie. I really love all the foods but Thanksgiving wouldnt be the same without those. It's like a treat. We may have dressing or pumpkin pie other times of the year but it's rare. We always have turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, rolls, and other stuff too. We always have turkey, but I dont think I would care to much if we had chicken or ham instead.

The car

I've been disassembling the interior of my car. So far I've discovered that the majority of it will need to be replaced. The floor pans are rusted through so new metal shall be welded in place. The dash panel is cracked so I think I will replace it with a 93-02 F-body dash. The front seats are in horrible condition so instead of recovering them I beleive GTO seats would be an upgrade, of course I would have to have them partly recovered to remove the emborary. The headliner was missing when we bought the car as well as the dash speakers. Sound defining will be added and new weatherstripping to keep the cab area quite. It's been keeping me busy, but atleast I'll no I saved a piece of history from the junkyard.

Rain

I hate rain unless its storming. I love to hear thunder and see flashes of lightning but rain in general sucks. However rain does help me sleep, I love to listen to it. It's just that rain tends to put a damper on things. Outside is left wet and sloshy. It seems that everytime I wash my truck it rains the in the the next day or two. Unless your a farmer or the city is in a drought most people dont like rain in the middle of the day unless it gets them out of work or something else they may want to do.

Music

I like almost all genres of music. When I was little I always liked country. I grew up listening to George Straight, Brooks and Dunn, and Shania Twain. Then my taste's began to change. I used to love listening to Will Smith's Miami back in the day. Now I usually listen to rap. People always think its funny when I say I listen to DMX, Gucci, or Tech N9ne. I've always been considered some what of a redneck and I guess people think I wouldnt like rap. I even like oldies such as "Free Ride" and "Gimme Some a Lovin." I like all kinds of music.

Service

I had three uncles that served in the army, I've never really heard them talk about what they did in the past and I've never asked. My cousin is in the Marines. I've heard him talk about the training he has gone through but do to his position he probably will never see war. I know his training was some times brutal. In one event they tied his hands above his head and literally beat him so he wouldn't be apt to give the enemy vital information if he ever encounted them. I have a friend in the army and another friend that passed the test to become a Navy Seal, but he was discharged because of medical problems. I respect veterans but I do not think they deserve special treatment. It was their choice to serve. I would most likely never join the service, however if the time ever came to defending our country on American soil then I would gladly help defend it.

Halloween

I had a great Halloween. I woke up at 2 in the morning and left a 3am for Trenton, OH. I finally bought my car after 4 hours or so of driving. We loaded my 91 camaro up on the auto transport I rented and headed home. The car is a piece of crap for sure, but that's what I wanted. It's a good project car, almost everything will need to be replaced. Of course when I got home I wanted to show it off so I drove it around for a while then began to clean it up. I planned on hanging out with everyone that night but I ended up falling asleep at 8:00pm, no parties for me. However I ended up with the biggest treat out of any of my friends. I have been dying to begin my build and now that the car is in my possession it feels unreal. Today my brother is now the owner of two houses and 3 properties, so the only hold up is the shop. Everything has been going great. With the mowing season coming to an end these projects will keep my entertained the whole winter. After school I'm going to go check out the houses. I have still not seen the inside of either house, but I'm curious to see how much work they will need. You cant expect to good of quality considering both houses and the plots of land only cost $43,000. From what I've heard one of the houses needs to be demolished. There is also a shed/shop on the property that needs to go and my brother said it's packed with all kinds of things.
