We're driving our '16 Cadillac CTS-V. Based on the mapping I did pre-trip, it should be right around 4,000 miles, but will update when we're home in a couple of weeks.

The next day we headed to Grand Junction. Through Denver, we took a little side trip to the Red Rocks Amphitheater. It’s a pretty arduous “walk” to the amphitheater itself, but what a glorious venue! We stopped in Frisco, CO for a bio break, and being near lunchtime, I again challenged Lori...

We decided to hit up Manitou Springs for lunch. Lori found the Manitou Brewing Company on the web with good ratings and we decided to try it. We both tried their MBC brat, which is house made with onions and peppers. Very tasty! Then we explored the Garden of the Gods. This plaque explains a...

Saturday, we decided to take on Pikes Peak. I didn’t know we needed advance tickets to do the ascent, so while in traffic, Lori hits the website to buy tickets. Just before we got to the entrance, she lost cell service. ****. But, as we get closer, there are people working the cars, and we were...

We had the bilge plug fall out of my first boat, a 15'9" runabout with a 115 Merc. We were on the Willamette river in Portland, and using Ross Island as a place to have everyone lounge and do standing starts waterskiing. The bilge plug on this particular boat was put in from the exterior of...

Yesterday was more driving from Amarillo to Colorado Springs. We stopped in Raton and had lunch at a 100+ year old restaurant, Papa’s Sweet Shop. We ventured up to the Broadmoor Hotel. It’s probably been 15 years since I was here last for a board meeting - Lori has never been here. Their rooms...

Mike, while we were there last night, nobody had the "stones" to take on the challenge. Yeah, in addition to the steak, there's a shrimp cocktail, salad, loaded baked potato, bread & butter. Astoundingly, the record is under 5 minutes and a rather petite woman (based on her "champion" picture)...

Today was day one of our 20-day road trip. Nothing exciting today, just 5+ hours to Amarillo. But, before we left, breakfast at our favorite local diner. Their "ultimate omelet" is one of the best I've had. We were a bit late hitting the road as we're taking advantage of our absence to get...

Cam, what they say about great minds and all!!!! You enjoy your trip as well. From where we are tonight, this is all virgin territory for Lori!

Cam, if you were only closer. . . . . . . . . . . . We're headed to SLC through Colorado Springs and Grand Junction. Our tour starts in SLC next Wednesday night with a group dinner. Then, Jackson Hole, Tetons, 2 nights in Yellowstone, Sheridan, WY, Gillette, WY and end up in Rapid City for Mt...

Glad you were OK. It's infuriating, but could have been much worse had I not been paying attention!

Since I recently got the 427 Convertible back from the body shop after 6 months, I guess it was time for another mishap? Since Lori and the girls went to Vegas for a Back Street Boys concert, I decided the dog and I needed to head up to the lake for a couple of minor projects. No sooner did we...

Of those listed, I'd probably lean to the Accord. Have a Corvette buddy who has had one for many years, trouble free and it's a ball to drive he says!!

Congrats on the new gig!! Perseverance pays off!!

Very, very cool!!! But I shouldn’t be surprised!!

I have a set of Schott Accelerator wheels on my '60 restomod Corvette. Very happy with quality and their CoverLoc system works great!!

Thanks, Bob! I’m really lucky on many fronts. Lori broke down and cried in the ER when she saw those wreck photos. To this day, we hold hands whenever we traverse that section of highway, which is often as it’s on the way to our lake place. I was also very lucky with the Corvette/deer incident...

Such a cool build, Don, and you get the benefit of knowing you did the lions share of the work!! Great job!! Looking forward to future updates - she's a stunner!!!

That's a seriously nice lift. When I first looked at their independent side operating lifts, they were parking lifts only, so the bottom panel was solid and not removeable for vehicle service. I'm very happy with my double lift, other than having to move 2 cars to get one of the ones on the...

After first test drive, speedo was off by more that before changing dip switch settings. I guess I read my notes backward - at GPS of 60, the speedo was 50. So, back to massaging the dip switch settings. After another test drive session, I now have it within 1 MPH at 60 - close enough for me...
