Good questions. To start with: You are correct that I have a wife named Paula and two dogs (Sheila and Curby). Paula and I have been married for 18 years come this May but dated for 4 years prior. Yes, my "stash" has been as big as in the picture, in the past, but I keep it about half that these days. the only detail you don't know about me is that I'm a street roder. I'm currently building a 1923 T bucket roadster with a 1950 Merc flathead V8. I drive a tricked out 1990 Toyota Corolla Wagon. In days gome by I had a totally flamed out, yellow VW, a convertable 58 VW bus, a pro-street (mild) Lamans convertable, and a 3/4 race 54 Ford. My brother and I built rods for street and show back in the 60's. Sonny (my brother) took 3rd place at the 1965 Oakland Roadster Show with an Acqua-metalflaked, Ventura Slam, and an honorable mention a few years later with a flamed, Harley trike. Our earliest rod was a chopped, and channeled 1932 Ford 5 window with a 1/2 race Olds. It was on the street, and bad as hell, but we never finished it to show condition. So, you ask, "What else am I considering, besides managing a RS store?" Okay, I've considered setting up several BBS's for various purposes, having a little computer shop, teaching online internationally, developing multi-media, doing journalistic stuff, writing how-to books, running other club-like activities, etc., and generally doing nothing important for the rest of my life. Paula and I will be moving out of here within the next few years. However, with all the changes, I see Club 100 hanging in there for years to come, even if only online--when the sales drop off to zip point stuff and I'm forced to get a real job... yeah, like don't hold your breath. Me and working for others just don't get along! So, ahhhmm... what's going on in Fremont, NE? What are you into? -Rick-
