Pop's Garage: Vacations

Welcome to Pop's Garage!

Pop's Garage, not a real place, so don't look for it in the Yellow Pages, lol. Actually, my wife has called me "Poppa" since before we got married, and I thought it would be a good name for a garage if I were to ever open one. So I'm using it here.

On to the purpose of this blog. I love pretty much anything to do with cars. Mostly old muscle cars, classic trucks, mini trucks, diesel trucks, hot rods and some sport compacts. Some times, I either get to working on a project, or have ideas for one and I like to share the info with others. There are also times I am working on a car for someone and I need to complain about the engineers bad ideas, or rave about the good ones. So this is my place to do that.

A little background on me and my automotive experience. I have been driving since 1992, when I turned 16. I have worked in the automotive industry in some way since 1994, off and on, either selling parts, delivering parts, installing parts or making parts. I have been in to building custom cars for just as long. I have built about 10 cars of my own and helped my friends on dozens more in the past. I have been in 5 car clubs since I was 16, and president of 3 of those 5. The club names were Syndicate (Dayton, OH), Furious Stylez (president), Crossroads Customs, 0-60 of Dayton (President), and Positive Perception (President, current club my wife and I have been trying to start since '08).

So that's all about me. Later I'll post about some past, present and future projects. C-ya!

We're back!

We have made it back home safely. Just barely anyway. Bad storms from NC to WV made the return home from Myrtle Beach a little crazy, especially going over the mountains.

The rest of our vacation was great! The weather was perfect, 80's and sun most days. We spent a lot of time by the pool getting as much sun as we could before returning to gloomy old Ohio. It was a shock to the system coming from 80's in SC to 50's in OH.

Anyhow, we are back and I plan to get some informative posts going soon.

So, until the next post, God Bless, keep the rubber side down, and get to wrenchin'! I hope my posts can be an inspiration to all who read them. John, "Pop"

Getting Ready For Our Trip

In about 21 hours from now (7:15am) we will be on our way to Florida to visit family and on the 3rd head up to Myrtle Beach for 2 weeks. We can hardly wait! We've wanted to get on our way weeks ago. Today I have to get the van packed up. Kinda wish I could have done it yesterday, but Ash had a ton of laundry to do and I had to take Charlie to the vet for shots and a check-up. Packing has new challenges now with Cameron added to the family, with more clothes and toys, a double stroller, plus her being in a seat we used to have folded away for more room. But I'll get it figured out.

Less than 24 hours!
