Thank you! Haven't ventured outside since Wednesday when I came home. So, the only cars I've seen ... well, the only one of importance, anyway, is my 1979 Caprice Classic ...

Good Sunday column, particularly the part of the 1936 Ford vs. new cars. I know I'm crazy, but ... I still prefer older cars. *shrugs* As for Jeremy & Top Gear ... I'll bite my tongue.

* Follow-up pacemaker replacement appointment is this Wednesday afternoon, April 1 (of all days…)! Still a bit sore in my left shoulder area; my feet pain & swelling has rejoined my left knee swelling & pain. Also this week, hope to have a reply about my request for Small Business Development assistance. Then, the following week … my endoscopy & colonoscopy are scheduled for Tuesday, April 7.

* Included a note about my pacemaker replacement (Wednesday, 03/25/2015) on my website, with this engine image: http://www.oldcarsstronghearts.com/2015/03/25/wednesday-ratio-10/ Adding to that: I was awake enough Wednesday evening to watch “CHiPs” & a couple new shows, but was in & out of sleep otherwise. Today (Thursday), I’ve rested & watched TV, including an hour private investigating in California, an hour sleuthing in Maine, an hour housekeeping in Pittsburgh PA, then back to California to patrol the highways & now NCAA March Madness. [if only road tripping were really THAT easy!] Have a list of things to do, but not ready to tackle much. My left shoulder area (pacemaker location) is still very sore. Luckily, my feet aren’t as swollen as they had been nor are they in pain, tho I suspect that will may change. My left knee is swollen & a bit achy, so no change there. As for model detailing, no matter the scale, that always fascinates me … partly because I don’t have the talent or patience for it. I’ll check in here & post as able.

Let's see. Tuesday ... saw a pair of mid-1990s Caprice Classics, along with a 2015 Colorado.... Wednesday ... slept on the way into Chicago for my pacemaker replacement ... & slept on the way home b/c I was still somewhat "sedated".

LOL! I have the same "issues" with taking pics "on the street" ... plus, these days, owners might take it the wrong way. *sighs* I've featured a few 1973-87 GM pickups & have more pics of a friend's pickup (similar color combo as the '79 you found) to feature on my website. My friend's is newer, tho ... early-mid 1980s, as I recall. The 1st vehicle I ever drove was a relative of those pickups ... a red/white 1979 Blazer.

I like that Cutlass in the background of that oddly-modified Cadillac......

* Bet many can identify with this: http://www.oldcarsstronghearts.com/2015/03/18/daily-dose-wake-up-wed-9/ With 4 open heart surgeries & 1 pacemaker replacement, I’ve a number of roadmaps. Some scars will be refreshed when I go in for another pacemaker replacement next Wednesday, 03/25/2015; unlike last time, hopefully this WILL be a simple outpatient procedure with no overnight hospital stay…! While watching NCAA’s March Madness on Thursday, I made some tweaks to my website & added a page for articles I’ve written: http://www.oldcarsstronghearts.com/my-articles/ Haven’t decided if I’m going to put all of my road trip pics there somehow or not.
