Spring Vacation
I went to Destin Florida for some Dutty Rock, fun, and sun.
Doug, Nick and I went for a quick fishing trip one morning and caught enough fish to stuff us for
the rest of the trip.

This is actually a photo of a baby dolphin and its
mother
But, then the bait I was getting ready to cast in my other hand flew in
front of the lens as I snapped the shot--
still, look at the baby :)

Heading further north, I went home to Tennessee and goofed around with Family
and friends. I also met my nephew Bo for the first time and went to his
dedication service with my whole family. That was also on Mom's birthday,
so we had a nice get together at the Jones' house. I hadn't seen my aunt
Frances, cousins Diana and Mark, and my second cousin Jen in ages so it was a
great time.

A few weeks before I came home, James began to work on my
restoring my "King of the Hill" 1990 ZR-1 Corvette. I have owned
it since they rolled it off the truck on July 23, 1990. Having driven it
all over the country back in the early 1990's, I left it garaged while I lived
in Park City. With a new paint job like from the factory, and a hodgepodge
of random parts: hoses, gaskets, wires, coils, and ONE CUSTOM CRAFTED BY
MY LITTLE BROTHER exhaust system later, I started taking it on small day trips
here and there around Tennessee. That was a great way to get to know the
old friend I had in that car, and a great way to see my home state again.
I have to admit I was lucky that it never broke down and left me stranded (LIKE
IT DID IN TEXAS YEARS AGO, but that is another story ;) Now the car
needs more TLC and a new stereo and lots of TLC. Oh yeah, I already said
that.
Here are some pictures of the car along its "road to recovery."
I soon will have plenty of photos of this bad boy, my "Exotic Rocket"
soon, all over the wonderful Western USA.
These photos were all taken in June, 2003.
