Can you tell I have a teen age son?

Good God I've turned into my Grandpa.

I feel old...

Hey, wait until you ARE the grandfather....at that point you'll make your comments and everyone around you will roll their eyes and say stuff that will make YOU roll YOUR eyes. There is justice. It comes from watching your kids raise their teenage kids....you're gonna enjoy that time, when it comes.

Yeah, been there and done that. Sorry if I seemed to come down on you. Burning the candle at both ends has a price to pay. For me, it was going to college at night, raising a 2-year old by myself, and working 40+ hours per week. Oh, throw in weekend drills and you got candles with four wicks!

I have every Classic Trucks Magazine since Sept 2001 and I can search them to see if I can find that article.

You're one up on me. My truck was supposed to have been done for the Hot Rod Power Tour, last May. It is in even more pieces now, than it was then.

Hmmm... you do seem to be on the Internet a lot, however. But to clarify my "overcommitted yourself" comment... if you're behind on your school assignment that was assigned so long ago, and you're scrambling for ideas on where to find the info you need, and you're telling everyone about your hectic life of working 2 jobs, etc., that may be a good working definition for "overcommitted."
