You must maintain that routine to keep off the weight. If you are exercising or weight training, the extra muscle you build will help burn a few extra calories as well.

    When I can't sleep, I get up and stare at Joel's new avatar. Talk about burning a few extra calories!

    I bought her 25 years or so ago for under 10 large through Hemmings Motor News (pre-internet) from a guy in Costa Mesa Californa. I redid the breaks, tranny and put in a stainless steel exhaust. It's a "driver" no 100 point trailer queen. I had a choice at the time between the T-Bird and Jaguar XK-120 Drop Head. My boss at the time a sweet old cat from the Pacific Northwest said:

    "Sure the Jag is prettier... sex standing still... BUT with the Ford you'll know it'll run, first time every time!"

    Dana (God rest his soul) was absolutely right. I went with the Yellow Bird. Remember now, I picked this up BEFORE I got a kid, mortgage and all the other money pits of modern life and have managed somehow to hold on to her.

    I have a very similar (maybe just like it) Levi jacket I bought about 20 years ago. Got a lot more wear on it now, but it still fits--I think

    Edit Note: Oh yea, I like the yellow T-bird also. Looks like about a 1957? I friend of mine in high school had one that was red. I actually think it belonged to his Dad, but he claimed it as his. It was a real girl magnet.

    Nothing matters much and most things don't matter at all.
