I know most of you don't know me but there are a few of you who do so I though I would share a few highlights of my day. Today is thanksgiving Monday up here in Canada and I got to spend the weekend with my wife and two boys. I feel pretty blessed with my life right now. My two young boys  (2.5 and 4.5) amaze me every day. My oldest asked me to go into the shop today and have a talk. He said he is ready to build a race  cart and started picking up tool. It was followed up by a question if home depot was open cause we are going to need parts haha. About five minutes later my youngest came in the shop and climbed right into the side by side (no key in it ) and started making engine spunds. These little guys crack me up. It really makes me feel special for everything I have worked hard for in life. I am still young at 34 yr old, my beautiful wife made the most amazing dinner as always. As I'm sitting here thinking about the great weekend i had with my loved ones it takes away the guilt of not working on the cuda in the garage....that my son always tells me he will be able to drive before it's done.! Just thought I would share a few events from me weekend.  I hope everyone out there is doing well . feel free to post your weekend fun or life events.

Hey Pete,

Sounds like a pretty awesome day man.  Both my boys (5&7) have developed an obsession with jeep wranglers with "monster truck tires"  :haha:  makes me smile every time they point one out they like.  I can't wait to land a cuda to get them around muscle cars again, my oldest was only 4.5 when I sold the challenger, but he still recognizes challengers as "daddy's race car" lol. Any day with the boys is a good day eh Pete?  Good to hear from you man, I'll shoot you a text so we can catch up.
Looking for the right 70 Cuda project!

Thanks Scott.  Every day this week has a came up with ideas for the race cart haha. He also asked if we could say what we are thankful for everyday at dinner. He seemed to really enjoy it. About 20 min after that the younger boy hit the older boy with a toy fishing rod and split is lip open lol. always a interesting time with two young boys . I see my shop space being taken up more in the near future .

I think shop bonding goes a lot deeper than people realize. Busy hands stay out of trouble and projects motivate youngsters into wanting a good paying career to finance them as well.

Great reading this....there are people who have what you have but sadly enough don't realize it, can't see it or always look at the negative. Keep on enjoying it, my daughter is 12 and it has been a great ride thus far.
