Topic: Always Remember, Too

During the last Chicago Cubs game ever broadcast on WGN radio, 09/28/2014, Pat Hughes (voice since 1996) reminisced & mentioned that, when saying goodbye, we tend to say we’ll see each other later or will keep in touch, but that rarely actually happens.  I somewhat succeeded, by road tripping 2002-2011, meeting many of you along the way.  I also tried to get people in this area together but stopped asking; ironically, I still want to ask if anyone wants to meet up….

I look through my pics of road trips, people, places, cars … & wonder where some, including those I thought would always be in my life, are today.

Next week, I say goodbye to friends of 13+ years; they’re moving to SC 10/10/2014.  It will mark the end of an era in multiple ways.  With them leaving, I have to figure out where I’ll consign my 1979 & 1989 Caprice Classics to sell (can’t really afford storage for the winter), where/how to put the ‘81mc in storage (lowest possible cost) & which junkyard to dump the unneeded & unwanted car parts … all while continuing the job search & starting the process of reviewing my stuff.  I’d ask for help, but….

Know that feeling of the walls closing in?  Yep, that’s where I’m at now!


“Life can take your dreams & turn them upside down; friends will talk about you when you're not around … People make you promises they'll never keep; soon you'll know why people say talk is cheap”

"I thought things couldn't get much worse, but guess what they did ... I can live on my prayers, 'cause I'm done playin' nice ... I get stronger with every step ... You push on me I'm going to push back harder, I got a whole lot more than a little bit left, so don't put dirt on my grave just yet"

“Life throws you curves, but you learn to swerve; me I swung & I missed & the next thing ya know I’m reminiscing’”

At least my OLD CARS, STRONG HEARTS facebook page & ‘OC,SH express’ group keep me smiling, talking old cars & sparking memories!


‘81mc is in Kentucky; finalizing plans to get my 1989 Caprice Classic Brougham elsewhere for winter, tho it’d be most helpful for it & my 1979 Caprice Classic to be sold ASAP.


Now, since all things must end, this is goodbye time.  If you want, keep in touch with me via OC,SH (link below)!

Cort. Here's some more advice - do with what you will.

Let go of the past - if you want work, go where the work is. To be blunt, beggars can't be choosers. With new places and new jobs come new friends and new memories. A rather bright lady, who saw her home, her country, her faith, and way of life destroyed by revolution, one opined:

"Achievement of your happiness is the only moral purpose of your life, and that happiness, not pain or mindless self-indulgence, is the proof of your moral integrity, since it is the proof and the result of your loyalty to the achievement of your values."

I sincerely wish you the best of luck.

Yes, the best of luck from me too.
Life has clearly not been kind of late, but  you know, there's ALWAYS hope, even if at the time it might seem like there isn't.
You never know what's around the corner and things happen when you least expect them.
And you have friends; many don't.
So all the very best with your searching and I hope you find.
It doesn't cost anything to stay on AutoPuzzles though so it would be a shame to give it up; there are those here who are thinking about you.

Cort, read and re-read this.  It summarizes my thoughts quite succinctly.

Looks like ol' Cort is hanging in there.
