, in one year I signed contracts to get the ball rolling with new land, new house and new garage, sold three cars, bought four, entered cars at Ford Carlisle for the first time and even placed (amazing), organized the second annual Tiburon meet at the dealer with a 50% increase in turnout, drove 143 mph (230 Kph) in an Audi A6 on the 'ol AB, and enjoyed a nice pay hike. :crazy: The past 10 years would take too much time to list - wow.
Still looking for some land though :wtf:
I can't believe it was over seven years ago when I discovered Eric's site. Props to you man for bringing me in to realize I wasn't alone out there in Fox Aero Cat world. Seven years, time is picking up speed. Someone said that life is like a roll of toilet paper, the closer you get to the end, the faster it goes.
I'm very happy with what I've accomplished by this point in my life. I'm not stopping here though. I'm still setting new goals for the next 10 years.
My wife has a good party lined up for Saturday. I don't know a whole lot of details but I think a night out in a 20-passenger Hummer with a group of friends is in the picture :headbang:
Wow! Congrats!
Happy Birthday man.
Just remember this quote and it'll make everything better.
"Growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional."
Have a good one.
Your wheelchair is on order.......It's the same model my wife bought me....
Yeah...thanks for making me feel a hell of a lot older now, too, Karl. ;) BTW, in December of this year, it will be the 10 year anniversary of COOL CATS. We're all getting old way too quickly.
Well, if you all end up naked in a big pile, make sure you get some photos for us. :hick:
Have a great weekend bro, and congrats on passing a milestone! You'll enjoy your 30's, don't even worry about that.
Does this mean we'll be allowed to call him Hot Karl?
Happy Birthday Karl, It's funny to see how fast time is passing by...
Happy Bday! Be happy you have enough friends to fill a 20 passenger car with! I hope my 20s are that good :) .
Congrats man and happy B day, hell I only have 2 more years to go and I will be out of my 20's too. :( Man time flies.
30? *shock* I thought you were pushing 50? No offense. But I seriously thought you were one of the older guys here.
Anyhoos,
Happy B-day!!!!
:D :D :D :D
Thanks everyone!
Folks at work did a little something for me today which was real nice. Debbie framed two of my crayon drawings of my dad's 84 Cougar that I drew when I was 7-8 years old. I'll post pics later tonight (have to head out for a little while).
Yeah, Eric when I found your site, it was the yellow scheme. I found it late '99 when I lived in Iceland.
My 87 LS had about 150,000 miles on it 10 years ago and I hadn't even bought the '74 Mark IV yet. I didn't start using the Internet until '99 and one of the first things I searched for was Cougars which led to the CoolCats.net discovery.
I drew this sometime around 1984-85:

this is from around '85-86:

Hmm..yeah..def should of stuck to your day job lol jk. Congrats! (I'm 21 =:) )
And by the topic I thought you were selling your 20" bling-bling wheels...
Happy birthday...
Congrats!
I remember the day I turned 30. I don't remember much of anything after 11:00pm, or for the next two days for that matter, but everything is fairly clear up to then. :D
Hey, happy belated man!
If I have my act together half as much as you at 30, I'll be happy.
My mom did something similar with drawings at my high school graduation party. Since I studied art and was heading to college for graphic design, it was appropriate. She took a drawing I did of a gg-1 (train) around age 5-7, matted it and stuck it next to a gg-1 that I did as a project in high school.
Happy 30 Karl. Wow 30. That seems like such a long time ago.
Thanks everyone for the well wishes. I've been real busy hence the late response.
My birthday was cool. 20-pass hummer, dance clubs, high-dollar waterfront eating, comedy club where I felt like a co-star. Whole night was 12 hours long. There's more but it's too much to go into now but it was way cool.
congrads,,30 years young.:D
