So, today’s a bittersweet day. We’re here once again for the Goodfellow AFB Rec Camp Car Show, now called ‘The Ruckus at the Rec Camp,’ and once again, Horny Mike was invited to show up. We had a blast, he’s a cool guy, and it was a great time for everybody… except the Wing Commander wasn’t very impressed with Mike, and I don’t think will be inviting him back. So, that sucks.<\/p>\n

The really sucky part of the day is that my pal Jim Eimer is missing from the festivities. He lost his battle with sepsis in August, and now I’m pretty much sittin’ around this car show by myself that’s been one of our favorite annual events for the past 14 or 15 years. I miss Jim, and even though I’m surrounded by friends and even making new ones, it’s just not the same not having he and his Jeep parked in the next slot. Gonna miss ya, Man… but I’m still coming out every year as long as I can to keep the tradition going. Hopefully, we’ll get your Jeep healthy again to win some more awards in the future.<\/p>\n

For now though, here are a few shots of the Mustang from the day.<\/p>\n

This one was a cool guy who actually bought the awesome 1970 Boss 347 restomod (not a real Boss ‘anything,’ actually) that’s been seen around town for the past several years. Jim would’ve loved that car.<\/p>\n

Got a pic with Horny Mike as he was making his rounds.<\/p>\n
