Still hanging in there - but traffic to some of my other sites is slowing down, which mean less advertising income.

Of all things, I decided to start a new website to sell fondue. Now I just need to get the distributor to get moving on shipping me some product so I can start selling it!

Sounds like you got your fingers into several things . Be carefull sticking them into a fondue pot , its hot. We have a local resturaunt called the Melting Pot . A three course meal is served with the raw items delivered to your table , along with a large fondue pot . You prepare your own meal from appitizer to dessert , and pay the the resturant for the privilege. It is (was ) doing quite well.

Still here..........
Have a 65' chevy truck for me and the boy to work on during my spare time. Just don't have much spare time. Plan on yanking the 292 & trans out, and putting in a 305 w/auto for starters. Maybe I'll post some pics.

It would be great to watch it come along. Post up some pics in the Customizing section so we can lob in comments from the peanut gallery!

The city of Dayton, Ohio is being hit hard by this economy. GM pulling out has made it a ghost town around here. The good news is, new car sales are way down, so aftermarket auto parts are in high demand right now. I have a LOT more DIY traffic than i can ever remember.
