Title: Re: IN THE COLD!!! Post by: TexasTom on December 09, 2009, 21:21:00 pm OMG! ... It even snowed down here in Texas ... for about 10 minutes!
Y'all keep warm! So Doug, are those the Berg bros and Dad, along with the Godfather? What year? Very cool ... think I need to fire up my scanner ... Title: Re: IN THE COLD!!! Post by: deano on December 10, 2009, 00:37:02 am We're in shorts here.... (I had to do that, sorry)....
Title: Re: IN THE COLD!!! Post by: Rennsurfer on December 10, 2009, 01:14:22 am Yep... I wear short all year 'round. Thankfully, my company allows us to do that, long as they're navy blue Dickies (must match rest of the uniforms). After my third interview before getting hired, they asked if I had any questions. "Are work shorts allowed on the job?"
WIN. Title: Re: IN THE COLD!!! Post by: deano on December 10, 2009, 01:25:21 am I know what ya mean! Yep, looks like that snow cone machine is working over time again.... Title: Re: IN THE COLD!!! Post by: danny gabbard on December 10, 2009, 01:52:31 am Stuck on high !

Title: Re: IN THE COLD!!! Post by: kingsburgphil on January 04, 2010, 07:07:56 am That's fine for you family members, but pity the customer/kid (me) who sometimes questioned the "gospel according to Gene".
A 10 minute dissertation (ass chewing) soon followed, after which I would cut a check and promise myself not to repeat that mistake. :D God I miss that! And I hope I never lose those memories. Hey! Anyone remember Genes birthday party with the Tiger and the lap dancer? :D Title: Re: IN THE COLD!!!

Title: Re: IN THE COLD!!! Post by: kingsburgphil on January 09, 2010, 02:04:53 am Doug, my comments were meant to express my respect for your dad. I, as a punk kid would ask stupid questions and Gene would take the time to explain to me
how I was wrong and why. If he got excited in the process, I deserved it, then as now I treasure the experience. Gene has always been a role model for me, something I reserve for few people. In my opinion he probably forgot more about hot VW's than most of us will ever know. If my post was vague or open to misinterpretation that would be my fault, for which I apologize. I will try to find the happy medium between short hand and boring monologues from now on. Now back to the birthday party! (50th?) There were at least a hundred people in attendance, I can't be the only person who remembers that day ;D Title: Re: IN THE COLD!!! Post by: danny gabbard on January 10, 2010, 05:30:27 am HEY !

Pretty rare parental actions, but they were the "RIGHT CALL". You guys do amazing things with minds wide open to what's possible, even if it's NOT. ;) The freedom of doing/trying is great. How many ideas are scratched because it doesn't Look or Sound good enough on paper, I've had my share. "What would you be if you didn't even TRY, You have to TRY ..."
