Some OT: First place in a class in a car show

Just a bit of OT here that I thought I'd brag about, I'm rather proud that my car got first place in it's class in a car show here locally.

We have a local car show for Pontiac that runs every year called the All Pontiac Show and Shine. This is the first year I've put my car in (in any show for that matter..) and I wasn't sure how it would all turn out but it seems quite a few people thought my car rather nice and voted it into the #1 spot for the class. I own a 1988 Pontiac Fiero GT which is pretty much in mint and stock condition other than the leather seats I put in. Here's a quick pic just in case you're not aware of what these things look like:

Neato :) This has a bit more meaning to me than normal because the car was in a minor hit and run a month ago which made me have to replace the entire door! Without the help of a few friends and the encouragement of the car club I belong to, I don't think I would have bothered to get it ready in time to get it into the show. A big huge public thanks to all involved! There is no price you can put on solid friends that come through for the pure reason of making sure things go well. Makes me proud.

On another minor proud note I'm a bit of a gardener and have a large vegetable/fruit plant patch in my yard. This is from a recent harvest!

Those strawberries are 2 bowls of an already large count of 8 now.. I have no idea why the strawberry patch is putting out so many strawberries, but I can assure you that myself and pretty much every one of my friends are enjoying them :) Absolutely delicious and don't even compare to the crap we get from California that are picked far too early and left out to ripen in our local grocery stores.

Little bit of OT there with a couple of my hobbies (it's not all work with FMS around here), thanks for reading.
