Sherri and I had an opportunity to visit Orlando, Florida recently. It was a great trip and the first time we had traveled anywhere since 2015. Photos will be uploaded to the gallery soon, but I will post a couple hear as a teaser. We got the chance to visit Universal Theaters during Halloween Horrors nights, where I rode a roller coaster The Mummy, for the first time since before heart, Sherri rode a couple of others. We didn't get to due the Hulk due to a storm. It was still great fun and I highly recommend that people visit there if when they get a chance.

Here is an example of the great fun we have at the FTNRMC Freddy's Cruise In and Car Show. The president of the First Tennessee Regional Mustang Club is presenting me with a people's choice top 20 for the SVT Cobra.

This was a great Ford Mustang show. Here is a little video that was posted on the First Tennessee Regional Mustang Club YouTube page. The Cobra is around 3 minutes and 20 seconds. We are pulling into the show that morning.

The Pearce's New Ride:

Well, the Pearce's finally purchased a new ride. It is a 2017 Ford Mustang Premium Convertible with a few extra goodies. She sounds and runs great. We are going to call her Stinger.

Make sure to come out for the Freddy's/FTRMC Car Show June 30th at Freddy's Frozen Custanrd and Steakburgers in Johnson City, TN. This is to support a great cause and organization, Krusin for Kids. Last months show went to helping one of our Mustang club members with medical bills. All of these shows help charitable organizations or individuals in financial need. Please come out and participate or help by parking cars, handing out fliers, or in any way you can.

First Tennessee Regional Mustang Club

Northeast Tennessee Mustang Club

The marriage of Chris Clawson and Haley Lewis. I was only able to video part of the ceremony due to walking Haley down the isle. Allow me to present Mr. And Mrs. Clawson. Photos will be uploaded to the photo gallery.

A quick video of the car show sponsored by First Tennessee Regional Mustang Club. 

Received another top 20, placing 4th. Had a great day for a good cause.

The is Ruger's sister, Luna. She is called Luna due to having a very quirky demeanor. She is a "Lunatic" in many ways, but a very easy going female.

Not the best photo, but the best I have at the moment. I hope to get better photos tomorrow.

Sherri won tickets!!! It was a great weekend.

Here is another photo from Sadie's baby shower. There were so many friends and family there.

We had Sadie's baby shower this past weekend.

Check out Tanner on his new toy. He loves it. He doesn't have the coordination to ride it just yet, but we will work on it. He will learn in time. He is such a cute, loving little boy. We love him so much. Keep him in your prayers. Also, keep Haley in your prayers. Tanner's baby sister Sadie will be here soon. Please pray for a health, happy baby, and for a safe, healthy, and happy mamma.

After much time of having water draining problems, erosion, flooding, and septic tank issues, we are finally getting the back of the property cleaned up and leveled off. Many thanks to Bill Shoun for helping us out.

A quick video of many car clubs, shows, and rides we have attended.

Here is a video of our yearly Halloween setup.

We had a ride with the Northeast Tennessee Mustang Clun and the First Tennessee Regional Mustang Club to Shady Valley, Backbone Rock, Damascus, and Holston Dam this past summer. I was able to capture a very good shot of my car. We also grabbed a great shot of a few of the Mustangs participating in the ride.

Here is a photo of a recent new toy. It is a 2005 Harley Davidson Sportster 1200 Custom. A basic bike that does all I need. I have no plans for long rides yet, though Sherri is wanting to do longer rides. I mainly just wanted something to ride around the local mountains and lakes with. I will be getting Sherri one soon now that we have both taken the motorcycle safety class.

We recently ate at Paula Dean's fairly new restaurant at The Island in Pigeon Forge. It was great. Country cooking at its finest. They even offered Sherri some no meat accommodations and didn't charge for her meal.

Tanner's Birthday Party:

We recently got the family together to have Tanner's birthday party. It was great fun getting all of the family together, and Tanner had a blast. I believe everyone did. Here is a photo I grabbed of Tanner and mommy before the party started.

Cruise In:

Grabbed some video tonight at the cruise in. The video has Harold's 2006 Z06 427 Corvette and my 2003 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra convertible. I also walked through a bit of the cruise in to capture a few of the other vehicles. It was a beautiful night for a cruise in.

While on a work trip back in April 2015 we had the opportunity to drive from Allentown to Hershey and Philadelphia. You no what they say, "while in Rome, be a Roman" which led us to the middle of Philadelphia to get a sandwich.

While on a work excursion we had the opportunity to visit the famous Bourbon Street of New Orleans, Louisiana. We had fun, but I would recommend visiting many other places other than here.

Here is another video of our Bristol track laps back in 2016.

Pensacola Beach, Florida

While on a work excursion to Pace, Florida, we were able to stay at a hotel on Pensacola Beach at a lower price than anywhere else in the area, which was amazing. We were right on the beach, walking distance to good food such as 's and Hemingway's, and had one of the best views with direct access to the beach. It was an experience I won't forget and greatly appreciate the opporunity to have.Here is a brief video of the view.

The wife and I had dinner at Fatz Restaurant a while back, so I had a chance to park in front and get a decent picture.

I haven't had much time this year between work and rain capturing photos of the flowers. Here are a couple a photos from the yard.

The garage is slowly coming along thanks to the hard work of Sherri and Haley before Sherri and Tanner's surgeries. I have helped very little due to working so much lately. Many signs have been put up, and other great things continue. The addition of another Craftsman toolbox has helped tremendously in getting my mess of tools in order. I also finally got the tool tracking ordered for the walls, and caulking of the base completed. It will take another run of caulk, but much of the water that was coming in has been reduced. The tool tracking may require some changes of signage, but that is yet to be seen. More photos soon.

We recently hiked to Laurel Fork Falls, a trek we used to make often, but haven't since my heart surgery. My heart did great that day, but the rest of me was not so well. I was sore for two days afterwards. I was surprised by the erosion damage we encountered. I was also surprised by the many trail updates that have occurred since our last visit. The Appalachian Trail Society has done a great job in this area keeping the trail up to date. Here are a couple of photos. I will upload more to the gallery soon.
