Kansas Bob posted 7 things<\/a> on his blog. I’ve done these memes before too, but it’s been a while. So here are 7 unusual or less known things about me:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I like eggs over easy and I dip my toast in the gooey egg yolks. The gooey egg makes my wife nearly ill so I don’t eat ’em much.<\/li>\n
  2. I’m not a lover of fruit pies. I can appreciate a good apple or peach, but given the choice between that and chocolate pudding pie, I’ll take the chocolate every time.<\/li>\n
  3. When the family is together going someplace, 99% of the time I do the driving. I enjoy driving and don’t much like riding in the passenger seat.<\/li>\n
  4. Speaking of driving, I love to drive in bad weather. Rain, snow or fog, I don’t know why but I really enjoy it.<\/li>\n
  5. In HS I really loved the Hitchhiker’s Guide<\/a> series by Douglas Adams<\/a> (still do).<\/li>\n
  6. I drove the T’bird I currently own to the Homecoming dance in HS when my grandfather owned it.<\/li>\n
  7. I passed up two affordable project cars during my college years. Between HS & college I had a chance to buy a rough but complete ’75 Hurst Olds W-55 that could have been had for about $800 and during my freshman year I passed on a very rough ’72 Camaro Z-28 4-speed for $1,500. Both cars are pretty rare (1 of something like 1,200) and both needed a lot of work. I did the wise thing in turning them down but sometimes wish I would have been stupid and had some fun putting an interesting car together.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    How about you, what are your seven things? Blog ’em and let me know or leave a comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
