Vintage RV & Motorhome restorations - "The GMC Coop"

You are here: Home / The Daily Pose / Woke up this morning and I got myself a beer……

November 25, 2022

Woke up this morning and I got myself a beer……

(well it was more like an energy drink but I just love what the lyrics say)……..Yes, I woke up this morning and got myself a beer……..the futures uncertain and the end is always near…….let it roll…….

Have you ever felt the struggles this dude has…….zoom in on the middle of this pic. They’ve done everything possible to keep something from growing but that guy found a small crack and is hanging on making his way thru life.

Scratching his way to the future clinging onto the side of a black concrete wall has sent out roots looking for nourishment. Actually living and trying to thrive even with all his challenges…….. I would call him a success!

I DID get up this morning but took a walk ……one big savior of mine was the taking me away from the anxiety of “black Friday” (this day) working in the consumer electronics industry. From being a part instigating the pyramid for Circuit City I “took my oars inland” trying to get as far away as I could from all the retail carnage. PTSD could have pertained here so it was important for me to get into something that could replace as the new object of my obsessions………. Meeting a GMC totally changed the direction of my life.

“Carefull for what you wish for” there’s no greenest pasture and trading “black Friday” for other stresses ……stress and anxiety is a part of life but how well you do with that challenge is like that little green plant clinging on to the side of that nasty wall.

Pretty heady stuff I know and you say “where the Heck is this going……am I in a rabbit hole?

No, it’s not about getting 2 plates of food at Thanksgiving………but it IS about who you have in your life to help you thru and what you do to help them. See I got it and got so much more when I learned that.

And your GMC can do that for you too. Use “mindfulness” to hold others and your coach up. This is rapidly becoming the emerging industry…….. I had always had belief in and THAT is want I want to thank all of you guys for. Yes, dreams are coming true now and “The Dreams Alive” is coming to pass more every week. I only hope the”takers” don’t take it from us.

I’ve found recently there are “takers” misrepresenting vehicles of all sort basically pulling on folks heart strings “painting lips on the pig” trying to sell GMC’s. Just goes to prove, “mean people suck” and they’re all around us. As our coach gains in popularity as it is will attract many looking to “cash in”. In their theory someone will loose but in all cases they will win. Win/loose these classic machines need to somehow rise above the “horse trader” leaches to grab onto?something they think they can make a buck by taking from you. Again, mean people suck” so trust (a essential human trait) but verify to keep everyone in the game.

Had a customer/friend who offered his coach. A buyer sent a $500 deposit, got a 1 way ticket to drive it cross country. Got to Floida and said I’ll give you 1/3 the price……WHAT……. that freak actually used the excitement of the owner finding a buyer and would be able to pass on his daughter…..that excitement turned to a rude interaction. Yes, the guy figured making the deposit would raise the excitement to where they would sell at any price. Yes, he lost his $500 but really depressed a long time GMC owner. We helped him sell it the next week for his very fair price.

If you are treated that way……that person sucks! Have the descency to allow the owner to end the chapter of his GMC experience……hey, isn’t that the way you would like to treat you? Remember that WILL happen to you one day!

I mean if you HAVE to build a wall, make it easy on the eyes……….work hard to make what you’re doing the best you can experience……

Think i’ll fix a friendly old chair………ahhhh, that’s better.

I hope Thanksgiving is working for you today……if not do something about that! Ranch Hands go wash up and bed down your horse…….theres more to life than GMC’s, you and I will go away but these Motorhomes will stay….tomorrow is taken care of………..

Tuesday is video day so we’ll do some more of this then. Thank you for your support, it’s all any of us have……

1950 Plymouth business coupe, 241 “Red Ram” Hemi, Torqueflight trans………and from there………
