With their help (and some of my friends locally that blog), I’ve been able to get a half way decent looking blog together I think in relatively short order. Still got work to do on it – but I really like how its all coming together.

Big thanks to my Buddies on my blogroll! They’ve helped me a ton in making the transition and have been very patient. One of them is helping to host a Wordcamp here in Louisville in December that I’m planning on attending – should be a really great place for me to meet up with people and pick up some pointers.

I am continuing to copy over my old material and adding some new stuff as I am able so you can read what your pal ole Lincoln has been up to – so be sure to check back every couple weeks and you should probably see some new material here for you to catch up on (If I don’t – be sure to remind me to keep you guys up to date, and I’ll get a post up about something thats going on with me.) Ciao for now!

I have always been a huge fan of power and speed when it comes to my cars I dream about. The way it feels when you push the accelerator pedal to the floor and the sensation of being pushed back in the seat at a force two times that of an jet airplane is exhilarating! It takes me back to my first car, a 1969 Camaro. My pop and I built it from the ground up. It was an awesome car. Everything was new on it. We built a 1970 Chevy LT-1 0.30 over to make it a 355 cubic inch. By the time we got done with it was pushing over 400 horsepower. It had black lacquer paint with black original interior. It was quit the envy of all my friends and the fastest car around and at my school. I used to race Ford Mustangs like it was my job. Every chance I got I hoped I could pull up to a stoplight and hoped the car next to me was wanting to race.

But as things go after years of ownership of this street rocket, I ended up selling it for $10,000 since I did not have any place to store it. Oddly enough, ended up using that money as a down payment on a new Ford F-150 since I needed it for my job. Good news is the fellow I sold my Camaro to said he’d sell it back to me if I wanted it back ever…it’s weighed on my mind for years and some day I plan on calling him on his offer.

I would go out on 30 dates in 30 days – and blog about each of the dates with photos, where we went, how it went, etc.

Some pros / cons to this obviously. Pros would be I think it would create an interesting perspective for future reference, and it could open up opportunities to meet new people and have some fun. Cons would be, particularly if the date went badly – would it potentially up either the person I went out with, or me to overtly harsh criticism and potentially end up with hurt feelings.

Tough call. On one hand, I think it could be a heck of a lot of fun. On the other, it could be a really embarrassing / awkward situation.

So, I’m looking for everyone’s opinion (friends, family, strangers, etc) – is this a good idea?

And before everyone asks: No, I didn’t get here in time for the Kentucky Derby. Its held the first weekend in May – so I’ll definitely make a point of catching it next year. (It really sounds like a fun time!)

Right now I’m getting settled in and am making good progress on figuring my way out around the town and what not – and I’m actually making some new friends along the way. We’ve already gone out a few times, and I have to say I’m really starting to like my new digs.

The downtown Louisville area has apparently been renovated and updated and is a great place to hang out on the weekends with friends. Anyway, gotta jet – will post an update once I get settled in.
