Traveled up to Philly four times last October... went to one baseball game in each of the playoff series (including the World Series) and then once more for the parade (crazy, crazy day).

Cool. Are you a Philly sports fan ? I've been one all my life... born and raised over in Gettysburg.

Yeah, we went to game 3 of the World Series... the one that was delayed by rain and didn't end until around 1:30 am. Took an hour to get out of the parking lot. Didn't get home until almost 5 am. Worth every minute, though ! Had a BLAST. Took my Dad who has been a huge Phils fan since around 1950. He still talks about it every time I see him.
We get to about two regular season games every year, too. Next game is Father's Day vs the Orioles.
Maybe one of these years we'll go to a mutual game. I'll buy you a beer or other drink of your choice.
Ps.....

Excellent ! Yep, I'm a diehard Eagles fan, too and follow the Flyers pretty close, as well.

That's what life is all about!

Ok, i received cabinet today and installed it so here is the Pic!
Also yesterday I received 2 different color samples of the Racedeck flooring. I like it. I ordered the coin pattern but after looking at it I think I'll get the diamond plate pattern. The coin reminds me too much of Lego's. The booster fan for the ac/heat doesn't seem to put out much more cfm's but we will have to see if it makes a difference when it gets hot and the ac is on. Thats all for now.

Lookin' good !
And those coin tiles from Race Deck.... they do remind you of legos when you only look at one of them. But when you install them on an entire floor, it looks like an upscale garage floor mat. Doesn't remind you of legos at all.
But the diamond plate pattern is nice, too. What colors did you get ? Want to share your pattern with us now or going to hold us in suspense ?

You guys are going to have to wait.
The wife came up with the pattern but I'm still working on her for the funding. Now she wants to see it finished too but were going away on vacation in a couple weeks so maybe when we get back. That crummy stained concrete is making the place look bad.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. 
Hey, Ken... how about you and I start our own Auto Detailing Supply business so we can have a garage like that some day ?
You can be in charge of product development, procurement, marketing, and sales. I'll be in charge of organizing the company golf outings.

Look I don't check in a couple days and you guys have started a business without me!
Not any big plans but am leaving for Arizona on Tuesday for some R&R then I'll get back on the garage. So I guess I'm giving you another excuse with no progress. Last week was a wash and the grass is tall!
