[...] all of the lame excuses I could muster. It actually turned out to be a pretty decent post, so I continued it with my brother Steve. Momo Fali liked it so much she asked me to write one for her when she turns 23 in a few months [...]

Makes me wish I had a big brother! I am the eldest and just have little sisters so none of the brotherhood for me. (NukeDad) You didn't miss too much. They make you do things on dares that you would never do on your own. They also are adept at blaming you for their broken windows and snowballed delivery vans.

When it's my birthday, will you pretend to be my brother and write one of these for me? I love reading these stories! Happy birthday to your big bro! By the way, you two are lucky to be alive. (NukeDad) Sure, Momo; I'll write one for you. You're right, we were luckier than the rabbit, that's for sure. Momo Falis last blog post..Boo

Older brothers are great, aren't they? You must have a thousand stories to tell. Happy Birthday, Steve! By the way, Nuke - if you're ever out visiting in Seattle, keep in mind that Portland is only 180 miles or so - about an hour and a half away if you're in a 240Z. (NukeDad) Hour and a half? If we had the Z, we'd be there in an hour and twenty. toms last blog post..Michael's New Sister, part III

First let me say I am very honored to have a spot on your Blog NukeDad and now this day will be the best B-day ever…Thank You my Brother!!! It’s funny how each of us has those little childhood memories of people, places and events that so made us what we are today. NukeDad you are very right about the trips back and forth from Santa Fe. A walk down memory lane…my 240z was by and far the best car I ever had and holds the best memories for me to this day. Our speed on those trips if you remember was calculated solely by the tachometer because if you remember the speedometer did not work. Well it did for a short time when I first bought that car. I do remember one of my first drives down I-10 was to see what she was made of. For some reason I had stuck in my head that 3100 rpm was 81mph. Sooooo….that is what we used to travel back and forth on the tach. It was not until much later and quite a few tickets in New Mexico that I decided to get the speedometer fixed and 3100rpm was in-fact 121mph. It’s funny the car you found almost to a “T” looks like the one I had…great memory.

Leta…..if that celica could talk both me and you would never have made it to adulthood. We would probably still be grounded. That was the car that I learned from you how to drive. That was also the car that took me and you back and forth very early on to Santa Fe every week. Funniest part you have to admit was all the little pebbles…well better stop old family secret.

Thanks to all for the Birthday wishes…Oh Melisa thanks for one of my all time favorite cakes. It sure was goooood.

(NukeDad) I think the trip I’m talking about is what broke your speedometer. Melisa’s cake was good, wasn’t it? Happy Birthday, Bro.

Nice! Happy Birthday to Steve!

Nukedad: I think you should send him a carrot cake with a frosting bunny on top. Never mind, I’ll do it. (Geez, I have to do everything around here! hee hee)

Imaginary carrot cake is on its way to Steve in Seattle!!!

(NukeDad) It’s Imaginarily Delicious! You’re the best imaginary cook EVER, Melisa!

I think the three of us all have stories to tell about driving from Santa Fe, most have been told here. Out of all the vehicles involved in our escapades, I think the Celica could tell the most stories. That poor car was side swiped, run into another car head on (the inebriated driver accepted $3.00 to have his car fixed), involved in countless fender benders, hit from behind by a wealthy ELitist Pasoan who argued with the cop for fifteen minutes that the accident was my fault because I didnt get out of her way, all in all it was involved in 25 accidents. Number 25 was very unnerving because it involved our brother and 2 friends driving off the mountainside on a ski trip. Sitting and waiting to find out, is he ok? How badly is he hurt? I remember Dad leaving to drive the hundred miles to the hospital and wondering what was going through his mind. Later that day when Dad helped him through the door, I was relieved to know that a banged up knee and a couple of broken teeth were the extent of his injuries. Alas, the Celica didn’t fair as well. That was the day the cruiser died. Brother fine; cruiser dead….Thank you Lord for letting the events work out the way the did. Even though he was and still is a pain in the posterior at times, I still love having him around. Happy Birthday Little B…I Love You!!!

(NukeDad) I also remember the 1/4 acre sized Coors bumper sticker he had on the back window.

Thanks for sharing some great memories! Got me thinking about my sister…need to call her.
BTW, she’s the reason I learned to mow the lawn. Because she could. ’nuff said.

(NukeDad) Maybe she’ll come over and mow your yard for you?
