Strike Zero is a Hero!

I want to take a minute to give a shout out for Strike Zero. He really helped me out, and went way above and beyond.

Some you know I've been looking around Columbia SC. SZ met me for dinner last week, spent several hours talking about the area, but the offered to take me on a guided tour. We met again last night and he drove me all over the area, offering a great description of everything. Then he took me back to his house, showed off all his awesome projects and his man cave (which would make most of you drool). Then to top it off, he and Mrs SZ took me out to dinner. 7 hours worth of guided tour and solid comradery. Awesome.

I couldn't have asked for a better host and hostess!

He's a wealth of automotive knowledge (he knew details of my projects better than I do), and a genuinely interesting person. As GRM cool dudes go, SZ is at the top of the list!

Now, let's all push him to bring one of those awesome projects he's got sitting there to the Challenge, because the GRM world is just a better place with guys like this around!

Thanks, Strike Zero!! You're a Hero in my book (and give my thanks to Mrs Hero as well!)

Nice! Sounds like a great time.

That's awesome to hear. Thanks, StrikeZero.

More reasons why GRM is awesome.

He is a cool dude.

Nothing more I can say other than this.

Strike Zero is a good guy. We've only met a couple of times, but I got the "good vibe" right off the bat. Sorry I missed last week. Looks like things have settled down a bit for us. Let me know if you're back in Cola at some point or if I can help out in any way.

In reply to SVreX:

You're welcome!! It was our pleasure showing you around Cola!

In reply to secretariata:

Do Columbia folk realize there is no "Cola" in "Columbia"? That's the abbreviation for Pensacola!

I'll be back (in "Cola") on Monday. Looks like I will be there for a while (a few months?). If you'd like to get together that would be great, but I'm gonna dial back my "Get to know Cola" excursions until I firm up the offer from the company (which is apparently going to take a while).

Wait till its your turn in the barrel.

Oh, he's very popular, Ed. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wasteoids, dweebies, dickheads, they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude.

Are you sure? I worked for a guy who got all excited whenever his Coke came in from Columbia.
