Good Morning all,
Cloudy with the promise of snow later today and tonight.
I spent last week in Scottsdale Arizona for the Barret-Jackson auto auction. Wow, lots of really nice cars. I wish I had the money to buy one or two. (68-72 Nova SS or a 70 Chevelle SS) As long as I'm wishing I'll take both of them. :laughing:
Other than that, the snow has been awesome this year and continues to be so.

37°F and cloudy this morning, going up to 45° today. Looks like we're getting back to more "normal-ish" temperatures around here this week.

Looks like the crackers will need to go till morning, when they will be crispy.
They are scored so the will break into 1" squares.

The crackers look better to me, as I am not really big on "greens".

That's 2 of our bunch that made it Barrett Jackson. I watched a bit of it on TV. Crazy how some of those cars cost now. I just tell my kids "Yep, rode in one of those too"...Not that they were watching...

Careful for those storms...before they head Eric's way.

I envy you who got to go drool at those car auctions. 1.98 million dollars for a Corvette L88 convertible. wow...
but honey, it's our retirement plan.
said the Edsel buyer...
217 Arizona collector car auction results with top 1 sales and analysis from Barrett-Jackson, RM Sotheby’s, Gooding & Co. and more

they say older air cooled Porsches have good appreciation value.
but no home runs like this Corvette.

could you send me one inch of your snow Cat Fever? no more now...

one of my best friend's father almost brought home that L88 new, but the wife said no because no a/c.
Wonder if it had a back seat, my friend and his motorhead brother got their hard working father to buy the most amazing cars.
They bought a Stage IV white firebird instead. Followed by a GTO, which I always thought at 335hp were a little slow, particularly with
an automatic. Another childhood friend had a bright red 442 convertible with a Hurst automatic. My three closest friends now, all of us high school buddies, all had hot cars in high school. I had to work to save for college, no fancy car for me.

My friend and I still chuckle, I coulda had an L88!

RA IV Firebird was a bad piece, very rare.

Their Trans Am was white with blue stripe, a real head turner

41 now, fog has lifted a bit. At lunch, it was so dark, everybody's car lights were on.

All my buddies who were car freaks in the 70's are still into it now. Somethings just grow on ya!!

Be safe!

My brother still has a 68 Olds 442, all original numbers matching. The inside still looks like new. It needs a paint job but thats it. He paid 800 bucks for it in 1981, from the original owner.

Here's the best I can do for your 1" of snow.
