Good morning!!!!

[toppop52]

We went to the Mt. Hermon Plow Days yesterday, men and women, draft animals and antique farm equipment from as far as Ohio. It was cold and windy, but Ellen’s dad had a bunch of antiques entered and the animals to pull them. Cool stuff, great live music, everything from plows to liquor stills. Met more of Ellen’s family, good solid country folk, even the ones that are nurses and such and living in the city. Large family.

Baby Gloria is a cutie.

My favorite British sports cars are the XKE, I almost bought a 72 V12, and the Austin Healy 3000 Sprint. I drove one of them when I lived in Vallejo, loved it!

Back in the house. Sharpened chain saw chains. Put one back on pole saw. Tried it out. Next thing I know tree trimming project is completed. Well not quite. Need to move all the limbs to pile that needs chipping.
Got heating pad on back.

I took my new subaru to AR and back last weekend. It got up to 33 mpg.

On my first son, i think i cut the cord. On the 2nd, i cut and tied it.

Church dinner went well. Men did all the cooking, setting up, clean up, and the Ladies got to eat first. One of the ladies suggested we do this every month, lol.

I went over to Ellen’s this morning to find out why her riding mower wouldn’t start, it seems it runs much better with the gas turned on! Imagine that. I felt so stupid I went ahead and mowed her yard. Then we unloaded a trailer load of firewood and stacked it. Came home and ate some red beans and rice, now I’m going start my own chores.

My first showroom new car was a 1962 Austin Healy Sprite; cost $2,200 new. I would have loved to have that Austin Healy 3000 that was sitting on the showroom floor, but at $4,000 it was way out of my price range.

Good morning to all! Wind, wind, and more wind! 50-60 mph gusts, started last night, gonna be all day. I am so sick of the wind. I just saw Arizona blow by...dirt blowing everywhere.

Had a great nights sleep but woke up this morning and could barely bend the knee. All swollen and now changing colors like a chameleon. Sometimes I wonder if "staying off" it, is in fact the better thing... Seemed that when I was pushing it, had better range of motion. Day one after surgery, thought 'this is great' , 'I'm fixed'! Now 3 days later, not thinking it is going to be as easy. I think I am just getting impatient....too many things to do..

Drew, good luck w/ the vehicle search / sale. I'm not envious. I hate dealing with the BS at car dealers.

Jay, love hearing you say 'out on a dog walk'... enjoy your new buddy.

Andrew, hope Gloria is doing good and gets through her umbilical escapade w/o any problems.

Prayers sent for all those in need. Have a relaxing, peaceful Sunday.

Prayers sent, Never had any thing like that so I don't know but sure pray it is much better soon. Ed

My oldest brother had an old Sprite and Bird, I don't think you, I or he could currently fit in one of those cars. Or if we got in,
we'd need a winch to get out. Very small cars, whiny transmissions but go carts to drive. Rough riding much?

Yeah, back then I was 75-80 lbs. lighter than I am now, and much more agile. I don't recall any transmission whine. I just got tired of it getting banged up, even when parked when I was at work. I made a couple of trips down to the Texas/Mexico border, and I made one non-stop trip from Dallas to Atlanta, GA. It wasn't bad then, but no way I'd want to do that now.

Passed my Ham Tech 35/35. Guess I can relax now. Both husband and wife Cottage tenants also passed.

We were allowed to take the General exam, no additional cost - guessed 19 of 35 - pretty much just luck.
