sadly it was before digital cameras, so I can't find a picture, but I had a medium blue Nova, deluxe trim, sport wheels, 305 V8, sedan, this was my insurance

agent car and I couldn't be too wild. I moved back to New Hope from working at Travelers in Hartford CT and that was around 1978.
Bought the Nova from local Chevy dealer, special ordered it.
Clean, nice looking car. V8 had pitiful power back then, but at least sounded nice.
Had that for a couple of years, then settled into many years of Buick Lesabres and other cars big enough to haul clients to lunch.

I miss Toppop when I think of cars....Scaredy you have big shoes to fill on the car show beat. Keep up the good work.
Pretty sure we all love pics of old cars.

great pictures Wngsprd.

Nice pics wngsprd.

60 outside this AM. Hoping it dries up a lot before the rains move in over night. Really need to cut the back yards and pastures.

Shot the whole day with insurance paper work and quotes yesterday. And another kicker the claim check has to go through the mortgage company too. More bureaucracy at work. Looks also like we are going to have to pony up with some funds to get it all back together. Someone in the future will be happy it was done right and they will not have to worry about any roofs on this property for a generation or two. LOL.

Me, I need to stop the funds going out of the bank accounts. That city apartment we had a while back sure looks better and better. I could be on a beach somewhere right now. Sheesh.............

Anyway, the weekend is here and I need some food in the fridge. With the rain coming, doubt I will do much else today.

Hope all have a great weekend, and be safe in what you are doing.

Morning! 72 going to 85 today. That is a 15 degree reduction in the daily high after some much needed rain. I will be taking the MX5200 out for some much needed road maintenance today. Will start with the scraper box and go to the land plane if needed The washboard has gotten pretty bad over the summer months. This is a job the Terex used to do. Will see how the MX can do - it weighs significantly less than the Terex did. The Terex found a new home, returning 1/2 the output for the MX.
Nice cars. I miss the car shows pre-pandemic. Years ago I bought a new Mustang 5.0 GT premium. Amazing how much improved the modern Mustang is. More power, better handling, and comfort compared to the original Pony car.

Here's the fog that didn't post.View attachment 761790

Looks like massanutten in the background.

I almost took a drive up on skyline yesterday, but we started way too late for that.

Yesterday we were in the northern end of the WV county with the lot we like. It doesn’t have the views the south end has. We were down along the river. Pretty near Winchester.

I hope I can get day off from my new job in October for the train ride. Might have to quit the 2nd week. .

57° right now...high in the low 80's (that's been the predicted high for the last few days, but it actually never got above the mid to upper 70's...and that's fine with me).

Slept lousy last night. Up sometime between 0100 and 0200, couldn't get back to sleep to save my butt. So, finally got tired enough to doze off around 0400 or so. Woke a little after 0830...

Same plans as described earlier except no dump run today. I'll head out to get fuel in a bit... also stop at the bank.

Way too wet (dew) to think about chipping and mowing this morning... should be dry by 1100. As far as the chipping, I'll do what I can do... my side still gets a twinge from that fall I took a couple weeks ago. I feel it mostly when driving now.... not so sure about mowing today because of that since a ZTR has a pretty rough ride as most of you know. But I'll give it a try
