Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

I was more a three deuces guy, as in my '66 GTO.

please tell me you kept it in a shed somewhere and still have it...

It was funny in high school. My good friends, in a whopping class of 53, had a 66 Goat, but not tripower, another had
a 442 with ram air/W40? and another had a Nova sedan with a 396 in it. Very special order.
And me? A clapped out 56 Chevy wagon, no not a Belair..., handed down to me after going through two older brothers.
265 and a Powerglide. What a beater that thing was. I could never understand how my friends could afford all these expensive cars, until
I better understood my parent's complete disinterest in materialism. We were land rich and cash poor and that was a fine way to grow up.
Bought my first new car, a 1971 Toyota Corolla 1600 coupe in 1971, two weeks before I graduated college, with a four speed and a 110hp "hemi" engine.

Time to get going. Need to shower and carefully shave this mess of a neck and go pick up my honey at the hospital this afternoon.
Well, get driven there, this not driving is really a pain. Hoping to cheat a little in a couple of weeks and put the soft collar back on.
I worked on cleaning up the house yesterday and after an hour I was horizontal in bed wondering "what had I done". Slowly. Slowly.

Good friends came over yesterday and spent several hours weeding our garden. I can't wait to see what it looks like. We had a planting party and let's say some serious non gardeners helped out, so the rows are pretty funny to look at but who cares.
As we have talked about elsewhere in this forum, and will forever I'm sure, good friends are the best things in life.

Up a bit early this morning...but when a man's gotta pee, he's got to pee...

Geez Roy, only once? Let's talk in twenty years...

 

[farmgirl19]

daugen; I'm overjoyed to hear that your wife should come home today!

and daugen and toppop; I had some of those "Hot" cars too! Used to love to drag, any time I wasn't competing in rodeo, and sometimes, after the rodeo! Good days, that most of today's youth will never know, or understand. (My nickname had nothing to do with cars or carburetors though.)

 

[Buppies]

69 humid degrees this morning with heavy rain by this afternoon and tonight. Daugen you are truly blessed, happy for you wife is coming home. In the early 70s had a Ford Fairlane 1966 with a 390 , 4 spd hurst shifter. Lots of fun back in the day used to eat small block mustangs and Plymouths for breakfast. Really enjoyed talking to Sam yesterday. There are some great people here on TBN. Morning all

 

[MossflowerWoods]

Like Roy I got up at 0400 to check if I remembered to set coffee pot auto start... and to take a leak. Then I slept in until 0600 when I forced myself to get up...

My first car was a 69 Bonneville with 428 & Quadrajet... that thing was a land yacht... Trunk was big enough to hold a mini-cooper...

Those were the days...

Be well & God Bless.
David

 

[MossflowerWoods]

Drew,

Take your time and thoroughly enjoy bringing your beloved home today.

May God continue to Bless you, especially with healing for you and Nadene.

Be well,
David

I'm not going there....but if I could....

I'm not going to list the performance cars I went through from 1968-2002, but let's say at current market I could own Trump Towers.

 

[ronjhall]

Coffee pot and cup are empty. 56° with bright sun shine this morning. Heading to 72° with a brisk cool north breeze and lots of sun. Going to apply a a fresh coat of Fluid Film to underside of motorhome.
Good Morning All.

 

[Bird]

Ron, I sure wish we had that kind of weather.

 

[daugen]

My first car was a 69 Bonneville with 428 & Quadrajet... that thing was a land yacht... Trunk was big enough to hold a mini-cooper...

and the rear seat was big enough to....
On that romantic thought, have a lovely day.

 

[deerseeker001]

its looking like a nice summer day,sunny and 72 for a high,its 53 now was down to 40 over nite.

 

[Mousefield]

Cloudy with showers with hopefully a sunny break or two, high of 21C/70F.
Going to dig a small trench from the barn to the chicken coop for a water line.
Be nice not to have to carry buckets of water from the barn to the coop.

That's not a summer day. That's late fall/early winter.

75 degrees at wake-up. We're up to 81 right now. Going to mid 90s, perhaps 100. Chance of rain. Small chance, but still a chance.

Another night of rainshowers here. I slept in a bit this morning since the storm came in overnight and had enough thunder and lightning for two storms. At least it's keeping it cool with our maximum temperature today predicted to be 89 F. That's great for the middle of June.

I had hand-me-down cars until my senior year in high school when I paid $500 for a '58 Plymouth Fury. That car had less than 50k miles, but in those days 50k was a bunch. I kept that car until I got married. By then, it had a driver's door that only opened from the outside and no reverse in the transmission. I bought a brand new '68 Malibu Sport Coupe with the 275 HP 327 V8 and sold the Plymouth for $35. I kept the Malibu until I got money strapped during my first two years in the US Navy with a wife and a child on the way. I sold the Malibu and bought a 1964 VW Beetle. What a joke! That Bug cost me more to keep running than the payments were on the Malibu. I still wish I'd kept that car.

Yes Drew, working at Dairy Queen in high school, I bought a Fiat 128 Sport Coupe model. No A/C. It was just OK.

OTOH, I can't imagine anyone coming over to weed my garden. They must be very special friends. Hope they were able to save some of the strawberries.

I had the honor of my parents 56 Chevy, 9 passenger wagon when I got my license as a HS senior. The headlights and rocker panels had to be bondoed regularly. My1st new car I bought was a 65 Corvair Monza 2 months before I was drafted, upgraded to a new 70 GTO after getting out of the Army.
