Last Post of the Day – Jimmy Buffett – The Pascagoula Run

Yeah, I’ve been gettin’ all political and serious again lately. I know it, but there’s times I just can’t shut out my conscience. It’s one of those things like when you see someone drop a $20 bill and you can either pick it up and spend some tax free dough or you can [...]

Picture(s) A Day – 7 August 2009

No going into the archives for pictures today  That’s right, I actually took some different pictures

I remember when these first came out – I was selling Chevys at the time.  They were and still are bargain rocket ships

YES!!!  IT FINALLY STARTED TO COOL DOWN

This was pretty much [...]

Car Rental – Just For Fun?

I can’t remember just where my train of thought derailed tonight, but it wandered off the track and into the territory of renting a car just for the pure fun of having control of that machine for a while
Looking back, I think one of the very few things I miss from my time [...]

Picture(s) A Day – 16 July 2009

Quite a fun and interesting day today  A one helicopter airshow, getting out of work early, and the acquisition of another fine firearm for my collection – such were the things that brought a smile to my face
Here’s the one helicopter airshow I spoke of.  I think this CH-47 Chinook belongs [...]

Picture A Day – 19 June 2009

No, Kath, I didn’t forget to take pictures today  There’s even one I took especially for you
I saw the same protesters as I featured yesterday setting up again on my way into work this morning.  I wonder how long they’ll keep this up?
No, I didn’t buy any guns  I [...]

Picture A Day – 17 June 2009

Sorry to say, but you don’t get Ansel Adams today
Back on 4 May 2009 I happened to notice a couple of Corvettes at this house.  I don’t know where they went to, but I certainly wouldn’t mind those or this black one

If I Only Had the $$$ – Cars

Yeah, I torture myself from time to time by looking at stuff I wish I could afford.  Sometimes it’s even realistically affordable
I found myself perusing Auto Trader Classics and ran across these beauties:
Yes, I want a VW Beetle convertible.  Why?  Because it’s a convertible and it’s less than $5000.  And it’s simple to [...]

Picture(s) A Day – 23 May 2009

My windshield wipers were literally falling apart and with the threat of possible thunderstorms looming I figured it was best to replace them sooner rather than later Oh sure, sounds easy enough, right? Nope. After much fussing and cursing, I went to the dealership and everyone was very helpful. [...]

Picture A Day – 4 May 2009

I was driving home yesterday when something caught my eye from the side
Of course I had to drive back and take a couple of quick pictures
From what I can tell, there’s a mid 1970s and a mid 1980s Corvette in the driveway and a Fiero Indy Pace Car out front. [...]

Picture(s) A Day – 21 February 2009 – Big Thanks to Ed Bozarth Nevada #1 Chevrolet

So lately my car has been practically screaming at me to change the oil. 4% oil life remaining. Every time I’d start the car it would ding at me and display CHANGE OIL SOON where the mileage would normally read. OK, I get it – time to change the oil [...]
