I have started up a new place to waste time. :) Not meant to be competition for here, but more a companion if you will. I'm covering everything from 1946 up to 1990, especially street cars and drag cars. It's pretty basic for now, if it grows I'll upgrade to better stuff. It will be slow to...

Christmas is once again over, and this is about how I feel...

Got out Saturday and went to our local county show. Took a few pics of stuff I liked.

Bought and installed a new set of injectors in the Vette crossfire. Still can’t get one to fire. Not a lot of troubleshooting info out there on this ancient system, but I found someone say to swap the plugs from one injector to the other to see what happens. After I checked to make sure I had 12...

When we sold the Firebird last year, we decided one old ride was enough. More fun when we could ride together instead of taking two cars to cruise ins and such. But, she has been unhappy since we traded off her last Vette. I was pretty well over that car, disgusted I could never get it...

That's about the way it felt. Boxes full, had to hunt when I needed something that I didn't use regular. Every horizontal surface piled up. Got tired of looking at it, decided I had to do something. Been looking for a 52" Husky box, Home Depot didn't have any in stores close by. Could have...

Was in my 99 F150 last Friday. Stopped for about 15 minutes to get some power steering fluid for the wife’s Jeep, came back out, when I got in to start it, the brake pedal nearly hit the floor. Let off, one pump and it was back to normal. Went down the road a couple of miles through a red light...

Back in my Maverick days, I had a small Ford distributor cap with male terminals. I want to say it was for a AMC , but fit the Autolite/Motorcraft distributor that they bought from Ford as well as the Ford points distributor. Anybody by chance have the stock application or better yet, a part...

Sometimes I wonder why I even bother going to Tupelo to the Blue Suede Cruise. Every time I've went, I've had bad luck. A couple of years, had rain and thunderstorms. Drug part of the exhaust off the Maverick one year. Two years in a row, had problems with the motor home. The Corvette had...

What a mess I've got to clean up! I've been concerned about this tree for a few years now. It had been shedding limbs for a while, but they were starting to get bigger and bigger. What really concerned me though was the big rotten spot on the south facing side. Our bad weather usually comes...

Our 05 Expy is still a good vehicle, just getting on up there in age and mileage, around 225,000 on it now. Other than the tick it's had for as long as I can remember, it still runs fine. Every 4.6 and 5.4 I've seen has that tick, some say cam followers, some say it's the cam phasers, I don't...

We bought another new Samsung tv this year, this one for the kitchen where we spend a large amount of time. It, like the one we bought last year, is a so called smart tv. Samsung includes a bunch of streaming channels, mostly old tv programs and movies. I never paid much attention to it until...

Been wanting one of these for a while to manage my property. Have been looking for a while for a nice used one, didn't want to pay the outrageous prices for new. Was looking at Marketplace at one, couldn't go look at it until Sunday, when this one popped up the other night. Same as the other one...

I haven't been able to get on here since Saturday. Tried three different computers and tablets, nothing worked. Was having withdrawals, LOL! Don't know what was going on, glad it got fixed though! This was the only site I couldn't load. May have been my ISP, don't know...

Slowly moving to the next phase on my car, new glass and rubber. Was able to find a source for a new windshield gasket, and pretty sure they have the quarter window gaskets. But they don’t carry the window channel or fuzzies and wipes for the front windows. I’m thinking somebody makes universal...

It's getting time to start thinking about next years calendar, if anybody wants one. Only sold 8 last year, down from a high of 35 a few years back. I don't do this for profit, anything I make I use to buy my own calendars with. I enjoy doing them, but it's not worth the time and effort if...

Thinned my herd a little yesterday. Sold the Firebird.:( Kinda bittersweet, didn’t have to sell, but glad it’s gone in a way. Had a love/hate relationship with that car, loved the looks, hated the ride, never was comfortable. Don’t know if I’ll buy anything to replace it, it was hard to keep up...

Been doing the part time thing since I semi retired last year, two or three days a week. Went out on a trip last Wednesday, unloaded Thursday morning, started back home. Got about 5 miles from where I delivered, truck started acting like it was dragging up a little hill. Started slowing down for...

My old home built trailer was getting pretty ragged out. Needs a new floor again, a couple of tires are about gone, needs lights again. Been looking around for a little longer 18' or 20', found a few at good prices but always got beat out on them. This one popped up on Marketplace the other...

Few pics from a show I went to yesterday
