Pictures of the Week

[other dog]

Wow, I haven't done "Pictures of the Week" for almost 2 munts. We went to a little small car show, or cruise-in, or something, in the big green International that doesn't run Sunday afternoon. I was actually surprised at how many people looked at it and commented about how good it looked. Not one person said it was an ugly looking piece of crap. Not that I heard anyway, and most were impressed when I told them the paint was "Rust-oleum spray paint from the Walmart store".

They didn't have a lot of vehicles there, but the ones that were there were very nice. 

This is Roger and Judy Morris' Camaro. He used that car strictly for drag racing for a long time, trailering it to the track. He's got a little age on him now, and most of the local drag strips have closed anyway, so they put a "street" engine in the car, or "streetabilized" the race engine, I don't know. I'm sure it still has more than enough "get up and go" though. Anyway they made it more drivable and completely street legal again.

A '68 or '69 Chevelle- I never could tell the difference, I think it's something about the marker lights.

A big green International truck-

A couple more trucks-

...and a car.

And here's a girl in a boat.

Great, the Zinahorn came yesterday- i'm gonna go put it on now.

IT looks like my polishing girl did a good job on those cars and trucks

She really gets right into her work

Glad you had a good day out

I see that "green crocodyle" started doing his job for you.

Hope you ment "that doesn't run Sunday afternoon" about its previouse activities and it didn't make any troubles to you getting back home from the show.

Nice looking yellow Camaro. There's one for sale locally at the time, sure with some common engine but I didn't like its look seeing at the front. Now the side view is very attractive and truely "muscle". 

Where is that small handy horn supposed to be fitted at?

I put it right there-

The Zinahorn gives the final touch to the Binder!!! I always had fun taking one of the Macks to a cruise in or car show. Lots of people were always interested.

The one in your picture is a '69. Below is my mom's '68 back in the day. They sold it about 3 months before I was ready to buy a car. Front bumper & parking lights, tail lights, side marker lights & such as that are different.

We drove the big green truck that runs now to the Walmart store again today.

I saw a big red truck hauling a big green machine too.

Then we went to the Home Depot store in Lynchburg to pick up some sheetrock for my sister in law. I did a great job of securing it, eh?

[mrsmackpaul]

Reminds me of the good old "cross your heart bra" of decades ago

Big red truck is a flash looking jigger 

Dunno about that piece of green crap on the back

Im a IH man myself 

Is the big green truck going good now ?

I haven't driven it but once since we went to the Walmart store, and that was just "around the loop" to try to get Roman used to it. He did pretty good, and the truck was still running good.

Been raining pretty much all week, and it's supposed to rain the rest of the week too. We were going to the antique truck show in Winchester this weekend, but now we're undecided. We had a motel room reserved already and we only have until this evening to cancel, so I don't know what we're gonna do yet. 

I got a carburetor return spring for the big green International that runs now but I haven't put it on yet. I fixed the driver side spotlight that quit working. I ran another wire to it from where the right side spotlight was connected to the fuse box, and put an inline fuse in both of them.

Oh, one more small thing- firefly guy hooked up the high speed interweb that we'd been waiting for since we've been here, so I decided to renew my old photo-chopper program 😁

I just looked at the weather forecast for Winchester and it ain't lookin' good.

[Brocky]

That tropical storm that is supposed to hit us Thursday Night will probably be up your way by Friday Night???? Unless it swings West???

Were you going to take the big green truck up the back roads????

If I drove it i'd go up 15 to Culpeper, 29 to Warrenton, 17 to 50 to Winchester. We used to run that way all the time, back when the speed limit was 55 everywhere, not too much traffic, 17 wasn't restricted, and 29 didn't have a stoplight every mile. But even if we do decide to go i'm not gonna drive the International up there. The only windshield wipers i've got is Rain-X.

I was sitting here minding my own binness drinking coffee one morning a week ago. Heard the school bus go by about 7:15, as usual. I let the dogs out for their post meal poops and when I went out on the back porch I heard a backup beeper just down the road. I watched until I could see, and it was the bus backing up the road. It turned around in our biggerized driveway and went back the way it came. So I got in the pickup and rode down the road to see if there was a particular reason that the bus had backed up and turned around. And I saw this- I had already started cutting on it when I remembered that I should take pictures for evidence.

I thought sure the school bus driver had radioed the situation in to headquarters, and a crew was rushing to the scene at that moment. But when I was outside around 10 o'clock I saw a car backing up. So I rode down to investigate again, it was only about a quarter of a mile or so down the road. This time I put gas and oil in the chainsaw and took it with me, thinking surely somebody had removed that tree by then, but just in case...

and sure enough, the tree was still there, hadn't been touched. So I proceded to cut it up enough to get it out of the road.

Unfortunately, it had a big poison oak vine growing up it. All the greenery on the tree you see there is poison oak. And it doesn't even usually bother me unless I pretty much just rub it on myself, but I had to get right up in it to cut the tree. With short pants on, no gloves, like an idiot.

So yeah, I broke out in several places.

So now it's itching like crazy. I told my sister I was putting calamine lotion on it and said "oh that crap ain't no good, you need some of that $18 a tube stuff called tecnu". So Zina got me a tube of that Tecnu, for $18. It might work if you used it first thing, but I didn't even know the poison oak had gotten me for a couple of days. Anyway, it didn't seem to help much, so I went back to putting calamine lotion on it. But I think that was extra powerful poison oak on that tree too, that vine was as big as your wrist down near the bottom of the tree.

No, but it does look slightly better now than it did. No rain tomorrow, just cloudy, but there's a chance all day on Friday. Then nothing Saturday between 10am and 5pm.
