    When the event wraps up at the end of September I will post the links to my Smugmug galleries so anyone interested can view all of the murals. Trust me, I'm posting the best ones.

    ZZ Top opened the set with Under Pressure and Elwood Francis was playing a 17-string bass. He was better than just alright or good. On a side note, Billy Gibbons is truly one of the best guitarist I have ever seen. He was hitting bass notes on the D string with his thumb. He also barred the e, a, and d strings with his thumb more than once.

    Good morning. @BkerChuck There are Baltimore Neighborhoods that I do not drive through. The murals are amazing. TY for the picks! @Oldie2007 TY for the picks. Really liked seeing the Skylark GS.

    Hope everyone has some fun activity planned for today. We had a burger cook out yesterday with corn on the cob. I also made some potato salad. Today is finishing up with the Holly tree trimming on the side of the home then off to Skippers Pier for music and an early dinner. I think my youngest sister will be joining us.

    :pccoffee: Good Morning & Happy Labor Day, Porch Pals & Sue! Have plenty of putz to labor on, but not going to try to overdo it! For some reason, my brain keeps thinking I have to finish everything before the weekend's over! Heck, it's never over! Glad y'all enjoy the car shows.

    Thanks Colonel. I had a thought to go back to your test results and take another look. I forgot how many body part words were there! Don't think that's me. It's annoying for sure, but it's not regular. I've mentioned it to the various docs, but my descriptions aren't good enough to get any specific idea - any it's never bothering me when I see them!

    Since retirement, 3 day weekends don't have the wow factor like they used to.o_O

    Damn hope it doesn't get to costly. At least it's not one of your cars.

    Nope this was a freebie..

    Acorns locked up the drive/engine/starter.
    Ate the coil and wiring.
    Got the drive moving today and the controls freed up.
    Will order a coil and yank the motor apart. Then see if it runs the systems correctly.

    Hell, since retirement most of the time I don’t even know what day it is. Weekend, week day, holiday, they’re all the same.

    Evening all:

    Interesting read there @TacoGlenn, the first record of our family was when William Craig moved from Scotland to Ireland to escape the persecution of the Presbyterians by the same King James I, then from there all of his children immigrated to America, sounds like Mr. Wightman should have done the same! :rolleyes:

    Hummm, wondering, does any insurance cover mouse damage to a snowblower, lawnmower, outboards, car wiring, etc., never heard anyone really mention it! :notsure:
