60+ year old thread.

It's been a while since we were in Nevada but I do remember the it was a beautiful drive.

 

Morning all:

Priorities, which reminds me, time to get mine ready in between other must do spring projects, no hurry since the river is way high and walleye opens May 1st.

 

Yep,I remember.I thought that one was better.I didn't get why this one was such a big deal.The news will make anything a huge event.

 

as i well know, i have a couple of ponds over yonder that i feesch, every spring, i fill my cans & boat tank with ethanol free, but the place i pinned is in Owings, which is Southern Md which, i thought was your area ??

Good Morning Porch Pals & Sue! Day of rain and storms for us. Only 0.04" so far, and a break in radar. Which is fine, because I found a replacement podiatrist, and am off to see him in a few minutes.

 

morning gang

 

sixtys/wannabes/sungazers. Eclipse was pretty much of a bust here. Clouds rolled in about an hour before it began, and rolled out about an hour after it ended. I still grabbed a couple of shots by putting eclipse gazer glasses over the lens of my phone camera. It did get markedly colder for a while, but never really much darker. Just another cloudy day.

Eclipse beginning:


Eclipse ending:


I'm willing to part with these for 1/2 price!

 

Imagine what they will be worth in 20 years

 

Make sure they are in your will,,, just in case.

 

All joking aside, best 2 bucks I’ve spent in awhile. Had fun yesterday, sitting on the deck, sunshine, some Pink Floyd on.

 

You should have continued west to California then you could have paid $5.65 a gallon as I did this morning when I filled my wife’s Highlander. And if you look around you can find even higher prices. I remember “gas wars” of 50 plus years ago where gas stations competed for who could sell gas the cheapest. Things have changed. Now now in California they compete for who can charge the highest prices and the competition is fierce.
We take a road trip once a year to Dammeron Valley Ut. to visit friends for a little r&r. (Since we are retired every day is r&r)I’ve noticed on every trip gas prices get lower and lower the further east we go. In Utah prices are generally $1.50+ a gallon cheaper than California.
Have a great Tuesday all (and for those retired have a great Saturday).

 

I bought gas before we got home, in town, for $3.49.

 

Imagine the worth of these if @wdb become famous in that time span

 

I wonder if California Gov. Gavin Newsom has made a connection to this and other reasons 100,000 folks have left California during his tenure?

 

Evening all:

Found it, not the best pic., but sure brings back memories!

"TIMBERMAN"
I used to run this car in the 1/8 mile at a small local dragstrip it was in my class and I couldn't beat it, if I remember right he ran 7:21 and I could run 7:35.
The article said he was a legend at Pocono Drag Lodge which was a sanctioned NHRA strip, the car was a blueprinted SD 421 Pontiac that was strip only, figure I didn't do too bad against it with a street driven car that weighed a whole lot more.
This car and a blueprinted 427 strip only Ford were the only two cars in my class that could beat me, then there was that darn 426 Max Wedge which ran a different class and could beat all three of us for top stock!

 

Thankfully, there was a nice hole in the clouds for about 30 seconds.

I am happy to report that traffic was back to normal today.

Costco gas was $2.99 this morning, 3% back on Costco Card, so $2.90

 

evening boys

 

Good morning

 

Nice.
Someone racing their shit instead of just talking about it.
Well done.

 

Good Morning
