My new car...

Not really.....I'm sure it would be OK. $60,000 for a gallon of paint???

Deep Thought of the Day: I guess we were all guilty, in a way. We all shot him, we all skinned him, and we all got a complimentary bumper sticker that said, "I helped skin Bob."

This is the 1936 Ford Coupe built for and owned by Allegheny Ludlum Steel. This is 1 of only 4 in existence and is the only one currently in running & in roadworthy condition. The car is in exceptional condition, with the interior and even the frame looking great.
All 4 cars each had over 200,000 miles on them before they removed them from service. These cars were built for Allegheny as promotional and marketing projects. The top salesmen each year were given the honor of being able to drive them for one year. The v-8 engine (max 85 hp) ran like a sewing machine and was surprisingly smooth and quite. I thought this was a much better looking automobile than the Ford Thunderbird that visited us last year.
FYI, the car was insured (we were told) for the trip to Louisville via covered trailer for 1.5 million dollars. We were also told that the dies were ruined by stamping the stainless car parts, making these the last of these cars ever produced.






More information of the history on these automobiles can be found at Allegheny Ludlum's website....

Yesterday I took a new Challenger out for a spin from Stew Hansons ....I put it through it's paces.....It had some nice speed and it should for having 375 ponies under the hood....The car just sat there a vibrated like a muscle car should....unfortunately the one I drove had an automatic transmission. Just within the last two weeks have they announced a manual for the cars.....I thoroughly tested the car ....I wasn't extremely happy with the corners.....my 3000 GT handles corners alot better and it's 14 years old....other than that it was nice.....Not sure about the look...It would depend on the package for it, the plain-jane ones...don't do much for me....still waiting on the Camero ....before making any type of decision...

Tommorrow...my Grandfather and his girlfriend are the king and queen for Log Cabin days in Indianola...so the boys and I will be up there for at least the parade.....stuff going on through Sunday....Antiques, crafts, flea market, food, parade, tours of historical buildings, children's games and contests, entertainment.

Have a great weekend....

Deep Thought of the Day: Everything in space is weightless, but would a really fat astronaut weigh just a little bit?

Weekend at Bernie's situation where 2 old guys in NY wheeled their dead friend & tried to cash his $355 Social Security check.

So damn hot in here…..Is that suppose to make us more productive??
Sedi and I went skating last night...the best workout so far I've had skating....there was anywhere betwen 5-20 skating...giving me plenty of room to actually work on my skating ability...long ways to go before this summer's hockey league.

FYI: DO NOT WEAR a dress shirt under a sweatshirt...otherwise you will be picking lint off forever....

NO SLEEP…and not for the right reasons…..dragging ….is this day over?

Schooled Sedi the first game of Shuffleboard down at Zimm’s…then he brought his game back and that was the end…..Then he took on Amy and wasn't very nice with her...as he continued to show who is the big deal in Shuffleboard.

Blacken Jamaican Jerk Chicken Salad is SASSY…down at Buzzard Billy’s.

Can't wait to see the blog Jona's doing for school.

Tata Motors rolls out $2,500 car

Deep Thought of the Day: Fear can sometimes be a useful emotion.
For instance, let's say you're an astronaut on the moon and you fear that your partner has been turned into Dracula. The next time he goes out for the moon pieces, wham!, you just slam the door behind him and blast off. He might call you on the radio and say he's not Dracula, but you just say, "Think again, bat man."
