I’ll be watching the Rose Bowl Parade this year. My great nephew’s band is marching in it. Proud of this young man, and his many accomplishments!!

After having auto insurance through The Hartford for the last 25 years, when I purchased this home, I went to them for home owners insurance. Their rate was pretty much inline with the others I checked with, and I was told by adding a home owners policy, that would get me a discount on my auto...

We are going to do a haunted trail on my land, as a fundraiser for my grandson's baseball team. They are trying to raise money for a trip to Destin, Florida next June, to play in the little league tournament. I have 5 acres, about 2/3 is heavy woods. We have made a path through it already. I...

This was my truck. 2018 Ram Big Horn. Very nice, with only 5,700 miles. Tree fell on it. It went to copar in Springfield. Any rebuilders interested in a nice truck, this would be a good one. As the truck was originally going to be repaired, the body shop already has it disassembled, and and most...

Any of you other old folks have, partake of something like this. This is pretty new to our little community. I’ve been having lunch there pretty regular for the last month or so. $3.50 for us old folks. (Anyone over 60). Has been very good, and I can’t hardly fix a sandwich at home for that...

Step bars came in today for my new truck. Easiest installation you could have. They wanted them shipped to a business, so I had them sent to my buddies body shop. I went to pick them up, and he had me pull in and put it on the lift. 2 of his guys jumped on it, and had them on in about 30 minutes.

Going truck shopping. I'm 65, and probably will buy the last new vehicle I will need. (My current truck is a '95, I buy them, and keep them) They have black Friday deals on all makes, and I am no longer brand specific, even though I've always had Ford trucks. What I'm looking for is 4WD...

Passed a Charger yesterday. Had stripes across the hood, and down the side, with call outs on the rear quarter, BOPAR. What is that? never saw it before.

It was a 48 year journey, but I turned 65 last month, and officially retired Monday. When ,my grandson's started asking Mommy when Papaw was going to retire, so I would have more time for them, that was all it took. They want to fish, so I bought a boat, and I'm going to start on their dirt bike...

Just picked this up from a customer. Older gentleman that bought it new. 1986 Olds Cutlass Salon. 109,000 miles, and clean as a pin.

My new, (son's old) toy. My son bought this new. Pretty sure it's an '02. He's been talking about selling it for awhile, but told me a couple weeks ago he was trading for another vehicle, and really needed to sell it. He said he wanted $1,000 for it, so I just went to the bank and got him cash...

The top picture is of my uncle Bob Metz (left) and George Barris, with the Rod and Custom Dream Truck. They, with a few other customizers built this truck for Rod and Custom magazine about mid 1950's. The bottom picture, is the Danbury Mint replica I bought on ebay. I've been trying to find one...

I see there are 8 other members, besides me celebrating birthdays today. To you all, Happy Birthday!!!

Rani will be jealous. Picked up this Craftsman toolbox today. Looks like new. Full of tools. Mostly cheap stuff, but some Craftsman wrenches, sockets, and screwdriver's.

This pulled up beside me at a stoplight in Springfield, Mo. Long time since Ive seen a Rampage. Looked in pretty good shape too.

I just acquired an old Homelite EH 2500 generator. It's old enough, the gas tank sticker says not to use "gasohol". Looks almost new. 5 horse Briggs starts and runs fine. It didn't produce any power, so I flashed it using a drill. Drill runs fine on it. I plugged in the shop lights, no lights...

Here lately, almost every time I walk into our Academy Sports store, (Springfield, Mo.) I've found .22 Ammo. I've bought CCI, and Winchester. Good stuff, and not overpriced. They do limit you to 2 boxes. Maybe it's starting to loosen up some.

Guess I'm getting cranky in my old age. Getting tired of working on this thing. 70 degrees here today, so after all this cold and bad weather, I think it's time to fire Old Yeller up and cruise it around for awhile. Been sitting for about 3 months, so of coarse, the battery is down. No problem...

Saw this Formula S Barracuda sitting in a parking lot, in Springfield, Mo. today. Couldn't resist stopping and getting a couple pics. Super slick up close.
