Yea...me too! I did that move from WA to MO at 66 1/2...finishing at 67. Took me 4 trips with my stuff. Then I went back and got my son 4 months later for ANOTHER move! I am STILL dealing with trying to get things organized since we haven't got the new house built yet. No way I would want to move at 70. UGH! I hit that this March.
I don't mind driving around the country and such...but no more moving!

Talking about moving 

This Lady here certainly is moving !


Coming to my town to a music festival in 3 weeks. I will probably get out my 57 CS from winter hibernation for that weekend. Weather is looking promising. Slowly warming up and haven't had snow or salted roads for quite some time. So this would really mean a very early cruising season start. Keep your fingers crossed or send over some good weather !

Early cruising? snow and high winds yesterday, 15* currently at 9am this morning. First major outdoor car show in Fort Worth less than a month away.
Actually, we've had some nice cruising weather. Super Bowl Sunday, I took the women to Russel's Truckstop, Just over the state line in New Mexico, for chicken fried steak lunch. 145 mile round trip. My wife didn't complain too much. It was a good day.

Rich, you really got it bad in Texas, because of the big wide open. hot in summer and super cold in winter.
our climate may be a little cooler overall, but it is more evenly spread over the seasons. We are living south of the 6000+ ft ALps, so we are somewhat safe from very cold arctic winds. And we are just 200 miles from the Adriatic Sea, so we often get humid and mild air from the south, which- unfortunately - works great with the cold Nov to March temperatures , i.e. snow ! I guess we AT are easily 1000 miles up north from you in TX.
It probably all boils down to that we have to take it like it is and make best use of good days.
For now I really can't complain. Sat will be over 50, maybe even 60!
I hope that there will be no snow and salt in March so I can take the 57CS out for the festival on March 8th/9th.

Hello Everyone, wanted to share a photo from a magazine I receive, hope it's ok. I hope all is well out there.

Of course it's ok....thanks for posting.

That would be fun!

Jeff, The Fords at Carlisle show is the best all Ford weekend swap meet and show. I don't remember the exact number of 57 at the last show but, I think it was in the 30's for the E-F-and D/F codes, all models of 57 fords including T-Birds came from all over the country. Also, Mr. Dean McCann the lead engineer on the F-codes was the guest speaker. Many 57's on the grounds all weekend long for a great weekend. John V 

Time for some sweet Country music.
Good ole Tammy Wynette, for yer all listening pleasure ! 


And this is fantastic imho. Californian Deke Dickerson, who is just a totally talented musician in all kinds of roots music like RocknRoll, Surf, Country, he just nailed this one. sounds a lot like 1960s Waylon Jennings.

Thanks G, that was great, I wasn't familiar with him at all. By any chance have you seen the documentary film The Pez Thief? I really enjoyed the history and it was done in a comical way. 

 
  My son just picked up this Fender amp combo. Mid-70's Bassman 100W. He says when he plays the guitar intro on Led Zeppelins Moby Dick he can rattle the windows in the house.   

   

Randy, it would be interesting to see what is inside. I worked at JBL for years and we built allot of the Fender 12"and 15" speakers. The ones we built had orange frames.

  I could ask him to pull the cover off for a photo.
