Morning coffee

Saw one of his creations when we were at the pavilion cruise two years ago. They are amazing. I regret not having hunted him up to introduce myself. Won't make that mistake if I get another chance.

I did see one (a '54 Chevy?) at the Pavilion on my second trip there...about 4 years ago. I never got to talk to the man, but I did talk to his close friend for quite a while. His friend was building a mini also. His museum /home is not too far from Deseret Valley Auto Parts in Casa Grande. Haven't been there yet, but have been thru Maricopa a few times.
Funny this came up today...my wife just told me she was thinking about pHOENIX FOR tHANKSGIVING. OOPS.  unoops.

Speaking of Phoenix (we sort of were, weren't we?)...My wife wanted to make a quicker than normal trip to Phoenix for thanksgiving so she'd only have to take a few days off beyond what she has coming that week anyways. I got looking at Phoenix happenings...bummer...that would be the perfect week to take a longer than normal trip to Phoenix. We've never been there two weekends in a row, but the weekend before Thanksgiving is the Goodguys show, and the weekend after is the BIG swap meet at the fairgrounds put on by the guys that do the Pomona swap meet. Hmmm.

I saw gas at one station in Amarillo Friday at 1.58, or 1.48 with their gas card. Most places are around 1.69. I went to Oklahoma yesterday..same there also.
We decided to stay in Amarillo for Thanksgiving. My wife didn't want to take any extra time off for a longer trip, so I'm missing the Phoenix Goodguys show this weekend.
Been down below freezing the past few nights...I have a feeling this El Nino winter ain't gonna be good.
On another note...did you see the internet article a few weeks ago on GM's plan to introduce a new line of cars?....made in CHINA!! What are they thinking? The author of the article suspected it may anger the auto builder's unions...DUH. I'd be willing to bet not too many of GM's CEO"S are into classic car restoration, or they'd know what the life expectancy of those vehicles will be. Wanna see GM go belly up? try putting a 10 year warranty on those cars to increase interest! How are they gonna make a car when they can't make a ball joint??

I couldn't find anything about building them there and shipping them here, did you find something?
Ford has been manufacturing cars and parts all over the world from way back when before our times..

 Meet  Anthony"Tony" Weiner. Its hard to believe this guy replaced two standard Australian Shepherd's but he is doing a pretty good job. Prefect street rod dog. Loves to go and will fit in anything. It's also kind of nice not having to deal with all the heavy thinking Aussies do, This guy is pretty much a blank page. He does seem to think that I walk on water so that's all I need from him.

You do know why the cowboy wanted a weiner dog, don't you?

Great to know that someone else is owned by one of those hounds.  Best guard dog I ever owned>  I think she would attack anyone that stuck their arm is any of my vehicles she is in.

Hmmm....That looks a lot like a Chevrolet steering wheel

[RICH MUISE]

Sure doesn't look like Kansas out that window.

That was heidi's (my hound) vehicle.  She has traded it off since the photo was taken.  My wife took the photo so I don't know where it was.  Wherever it was Heidi would have been helping me drive.
