What a week for me



 Hello everyone,

Finished the races in Bowling Green on Saturday, spent Sunday with my youngest son, Monday when I left to come home I finally managed to go on a tour of the Corvette factory in Bowling Green! Been trying to do that for 20 years! Then we left on Friday morning and drove to Milwaukee to see James Taylor in concert tonight and just now I got to go to the Harley Davidson museum!

Here are some pics for the week: 




Theses are from the Corvette factory, no cameras allowed inside.


You can tell where this is in Milwaukee! They had a bike show the morning and here’s a few pics from that:




You can sort of tell which ones I was interested in(LOL), but there were a lot of bikes in the show, mostly knuckleheads and panheads. A few flatheads and a few shovels.
James Taylor was really good, I have a couple of movies from the show but they’re too long to post and I’m not good at editing.

Well, I’m back at it, working the little job and the wife wanted to put in a small pool, sunk 18” in the ground. We haven’t had rain here in about a month and the ground is like concrete! So, I borrowed a mini excavator from work and got the hole dug, they’re supposed to deliver the sand tomorrow..



Got this far and now it’s supposed to rain for the next few days! LOL!!

That’s ok we really need it. Well, I think that’s all for now when this project is finished, I think I’m going to start on the old gator. A new engine and hopefully a hydraulic dump bed, actually could have used on the pool project!

Talk to you soon,

Back in touch

 Hello everyone, 

Got most of the spring stuff finished up. Still have a pretty good mulch pile to spread on the trails in the woods. Got most of it finished in time for the party last weekend. We had a blast, about 70 people showed up and the band was excellent!


This week I’m at the Hot Rod Reunion in Bowling Green Kentucky. Got here a little bit ago and am all set up.


I don’t remember what year this thing is on but I’ve only missed two of them. This thing is a huge flashback for me, when I was younger everybody went to U.S.30 drag away, I really miss that place. This place really reminds me very much of 30. Even the cars they’re racing remind me of back then.

If I have good enough internet I’ll try to post some pictures throughout the week.

I’m also going to try and make a factory tour at the Corvette plant here in Bowling Green. I’ve been trying to ever since I’ve been coming down here and have never had it work out, wish me luck!

When I get home next weekend we’re going to see James Taylor in concert in Milwaukee, my life has been very good since I retired!

I’m still picking up parts for the bike and I’m trying to save the money I’m making at the side job to make the bike come true this winter, once again wish me luck!

Well, I think that’s all for now.

Talk to you soon,
