Went walking along the Mighty Susquehanna on the Enola Low Grade Trail yesterday after work. The trail passes under two giant wind turbines, and being breezy, they were going at a good clip. It was like being at an airport, they're so noisy. Noise pollution. But I'm thankful I live in such a beautiful part of our great nation. If you look very closely, you can see a restored, bright red caboose on the trail.

@Robert Hall @dfelt You guys have your priorities wrong. That money should go toward cars, not booze

I went looking for vintage Ohio winter pics, found these, some GMs incl. a big Buick in there..the 1950 pic has a Hudson. Looks like a mid 70s Grand Prix and a '73-ish LeMans in the bottom pic (Blizzard of 78 in Cleveland).

snow and road salt and old Chevy got my attention. Then I read...Texas. I got jealous. I wanted to share a Montreal pic with you folk. So I googled vintage Montreal and winter in Montreal and all that... I wanted to somehow match Balthy's pic. This is what I got and Im very happy about it. I got a classic Montreal street, got the snow AND I got not 1 Chevy, but 2 in the pic. Im so proud of myself!!!

Pic I posted above was at a 1938 State Fair, I assume it was a 'booth' where the operator had to guess your weight within X pounds. Can't tell how tall she may be, but then again; just about EVERYONE was 'light' in the '30s. I'll bet 91 lbs for a young woman was common then. But if she's 'on the scale', he already guessed and her smirk must mean she won a prize.

My Dad's wife grew up in deep Amish and Mennonite country, her sister alerted her to a group of Mennonite ladies out there who were sewing masks, so Dad called my brother and me and asked if we wanted a few. Dad and stepmom drove out there, bought several, and delivered them to us. Dad wouldn't take my money. He's the best. Because they're homemade with love, they are not perfect. One of them is comfortable, I've been wearing (and washing) it every day. The other one is too small, it pulls my ears off and makes me look like Alfred E. Neuman.

Dangerous work; guessing women's weight. Only 91 lbs here (perfect) :

There are some nice wine fridges that can hold 50 bottles with double doors so you can have reds on one side aging nicely and cold whites / Roses on the other. I did forget to mention my wife has a 50 bottle wine fridge full of her whites nicely chilled so any time she wants, she can get what she wanting in a white including her lovely but sweet Ice Wines. Costco sells a couple fridges for this, Home Depot sells a few also. There is a wide selection online you can order. They really do make life nice to have a selection of wines chilled and ready especially with summer coming on.

Heh-heh..the cars are just sitting, not going anywhere..maybe getting driven 2-3 miles a week. They are fine. A glass or two of wine w/ dinner, and an afternoon margarita or Bloody Mary while sitting out on the patio or by the fire pit in the evening makes staying home all the time much more pleasant...

Sweet...my wine rack only holds about 25 bottles. Thinking I may need a wine fridge.

'33 Chevrolet Eagle. Thought it looked mid 30's you can tell by the door trim (shape and angle) mid door under the window and the sloping front fender, the wheels are spot on match too. I worked around a lot of classic cars and trucks years ago. https://classiccars.com/listings/view/1179549/1933-chevrolet-eagle-for-sale-in-cadillac-michigan-49601

Well stocked wine cellar, about 900 bottles and a decent small batch liqueur cabinet.

Right, Wife figures less time in crowded stores where we could possibly catch a virus means more time relaxing with good food and drink at home. I will say you never had garlic till you have true fresh garlic from the yard. Love it! Yes a very boxy front end and yet I like it for some reason.

It looks sharp. I rarely like silver or grey on vehicles but the way yours has the tinted windows up front, the black roof and the black mags...they contrast amazingly with the silver body. In not so many words, your Flex looks great. Ive driven a loaner Flex before...on one of those many Fusion recalls, and Acura I think had given me a base Explorer (go figure...) on a TL recall, and I soooooo preferred the Flex for ride, handling, space. If I remember correctly, both had the 3.5 liter. Which I am familiar with as I owned a 2009 Edge at one time with that 3.5 liter 6. I liked that engine. Wish it was in my wife's Fusion. But Ill be honest, neither 3 were my cup of tea. But between the three, in looks I do prefer the Edge, but the Flex has kinda grown on me over the years. I still wouldnt own one. But I do like them. And if I had to own one...Id take it like in the pic below, but chrome delete. I would prefer if the door handles were either body colour but better if they were black. Your mags would be cool on it, but with red instead of the silver. Thinking about it, and googling the 2009 Edge to remember myself how it looked, I think I prefer the Flex over the 2009 Edge. Hmmmm. Weird how this turned out. PS: I prefer your Flex without the pinstriping as well!

Got all kinds of crazy veggies the wife wants. She has a HUGE amount of Veggie starts in her Green house. Will take a pic when out tomorrow and post. Zucchini, crookneck squash, Tomatoes, Corn, Sesame leafs, Various peppers hot and savory, Korean Lettuce, Korean Perilla leaves, pumpkins, Walla Walla Onions, Leeks, Green Onions, Potatoes, etc.. I have Garlic growing already as you plant that in the winter. Have a large in ground garden which holds the onions, Potatoes and Squash plants.

Finished up on Monday the latest edition to our garden, a 5 ft wide x 10 ft long x 2 1/2 ft tall vegetable garden bed. Organic and should serve a long life for us.

And the pin striping (which was beat up in the first place) is now gone. Love the cleaner look without it as I’ve never been a fan of pin striping.

Outside with the good camera again so I couldn't resist taking a few more shots of her.

Sure, she's smiling now...
