It's nice outside. What are you doing?

Hey ,I've been driving the 54 mercury a little today messed with the 52 chevy and the 46 dodge it is NICE out side and trying to move stuff around so I can get a wooden table in my garage, man I got alot of junk but its my junk going back out side now.....Later

Went by a friend of my dad's today. He has a hay baler he wants me to come get. John Deere that's never been off his farm and never set outside overnight but he's 80 now and hasn't baled any hay in five or six years. While I'm there checking out all his old junk (including HIS dad's 54 1/2 Chevy truck) I asked if he had any other old cars and he says hes got a Model A truck but it's pretty far gone.

What part of TN? And I assume running is prefered.

hes in search for a project. he just had to retire with carlisle construction/maxima bought out . but he needs something to keep him occupied.

i found him one in nashville for 750 bucks, o yeah he is in ashland city .

Ashland City isn't too far. Is he getting the one you found?

So, my dad's first car was a '26 Olds touring sedan. When I was 12 he told me I could have it. I lived in AL and he lived in TN. I visited in the summer and that summer we messed around with it till we got it running. I couldn't wait till the next summer. When I got there I found out a scrapper had come by and bought all the old cars from my grandfather. Two Model T's, three Model A's, a 52Chevy and my Olds. It was years before I forgave my grandfather. I finally realized they really were just junk to him.

That stinks. Wouldn't it be nice to go back right now and those old cars still be sitting around.

One of my guys (Levi Garrett, Yep real name)is leaving Monday for Afganistan. He has a wife and young child. Please keep him in your prayers.

I'd like to see our guys and gals leaving there for good and no more going over.

They don't want us there. Civilized peoples have been trying to help/conquer this country for centuries. It is NOT going to get any better. Our president has already told them the date they will be able to take the country back. We CAN NOT liberate these people. They have to do it for themselves. If we win it and give it to them, then they will be no better than our chidren we overindulge. They will be glad to accept the bennies until the Taliban moves back in and takes it away from them. Then it will be back to business as usual. Why do we keep wasting our best young men there. When we have our allies killing the very guys that are training them, we really need to come home and let the sun crazed Muslim maniacs kill each other off. OH wait, some of them HAVE to live so they can receive the government assistance from the American taxpayer.

It's sad and true. I agree.

Well the '56 Packard turned out to be a '57?

Well that explains it

Was the 396 in that Chevy? Was it a 4 door or 2?

Sorry Steve
I missed this.
Yea the engine is still in it. It's a four door and has more rust in it than any Impala i've seen here. Even the hood's rusted through. And some punk broke all the windows out a long time ago.
