Too bad the wive does not have the sense to dress in a manner.that makes her appear older/ more appropriate.

You can't fix stupid. He's the problem, not her. He looks like a ridiculously major sugar daddy. I'm sure it's love................

The same for me! It's been a progression kind of thing my whole life and one of my inspirations. The things I have always dreamt of having. I've said this before, if I would have stopped when people said I was crazy, I'd still be poor. My life has always been a bucket list kind of thing. I've lived in eight homes, some on a 56,000 acre lake, land, trees, city and as a family, we've flipped dozens of homes. I bought and sold my share of our bucket list farm back to my brother, one more off the list.The problem is, time waits for no one, I'm aging out, like all of us. For instance, I don't have the space anymore after downsizing or the will to pull the front end from under my Coronet, so I'm paying a friend to do it for me. Now I'm building a farm, town and lake community, in my basement, reverting back to the start.

My "crazy" behavior was not true insanity but a calculated act to serve my hidden, intentional goals. Crazy, of course, like a fox!! LOL

One of the most amazing trips my wife and I took was a steam train tour of Colorado. 5 different trains that went around the perimeter of the state. We started with a cog railway trip to the top of pikes peak where we watched a thunderstorm roll in under our feet and lightning form in the clouds. Roamed around the Rockies and took a brazillian pics. Highly recommend. Mayflower tours.

More detailing will come after I pour the clear epoxy river. A good start. I'll set the bridges, tracks, and roads after I lay out the rest of the layout. It's 12 foot along the wall and 8 foot out, minus the 4 by 5 center cut out.

All this will be in it, eventually!

the current (2025) Billy-Beer Clinton looks pretty different and much older than he did during his presidency. I think he should stay away from being photographed at this phase of his life. Poor (fellatio-is-not-sex) guy.

If he was that cool he would have never married Hillary.

We've taken the Durango to Silverton steam train trip before. It was a beautiful scenic ride and well worth it. Pikes peak is a must see also. On the way to Durango from Colorado Springs, going up and over, it started to drop freezing rain on us in the mountains in july. Hot in town and short of snow in the mountains, strange how it works! LOL.

Nice grille and bumpers. Chassis looks good too. The dog dish hubcaps match her cup size!

Hi Ulli;
Coincidentally, I saw this car just yesterday. The guy that built it lives in Tillsonburg, Ontario, about half an hour away from me. He attends a lot of local shows and cruises. He used to have a business repairing and polishing stainless trim, but no longer does it.I
This weekend has a cruise running from Fort Erie (Buffalo), to St. Thomas, and back, on Hwy. 3,with pit stops along the way. It is a 125 mile cruise, one way, but you can join or leave as you please. I only did about half of this cruise, turning around at Cayuga, with 3 other cars. We likely saw 500 or so other older cars enjoying the beautiful day on the Highway. It was likely the only weekend of the year that Corvette guys were waving at drivers of "lesser" cars. LOL. This custom Valiant wagon was only one of the cruise participants.
One of the more interesting vehicles seen was an elaborate "Rat Rod". Normally I am not a fan of these, but this one was an exception. The piece looked more like a road-going locomotive than a car! The body was a Model "A" sedan mounted on a huge frame, and powered by a twin-turbo'd V-892 Detroit Diesel, hooked to an automatic transmission. The firewall of the car body sat at about mid-frame, with all the huge mechanical bits taking up the front half of the frame. It all rode on tall and wide truck tires. The sound of the 2-stroke D D was magnificent! Unfortunately, I am not a cell phone guy, so I did not get any pictures.

Friends of ours are taking the Rocky Mountain Express sight seeing train. They fly to Vancouver, B.C., where they board the train. From there, it is a 3-day excursion over the Rockies, to Calgary, AB., with overnight stops at luxurious hotels. It is a Bucket List dream of theirs. Mine too, but will not likely happen. Very $$$.

That sounds great, yes everything is expensive and that can be extremely disappointing. Theresa and I had a conversation about finances the other day, and I'm done conserving or saving money. I have X amount of money and if I run a time line out, I'm good to go. I'm spending like a drunk sailor for the first time in my life. LOL.

Cool car, but the driver's door is a different color.

I don't know how Bill can even coach a team with a distraction like that. I would have to just take her to the locker room and punish her.

I bet it was a blast!! I've said this before, it may not be someones cup of tea, but the engineering that goes into some Rat Rods could floor you if you dissect the car itself.
