I know my Great Uncle’s ‘65 Bird was first registered October 8th 1964 but the first owner got the car July 6th 1965 so I would assume October 64 was when the car was built. Also the wipers in that car, they are operated by a lever on the dash that you pull close or push away for the speed, but he has a folded piece of paper in there keepin the lever back because he said it’s spring loaded so without the paper jammed in there the wipers come on full throttle. Not really sure why it’s like that; never asked him -
I would imagine it’s just “come with your car” but I did see cars with a registration sheet in the windshield so I’m not entirely sure.

If you've seen this year's photos at the show that I took, you know how horribly rainy it was. Last year was typical weather.

Trying to take care of some 70 year old sort of friend.

Forgot to mention one other thing I did for my grandma was rebuild the "shack" so to speak; it was an unsightly structure built by my grandfather and his pals in the 80s with a bucket of screws and 2 cases of beer. Constructed out of actual tree logs for the frame and roofed with that wavy type sheet metal and a mix of wood/metal sides and rear. No front door; was for the fourwheeler and lawn mower in the summer, and the 1953 Massey Fergeson in the winter. Neighbors cats kept using the shack as a litter box since the base of the shack is just sandy gravel. So I took off the rotten wood, added double doors on the front, added more wood on the sides replacing the sheetmetal that was on the sides and put that on the back of the shack so now the whole thing is enclosed and is an impenetrable fortress. Painted it all red, too. -

Bench seats are neat; sat in one when I test drove a '92 Ford Truck, and a '69 four-door Nova; they should bring them back.

I was hoping the local Princess Auto would take me but one, there are no openings, and two, my dad inquired one day and they only accept online applications. I was kinda sold on the idea of being a stock boy; my dad was in his early days. Funny you mention Corner Gas; seen all the episodes and the movie.

I mean i've been helping my grandma since my grandfather died in 2021; picked up where he left off I guess. No veg garden anymore though. But the property is large and so it keeps me busy; mowing the multiple fields or "lawns" if they'd even be classified as that since they're so large; take an hour for each one, with the riding lawn mower which is the same age as me. Painted the railings and cement stairs to both the front and rear doors, re-painted the 1980 something screen doors, did all the window sills, the garage roof overhangs, and misc stuff in/around the house. Yesterday put all of her Christmas deco up; the tree, ornamented it, got replacement lights for one of her early 2000's maybe late 90s window hanging wreath frame as the original cable finally stopped working 2 years ago. Wierd because the christmas tree and candle frames still work and the three came together. One more thing I gotta find one of her Christmas table cloths; the only one unaccounted for... gonna try looking later. Wouldn't call it taking care of her but I just like to make sure the place is nice because I really like being there. -

If I do get one it would be just like a weekend-after school type deal; one of our classes is actually having us submit resumes/cover letters into the MNR (Ministry of Natural Resources) and also for co-op placement they're basically giving us jobs over the summer so it will happen regardless; just having some work experience to put on a resume would be nice.

IMPEDIMENT: give me an "I" give me an "M" give me a "P" give me an "E" give me a "D" give me an "I" give me an "M" give me an "E" give me an "N" give me a "T", what's that spell; IMPEDIMENT! Whoo!

Being 18 and never having a job is kinda worse; the situation I'm in now. First applied to the Library in April; but they don't need anyone. Most of the odd job stores around here want you to submit an online resume; which may sort of be the reason why it's a little tricky. Went to American Eagle store in Traverse City back in October and they had a table out front with a stack of blank job application forms and a pencil; wished they were doing that around here. Then college happened and I've been swamped with loads of school work so a job during that time would be null and void as I haven't the time for a job now. BUT our Christmas break starts a week earlier than high or elementary schools and so with that 3-4 weeks off I'm hoping to get something going. Good luck to you man; you're not the only one feeling down about not having a job.

Like the Red Stude Hawk and the '59 Impala holy smokes and that '55 or '56 Montclair Mercury

My Great Uncle said that Corvairs absoultely sucked when it came to winter driving, in reference to the photo with the '60. His wife my great aunt had a Corvair before they were married I think and he despised the thing. It wouldn't start at all in the cold.

That '61 Monarch sure is nice; can't be a whole lotta those around
