Dropped one of the dogs off at the groomer so the wife and I went to the local antique mall to kill time. Rarely find anything but did okay today. $15 for the two and the box.....both are screw bottoms. The Buick is missing the back bumper

Pic 1.....Thrift store find. Someone repainted a bunch of these Chrysler's as there was about a dozen of them but some were decent while others were their learning curve. This one was by far one of the better ones......just needs polished July swap meet Love the old boats! Leaving it as is Grand Prix is a rebuilder. Built but dismantled/stripped.

Officer.....when you say 'walk the line' does it have to be the double yellow line?

The lone one in the SW Ohio is moving to a new location around the corner as the complex they were in morphs into yet another car lot. Hopefully the new location brings new employees and understands customer service.

An EF2 tornado did some major damage in a small town NE of Cincinnati. One of the local new stations sent their evening anchors out the next day to broadcast from the area and solicit donations. As the female reporter went on about things to donate like water, non perishable food items, diapers, etc, the male reporter talked about how hot is was the day before when the tornado his (heat index in some areas hit 111 degrees). She picked up where she left off on her list of donatable items and mentioned window air conditioners.....without missing a beat, the male reporter said "they have no electric!" OOPS!! And a quick cutaway to a field reporter. Hopefully the camera man kept it rolling behind the scenes. I was impressed ODOT had slapped snow plows on the dumps trucks as there was a great number of trees clogging the roads and within hours were out there. Cinergy staged at a nearby mall and had over 80% of the power restored in 24 hours.

Wife and son were out of town so I set my alarm to get up extra early so I could feed the dogs before going to the Cars & Coffee. As I'm checking to make the alarm is off (and not on snooze) I hear the thunder. Only a few clouds in the sky so not where it came from but so much for that plan as this one usually has higher end cars so attendance will be minimal! I shuffled to the deck door and let the dogs out before going to the bathroom to recycle myself. Less than ten seconds later, Brian is barking and getting louder. He is the diva so I'm used to it but as I finish I go to let him in and it's raining. I let all three of them but he is still barking at. I think I just got called some bad names in K9-eze?????

My maternal grandmother had Alzheimers and ended up in a nursing home It's hard when they look at you and have no clue who you are. She was a sock hoarder in the nursing home.....went to neighboring rooms and took socks. Never understood that. My dad had Dementia and it was far worse as you never knew what personality he had today. He could be in group hug mode or racist rants using verbiage I never heard him use! The one thing that brought them both peace was images from the past. Grandma worked in a department store and gave so much of her life there, any tales or pics from the store put her in her happy place. Dad was a car lover so pics from car shows showing things from the 30's to the 50's would keep him focused for hours. Both could recall things from their childhood like it just happened or the last five minutes of the conversation. Everything in between was gone.

Took the day off to take all three dogs into the vet for their rabies and all the other shots.....one dog at a time. They are great together at home but a road trip (less than a mile to the vet) and it's like taking three little kids out. Everyone got a check up and all are good!

Local model swap meet. $110 for the two JoHans. Ambulance is complete....wheels are on the stretcher. Both are complete and the back doors work $5 for the trailer

Seriously? The worst this guy was booted from an overpriced amusement park!! https://www.fox19.com/2022/06/20/owner-leaves-dog-inside-115-degrees-vehicle-while-visiting-kings-island-police-report/

I'm my dog's Uber.... Brian Griffin had a grooming/manny/petty appointment. He's a diva and prefers the A/C out of the vent in the back of the console than sticking he head out the window

They do have an abundance of pits, they post on their Facebook page of the daily intakes and about half of them are pits. I know they don't want to promote how many they have and encourage the folks who will use them for fighting, but that's no reason to not post any animals.

Local animal shelter is over capacity by 70+ dogs. They have dogs in foster homes, in portable cages, crates, etc. None (!) of them are posted on Petfinder. Petfinder is exclusively for rescues and shelters.

Second last day of school for my son so I grabbed a gift card for Lowes yesterday. One of the teachers is out there every morning (no matter the weather) directing traffic as well as making sure the kids don't splattered as they walk across the drive lane as they don't look up from their phones. I rolled in this a.m. and put the window down handing him an envelope telling him I appreciate what he does and that it takes brass ones to this every day. I'm sure he wasn't expecting it. My late father did that at the elementary school (before the city built a new all-in-one school). He made it a couple years and very few even took the time to thank him. He had two conversations with the police that they asked him to not come back the following year. First one, traffic was backed up in the L shaped bend. Cops told him he needed to speed things up. Dad pointed out if the guard at the intersection at the far end of the drive stops traffic for every kid instead of having them wait ten seconds for another kid, there is no place for the cars TO go. Second was someone backed into a sign post bending. Cops were grumpy that he didn't see who hit it. Dad told them it was more important that the kids running across the road then a replaceable post.

Just a quick thank you to everyone who commented on Turner's passing. The emergency vet sent a sympathy card with two paw prints which really turned the water works back on. Wife picked up him remains and the place that did his cremation made a plaster print of his paw. I can't foster as once you are in THIS house, you are here to stay! Since the rescue we adopted him from is no longer in operation, I doubled the donation to the shelter in KY he was rescued from. I'm working on finding a rescue or rural shelter that can use the rest of his seizure meds.

Lost one of my foursome this a.m. Turner (Jack Russell/sheltie mix) had been having seizures for months but the Keppra has helped him greatly. 5a this morning he went into a seizure and every time he came out of it, as he tried to stand up he went into another one...and another. He probably had about a dozen by the time we got him to the emergency vet (two in the truck on the ten minute drive). It's never an easy decision even it's the right decision. As we walked in, another guy had driven 30 minutes bringing in Jack Russell having a seizure. He was having a hard time talking to the receptionist so I gave a bro-hug as I was in the same position. Farewell Turner.....see you at the Rainbow Bridge. There's others from my house who will welcome you!

Rocco from the Naked Gun 33 1/3 movie.....

In that case, don't ask for them to put a Cougar aside for you......

I was looking at the Storm and then moved onto the pick ups. Didn't really need those but when the seller said $20 for all of them, they followed me home. I don't think the Beretta and the Storm have seen the light of day since the assembly line.

Cincinnati Reds winning streak ended....at six hours! Their record is 4-23. Losing 100 games this season now WELL within reach

Here's the one that had my undivided attention......70 Javelin. It has the street interior and home made plates over the headlights/tail lights. Need to find a stock dash as I want to turn this back into the street version. Not really a Ford guy but as I obsessed about the Javelin for the week long action, some of the other builds came into view. All are complete, just dusty (the ones photographed from behind was due to being tired of trying to get the front end to stay on for a quick pic). I was hoping the 67 Galaxie convertible was in decent shape. Complete and the windshield posts are in tact.
