Got a text tonight from one of my closest & dearest friends (her mom thought we would get married) that her daughter got engaged tonight. Very happy for her, but then I remember when visiting her in the hospital when her daughter was born and I told her that means we're getting old!

I bought this in a group of built street cars. I don't follow NASCAR closely but don't recall this version of the Ford Fusion being kitted.

Grabbed a couple of the Suburbans. No 48 Fords. The only die cast they had was the pagani huayra @ $12.99

Local Cars & Coffee.....

My sons wanted to know where the door handle was on the 2020 Corvette. I presume it was part of the door vent but I told him to ask the gentleman who owns it. The guy went over and opened the door to show him....then asked if the 13 year old (both my sons are above the norm on the growth chart....my oldest is 6'5") if wanted to get behind the wheel. Then the owner fired it up. I passed on the opportunity as I didn't to have to crawl out of it. I got behind the wheel of a Mercedes AMG GT and thought the dealership was going to need the Jaws of Life to get me out as my knees wouldn't bend enough to get out.

One of my furry foursome. Brian Griffin (the teenager named him!) looked like one of his K9 teeth had broken off so made an appointment to get his teeth cleaned. He had two chips (neither current when I adopted him) and the big guy had little if any care before he came here four years ago. Three beds, two cushions on the couch and a chair...he picks the smallest bed as apparently the pain meds were working well. He did have two teeth extracted (K9 tooth was broken off when I first met him and vet said it's not any worse). No chew toys for three weeks. Seriously? He is a nine year old 'puppy'! As long as he's happy and healthy....

She's in the hands of the best! My mom's brother had cancer and the local Dr's told him there was nothing they could do so he went to the Cleveland Clinic. They found other affected body parts and came up with a treatment plan. He said it gave him several years that he never expected to have.

Got the postcard today for the toy show about an hour away.....show WAS August 16th! It was postmarked July 28th!!

1/18 Maisto Lamborghini Sian

We have a mouse issue (not like the Geico commercial!) It happened once before when we left a cabinet on the front porch and Mickey and friends took shelter in the base so we unknowingly brought them in the house. Went to Lowes and grabbed a couple of the traps and the issue was gone in just a few days. This time, I presume they came in through boxes delivered to the house. I thought I saw one downstairs but before I got to go get traps again, one made it's way to the first floor bathroom. I went to Ace Hardware and got the Tomcat traps (they only had one style, which only opens about the thickness of my thumb)...needless to say, they were not resolving the problem. I went Lowes and got the ones like I had before that open about 90 degrees and they've been going for the peanut butter fairly regularly. Now I apparently have a smarter one as the one trap which has been the most successful, it keeps eating the peanut butter but not tripping it! This time I loaded it so it would activate with less pressure AND put some back farther on the hinge to make it stick its head in farther. Just looked, it took the peanut butter at the end, left the one back in farther and yep, didn't trip it! At this rate, it's going to die of heart disease or obesity!

Since all the shows have been cancelled this year (so far) I grabbed this here. Wish they would make a four food version...

1/18 Maisto 2020 Shelby Mustang GT500 Just need to find the green one

Nothing automotive at the one near me. Several military ships and planes. I did grab one of the two Scooby Doo biplanes.

As I taught both my boys when they were young and in their car seats.....the pick-n-flick. Sometimes your nose itches and when scratching you excavate a moon rock and need to dispose of it.....right out the car window (so long as the car is not in motion or it will come back in).

I go by the philosophy of a local guy who came back from WWII and realized that if you give kids a place to play and help them organize sports, they stay out of trouble. 70 years later that organization STILL exists and offers baseball, softball and basketball from youth to 8th grade. I've bought cheap kits and given them to co-workers kids or friends of my sons to get the kids off the electronics. My teenager goes with me to the Cars-n-Coffee events and I teach him the history of the older cars and as well as the high end stuff so he ends up buying kits and die casts. I do the same with Hot Wheels at Halloween to give them a break from vegitating in front of the TV

No but she had a great sense of humor so we could both laugh it off..... Ironically, my wife of almost 23 years is left handed (different woman)

I was in my early twenties and got set up with a beautiful, tall blonde (through a mutual friend) that was left handed. Had an absolute text book perfect first date.....until the kiss goodnight and we tilted our heads (didn't take into account lefties tilt left) resulted in a head butt.

Maisto 2020 Shelby Mustang GT500

1966 Cadillac Closest to a perfect '10' condition I've seen.....

Had to get one for myself after my teenage son came home with one. Shame we can't get it in plastic......

60 Cadillac....got the chance to speak to the driver. Older gentleman has owed it for 35 year. Bought it from the original owner. Original vinyl top

Didn't expect to find one of these at Hobby Lobby.........

Never did I imagine that I would ever say 'watching an NHL playoff game' for my birthday (today) but to watch the Blue Jackets come back from a 3-0 deficit to win in overtime was a great ending to the day Made Jambalaya with alligator sausage and shrimp for dinner.

Just found out from a co-worker who had plans attending
