                  Hi Everyone!!

Picture
Tom's right . . . the original picture was a Mercury.
Turns out that this week the "Back to the Fifties" event is back in town - June 22 - 24.  It's a fun event but Holy Cow, really tough to park and navigate through the event area.  Lots of great old cars there but not catalogued so you could find the car you might want to see.  That's what we found at our Coachmen Rally a couple of years ago.  Twelve thousand cars attending the event this year.    

I'm always looking for the 1949 Lincoln I drove in High School.  It had suicide doors, a fan in the rear window, finned aluminum high compression heads, dual carbs and dual exhausts.  Zero to 60 in about 9 seconds!  Beside going through head gaskets like water from a leaky faucet, the carbs could start on fire at any given moment.  It got about 4 miles to a gallon when it wasn't on fire.  Really loved that car! 

Too bad I don't still have it.  Maybe I could drag race Westy and put him in his place!  Unlike Westy . . .  I'M IN THE PRIME OF LIFE!!!


The Turntable - Great HS tunes!  . . . The Flipside features the Beatles and Glen Campbell  . . Westy "ROLLS" in PICTURESQUE! . . . Today in The Club PUB - 
Carol Wergin announces the date (and time) of the "Spirit Of The Rivers" dedication.  

Well . . . That's a wrap!  
​Till Next week / be safe and I'll see you on the Turntable!

                    Good Morning All!   

                            &      
         
Happy Father's Day!!  (a week early) 
It's time to get Dad a New Grill.  We may have to work hard to coax him away from his current model though.
Picture
Sometimes that perfect solution must be replaced!  Works great I know!  Got your hamburgers cooking right there and cold beer standing at the ready all in the same piece of equipment.  Easy cleaning too!  Just flush the coals when your done.   Who could ask for more.  

Well Mom could!   She would like to invite the neighbors over for a barbecue and a bit of social interaction but refuses to do so until this equipment is replaced! 

Still a tough decision for Dad.  Lots of old memories tied up here.  The idea came to him during the bathroom remodel a couple of years ago.  Sadly it has never been a popular idea with Mom.  Sooo . . I guess a new grill it is!   

​
                                   Happy Father's Day Mom!!!

Dion!  Lonely Teenager on The Turntable . . . Late 60's and 70's onThe Flipside  Check it out!! . . .  Jack Daniels would be proud indeed . . .  see why in  The ClubPUB . .

Good Morning Everyone!

    "In a world where
   Yesterday is incontestable
     Tomorrow is ambiguous
   Today . . is a dental chair and a cavity!

     What matters most"?
Picture

          Ahhh yes!  When you boil it all down "life" is truly simple.
                And fun!  Depending on which side of the chair you're located
                                                 (ask John Mag.)

Mark your calendars!!!  The date for the dedication of "Spirit of the Rivers"  has been tentatively set!  September 16th 2018.  

Skip:  "Sept 16th this year is the date my Board has given me.  However Harv, if you post it, do so with a cautionary note.   I still have to journey to my foundry for final work, the sculpture has to be delivered here, and then it has to be installed.   The frame for the plinth on which it will stand has been built but foundation is yet to be poured and plinth brought to the site.   It’s in Shawano now."

At least we know it will happen this year in September.  Hold that date open and we'll keep you posted if there are changes.

Musical food for Foodies! on The Turntable . . . Remember 1968 - Don Partridge "Blue Eyes" - it's on The Flipside  Please do yourself a favor and watch it!! . . .  I had to have a beer after posting that totally dry article in The ClubPUB . . Grab a Kingsbury and look it over.  Skip is back with an update on his TAHKU project in Juneau Alaska . . posted on Skip's Corner!

Well, that's a wrap!  
​Till Next week / be safe and I'll see you on the Turntable!
