Car repair and roasted nuts

This is a nice story about roasted nuts which is perfect as we head into the holiday season… I just completed an interesting car ‘repair’. It was not on my Mustang but it was still pretty fun. And, a pretty good repair success that I don’t mind bragging about. Yesterday, the...

Save on Carlisle 2011 Registration

Believe it or not, it is not too early to start thinking about Carlisle Ford Nationals in June 2011. I received an email recently from them that they are having a sale staring on Friday, December 17. In a separate email from them they had a little detail on club arrangements...

Cold weather is here: Mustang season might be over

We got some light snow today. Not much accumulation but enough to get the trucks out spreading salt. I usually use this as the sign that the old Mustang should go away for the winter. It seems like I just didn’t get to drive it enough this year so...

Still running (and staying healthy)

I had a really busy summer due to some personal commitments.  I skipped the fall marathon that I have run for a couple years now because I didn’t have the time required to train. With things slowing down and the weather changing I am back to regular running. I...

Carlisle 2010 Pictures Posted

Tonight I went through all of my photos and picked out some to share. You can find them in my PicasaWeb Carlisle 2010 photo album. I never want to have a single copy of any computer file and this especially true for my photos. I lost pictures once and...

Carlisle 2010 Trip Report

This was the most stormy Carlisle All-Ford Nationals in my fours years of attendance. But, we didn’t let that get us down. We still had a great time. This year I tried something different with my use of twitter to post pictures and short updates as the show went...

7-up Car Lost in Fire

This year at Carlisle we again saw Nick P. who, while not a member of this site, has joined us the past three years with his ’90 7-up. He informed us that he lost it in a garage fire earlier this year. He mentioned that it was on the...

The New 2011 Mustang V6. 0 to 60 Fast. F to E Slow

I’ve been seeing this commercial every night during the evening news. We usually record the news on our DVR, watch it later in the evening and skip through the commercials. Except for this one. I always stop and watch this in its entirety. Sometimes twice. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gh4HE9bNHK4 “Custom vehicles. See...

Five-oh on the five-oh

Late last year I posted that I was almost at 50k miles when I put my car away for the winter. I haven’t driven it much this year but, earlier this month, I went for a ride and thought I would be back well before I hit 50k. It...

TWF Club Sticker

You may or may not have realized that I have been, in a sense, ‘absent’ from this site for a couple of weeks. No forum posts, no blog posts and no tweets. I was away on vacation for 10 days and then I returned to a need to get...
