Have to take a break from watching the Kavanaugh hearings. My head is about to explode.
got my errands done, now picking up inside. Always like to unplug certain things while I'm away, like the toaster oven.
Now to program the destination into the nav system, I know the way by heart but always interesting to see/hear what a new AI of sorts
thinks I should do. Only one captain of this boat ...
Two of my closest friends in high school had a 442 and a GTO.
Much debate when those Hurst floor shifts came out for automatic.
Sure looked cool. I remember the 442 was bright red, convertible with black top, and
pretty sure an automatic. The GTO was definitely an automatic, how my friend and his brother got his mother
to buy that thing is a source of endless fond and humorous memories we still joke about. Both of their fathers were "car guys".
My father drove dented 210 grey Chevies. Not a car guy. Therefore no free cars for me.
What was odd was my grandfather owned a very small Ford dealership for some unknown period of time.
So I figured he'd be a Ford man. Nope, medium green Chevrolet 1955 sedan with not one ounce of chrome on it except the bumpers.
Blue Flame Six and three on a tree, the cheapest combo you could get. Bench seat. No radio. He might
have begrudgingly opted for heat and power steering...
It's what I learned to drive on.
Bottom line is grandfather lost everything in Depression, had to start over.
Life lessons like most of us have not gone through. Thankfully.
