I had a meet-up with one of our fellow full-timers, Lloyd, this morning. What an interesting man! He's really easy to have a conversation with, which seems to be the norm for RVers. We drove to a local Starbucks and talked for a while, then back to The Palms where we sat outside in the sun and continued our conversation. Thanks, Lloyd, for coming over and visiting. I really enjoyed meeting you!
That's about all the news or information for today. My son, Tom, sent me an e-mail with the latest two cars he's restored, and if you are interested in cars, here are the photos. I always enjoy seeing his restored cars and houses, they are usually junkers when he buys them, and jewels when he sells them. He is not selling these cars, at least not now. He likes to keep them for a while and drive them. Might as well enjoy them after all the work to get them so pretty!
The first one is a1968 Rally Sport Camaro. He has much of the original
paperwork as well as ownership history back to the original owner. Tom found some 8 track tapes
to play in the restored 8 track AM/FM radio. The tires are original bias ply
(non radials) from the 1960's. He found a guy who had a small inventory of these
original Red Line Firestones.
Here's the other one. Tom said it's the rarest and most valuable car he's restored. It
has all of the original factory paperwork as well as all of the original CA
registrations since 1970 when it was first sold (it has the blue CA license
plates). It has been seen recently driving down the Coast Highway with two
small boys in the back seat enjoying the view from their car seats! (My two grandsons, Graydin and Gavin. Gavin is a real car guy at 7 years old, and knows all Dad's cars.)
Today was a beautiful day, the sun was shining, the breeze very light, and it was warm, not hot! It would be nice if every day was like this, except for an occasional storm. Plus my condo sale is done and I had some good company. What more could I want?
From me and Katie, have a great weekend, everyone! :)
