This just in...

And here we have a metal pen, tastefully done in USU blue, complete with the clock tower logo. Thank you for the lovely gift.

The Haul

I pity the fellow who gets ties and golf clubs for Father's Day.
Take a look at these beauties.

It had to happen. Someone gave me the finger.

The hostile Kermit is added to my collection

Shiny green barrel with jewels on the end.

The copper dragon. Makes me want to order take out.

And something to keep them in, complete with an inscription.

Thank you to all. you know I love them.

Just in time for Father's Day...

...our first car.

I think we paid $700 for a nine-year-old 1967 Mustang. It was NOT the race version. It had a straight-6 engine and a 3-speed tranny. (It did have a cool Hurst shifter, though.)

After driving it for a year or so, we decided to repaint it. Garth turned his one-car garage into a spray booth by covering the shelves with plastic, hosing down the air, pulling the car in and closing the door. He used a box fan cut into the door to create negative air pressure in the garage.

Actually, everything he painted turned out looking very nice.

This photo shows not only the finished product but Garth's International Scout, Ella's Pinto and Garda's Galaxy as well.
