Now home for supper, I whipped up a salad. prepped a 1/4 Acorn Squash for each of us with pure maple syrup and a pork Tenderloin for the Weber Q.

| Acorn squash |
On the grill about 20 minutes and tenderloin is 145f Internal temp and the squash is perfect. Preheat and cook low and slow.

| Sure did the trick tonight |
After supper outside went for a bit of a walkabout, noticed this 1949 Ford convertible down by the clubhouse (1949 the year I was born). Boy do I have memories of that car ! Never owned one but a buddy in high school (in Scarborough Ontario Canada, suburb of Toronto) had one that looked just like this, flat black paint, pipes on the side and loud! I was 16 at the time and had my 1956 Ford it was flat black too, before I finished the body work an paint job. He always had the top down, pipes on the side open and girls hanging out the back seat. It was a fun time back then, oh the memories. Drag races on the streets and the trouble we could have gotten into. He never beat me though.But we were lucky never did get caught and I have survived! Not sure what he is doing, we lost touch right after high school, I got married and moved away.
Now that just made my day perfect ! It was good before but even better now.
And I even got to talk to the fellow that owned it for a bit, Much younger than me but the car still has the original Flat head V/8 and 3 speed transmission (3 on the tree) and no power steering or brakes. Amazing!
Thanks for stopping by and really hope you had a great day too.

ReplyDeleteIt was a wonderful day !
DeleteSounds perfect to me.
ReplyDeleteOur favorite kind of days.
DeleteNice old Ford. Those cars were made to customize with those lake pipes and spotlights.
ReplyDeleteThey sure were a lot of fun back then and still are.
DeleteThat old Ford got your youth juices working again. Reminiscing about your misspent youth is something that is fun to do, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteYes it sure was fun, bringing back those old memories.
DeleteMy aunt had a 49 Ford hardtop, drove with her many a mile. I've seen quite a few 49 Fords over the years, that must hve been a well put together car model. Thanks for the memories! ;c)
ReplyDeleteThey made that model for for 4 years was very popular, loved the style.
DeleteThe deal with those old cars is that they are worth more now than they were new. However, with all the add-ons over the years, they are missing a lot too.
