Where are we today ?
Cold again last night but no problem, sunshine and blue skies all day here. Water hose was partly frozen this morning but as soon as the sun hit it all thawed out by 9 am. We always have water on out tank anyway so no big deal.Part of my early walkabout took me to Junction Express adjacent to the campground, Check out their chicken prices again we thinking of some Broasted Chicken again before we leave the area tomorrow. As I have said before only here and Anna Mae's in Ontario have we found it really, really good so we take it when we can get it.
As I was about to leave spotted this 1949 Plymouth Convertible that pulled in caught my eye and just had to go check it out. Amazing all the great old cars we can see when here in the southwest. This one was still mostly original condition other than paint and a few other minor things. The original flathead six cylinder, interior looks pretty original too, column shifter so nice to see these every day drivers just being driven around town.

Being our last day here Suzie sorts the laundry and I take it to let the machines do their magic and enjoy my e-reader in the process. Just over an hour 2 loads done and while I am doing this Suzie cleaned our house top to bottom, wow it looks like new again!
After a bite for lunch, puttered around a bit, put our Weber Q away, checked tire pressure, emptied waste water, water hose away. Then enjoy some more reading in the warm afternoon sun, out of the cooling north wind.

Thanks for stopping in again and hope you had a great sunday too.

It is fun checking out the old cars but aren't you glad you have a much more modern one to drive around town?
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice to have one of my old cars from the 50's still , but the newer one are more practical.
DeleteI love old cars. I learned to drive in a my Grandad's 1940 Ford. If I remember correctly, I only stalled it a couple of times.
ReplyDeleteI learned to drive in my Grandad's 1956 for whenI was 10 years old. Such memories...
DeleteThe old cars always had a character of their own. Heck you could even tell the type of car just by the sound of its engine.
ReplyDeleteThat chicken really does look tasty.
Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
They all had a different sound and distinctive styling for sure, today they at all the same.
DeleteThe chicken awesome...
That Plymouth is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSafe travels to even warmer temps.
Thanks we are looking forward to new places, new faces and warmer temps.
DeleteJim loves identifying all the old cars as we drive around town. Amazing how many are used just for regular use. That chicken looks marvelous.
ReplyDeleteIn Arizona no salt on the roads so they can pretty well last forever just keep fixing.
DeleteChicken excellent, yes ....
I never thought about your water line freezing that far down in AZ. I've always like Broasted Chicken as well.
ReplyDeleteWe are in the high desert here at 3,500 feet so it does get cold at night.
DeleteLove the name of this blog - Truth in advertizing I'd say. I'll have to spend a little more time here till I can get my own road trip out of the driveway.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us Bob, get on the road sooner than later, it is Awesome.
