Heading to St. Louis this weekend to see the Misery folks again and attend the all Ford car show. Looks like the weather is on a slight cooling pattern here, starting tomorrow. Hope the same thing happens down there. Don't have the A/C operational in the Fairlane yet.

I'm still not sure if I'll make it this weekend or not. But we are for sure planning on Torquefest next spring in Dubuque. Maybe we can talk some others into that too.

Have you ever heard of the Meltdown Drags? They were held last weekend at Byron Dragway (about 2 hours from here)

Tugs that it is the same weekend as the Gathering. We have a friend with a 460-powered Willys that went there too.

Somehow, I am thinking his response will have the phrase, "hog-breeder" in it somewhere. :)

An interesting warning found on several of the trains at the Transportation Museum in St. Louis.


Then we nearly lost Allan when he ignored those warnings!

I think I heard 116. Too bad it rained in the morning. Jim said they usually pack the whole park with over 200 cars. Oh well, this way we had room to stretch our legs. :)

Anyway, the show was 3rd behind a virtual tie between the Transportation Museum and Ted Drewes ice cream for 1st. Mmmmmmm, Ted Drewes ice cream (in my best Homer Simpson voice)

Any pictures from Jim's collection could result in an infraction so I don't want to risk it.

I got one too, way back in Feb 2010. I promptly stopped posting there. I do like to think i was one of the first to get an infraction for my dangerous behavior and posts. I do peek every once and awhile though.
