Powdery mildew(perhaps from an old shipment of mulch), plus air born green mildew (seen on everything for many blocks around) is why nothing I've planted in my backyard seems to grow.

Despite the sunshine this whole neighborhood is infected with both.
I'm on a southern hill.
Cripes.

Ross again

Luxury camping with a 12' X 12' mozzy screened canopy- always having a dry bug free zone to cook and eat in is such a joy!














There's a 15 HP motor hiding under the 9.9 hood, with 2 in my boat and 20HP I could still outrun him solo

Jameson, an Irish Hand grenade. The Jameson is the pin, you pull that glass out and shoot it, the Baileys falls into the Guinness and you shoot it too.

Skip. That’s looks like a great time had by friends. That’s what life is about. Not all the discourse and negativity that seems to have flooded the airwaves.
It must be nice to just motor away from civilization and take in all the beauty this world has to offer.

Thanks for sharing. Due to some significant health issues my ability to do these type of things is over so I have my memories to go on and the memories of others who take the time to share them.
I for one got a few minutes of feeling like I was there with you and your friends.
Keep sharing and thanks a bunch, it means more than you probably knew when you posted the pics.

That looks like it'll clean up really nicely.

I had the darn camera set in blurry mode. Bear came across yard and was going for the trash in the garage(doors were open). I had to go outside and grab the garage door opener out of the car before he got in.

Wow Tony... I'm close to speechless.
Behind the scenes for the last 6 months I've been taking care of my big brother who got me started adventuring 45+ years ago.
Due to his self inflicted declining health, bad money management and hoarding it's been some of the most difficult times I've faced.
I about lost him twice and I happy to say now he's much more stable and in a safe clean apartment. His memories of our trips together are sharp... whether or not he took all his meds today he struggles with.
I agree completely with you about the negativity and crap going on. I find solace and some level of peace in the great outdoors.
My goal in sharing on this forum has always been to set a positive example, and reflect the beauty I see in the world around me.

I'm moved to hear I may have actually done so for at least one person...
Thanks for the feedback Tony- Best always!!!
I'll keep sharing my crazy meanderings.

That '32 Ford looks very, very close to the one in American Graffiti. Hopefully its has big lumpy cam, 3 pedals in the floor with a gated shifter.

I didn't get to hear it run
But it does have 3 pedals in the floor and the piston shift. The dash was also signed.
