One of These is not Like the Other!

So while at the National Corvette Museum I noticed oh seven or so new ones in the lobby roped off. I did not get it until I got to the front of one and it said this car was to be delivered to such and such and so and so today. It is an option code and for a K, you can get your new ride delivered to the museum from the assembly plant across the street. You get VIP passes and all of the fluff. I'll admit I applauded when I watched Mr. and Mrs. SWPL drive out of the lobby. Well Mr. rode and museum staff drove it out of the building. If you are plunking down 60K or so, I will applaud ya!

It seems to be a big deal as I watched this as I was leaving. New Vette's being delivered for the delivery option.

Training Sir!

What kind of training? Fire Alarm! Whole lot of beeping in this room today =)

Ya know.....

This is not a good sign! For what this room is costing ya think they could have invested in some insulation or something......

That was a drive!

But I am in close proximity to Indy! This photo shows actual running time of the car. I think it does. I have never chucked a photo from the camera to the tablet and then stuffed onto Blogger =)

See y'all later today!

Gunney Summer on the Road!

Got an email from the CMP today. Last November I and a friend tried to register for a M1 Garand Advanced Maintenance Class. I and my friend Murph were put on the waiting list. 

I'm in! Hope Murph can make it in too. 

The Legend of the Dogwood

The weekend has been a perfect allegory of what this weekend means spiritually. After two days of chilly solid rain amounting to over two inches worth today broke clear and warm.  

The previous owners of this house planted an abundance of trees and flowers that after being dormant over the winter have exploded into breathtaking beauty with new life. 

This is one of seven Dogwoods planted here. I present the Legend of the Dogwood:

At the time of the crucifixion, the dogwood had reached the size of the mighty oak tree. So strong and firm was the wood that it was chosen as the timber for Jesus' cross.
     To be used for such a cruel purpose greatly distressed the dogwood. While nailed upon it, Jesus sensed this, and in his compassion said. "Because of your pity for my suffering, never again shall the dogwood tree grow large enough to be used for a cross. Henceforth, it shall be slender, bent, and twisted, and its blossoms shall be in the form of a cross–two long and two short petals.
     "In the center of the outer edge of each petal will be the print of nails. In the center of the flower, stained with blood, will be a crown of thorns so that all who see it will remember."

 























I hope you and yours have a Happy Easter. 

Happy Birthday Mustang!

The 1965 Mustang was introduced to the "motoring public" on April 17, 1964. Happy Birthday to the Pony car!



Oh, there are a couple around here.
