Sometimes you actaully meet some normal kids . . . .

 . . . and some actually have some talent . Kinda gives you some hope .

We've been having these casual Thursday evening cruise-ins at the local Cabelas for about a year now . I attended a few last fall , and after a winter respite we are back on again as the weather allows . A couple events ago I met this kid with a camera by the name of Connor . Seemed to be able to hold more than a monosyllabic conversation and that immediately put him above your average cat . 

Here are some nice photos he took of my Volvo.

Go over to his new Substack page and check it out . Seems he can actually write a logical coherent thought and is looking for a toe into the automotive publication world .

"Progress is well and fine. . . but its gone on for far too long"

The man said he powered his house with it last week when the ice storm took down the power lines.

Shotshell Primers

Rarer than hen's teeth... 

First time I've seen any on the shelf in six years

About three times as expensive as the last time I bought any .

1920's Dashboard ? ? ?

 Anybody have any idea what make and model this thing belongs to ?

A friend gave it to me a few years back . He found it in the woods somewhere in Aroostook county and had no clue what it came from . I have been unable to match it to anything on the interwebs . From the styling I am thinking mid nineteen-twenties , perhaps a truck of some sort . If anyone has a clue please pipe up .

My Sentiments Exactly

 As seen on the road yesterday

Upper left corner of window reads :
