How Many Old Cars Does it Take???
Well here we are at the end of July. Can you believe it??? It will be Christmas before you know it..... I just don't understand where the time has gone?? But it has and I will be leaving here in the not to distant future for parts and places unknown.. But for now I will answer the question that is the title to this chapter, well not really a chapter, but I guess you could call this a chapter since because of picture limitations there will be a few other PICTURE CHAPTERS to go along with this one. Isn't this just exciting???
So shall we press ahead and if you don't want to press ahead then just keep one hand one the mouse for scrolling purposes and you may do whatever you wish with the other hand. EASY THERE YOU PERVERTS!!!! I meant like drink a glass of wine or an adult beverage of your own choosing which is what I try to do as often as possible as it seems to help the creative juices flow. I am not exactly sure how the wine works as far as my writing goes, but it definitely has some affect on it.
And now on to the answer to the question that begs to be answered. Well the question does not beg because if it did then it would have some semblance of intelligence and obviously a question cannot show intelligence. I even have trouble doing that!!! even if I am not drinking!!!!
And now on to the answer to the question that begs to be answered. Didn't I just write that??? See what happens when I write and drink at the same time!!! The "PUTER" tends to repeat itself!!!
So HOW MANY OLD CARS DOES IT TAKE??? to have a really humongous car show?? Well it takes a whole bunch of them and every year in Grants Pass, Oregon on the last weekend in July at the city park there is a car show called the "BACK TO THE FIFTIES"!!!!! It brings in a great coolection of old cars, odd cars, custom cars, and cars that defy the imagination!!!!!!!
This year I was asked to put Mr. Blue in the show since to my knowledge I had the only GENUINE HUMMBUG within at least 5 miles of the city park. It may have been a greater distance but I do not wish to take literary license with a statement that may or may not be true!!!!!!
Anyway I was up early in the AM on the morning of July 30 so that I could have my coffee, get my act together, pack up some stuff, (NO WINE {:-{ ) get Mr. Blue sort of spiffied up and then it was off to the park so that I could get my place..... I got there I thought early and was I wrong. I was in a line about 1/2 mile long getting into the park. But with my show pass and the organization being what it was I was pleasantly surprised to be in the park and parked with in 20 minutes. then it was time to set up my chair, wander around, take pictures do my OOOOOHING and AAAAAAAHING and then go back and get ready to answer questions.
The show as it turned out was a rousing success. There were cars from as far away as Arizona, New Mexico, Idaho, California, Washington and I am sure some other states, but these I know for sure. I was told that there was approximately 1500 cars in the show. If you started in the morning and just kept going I am sure you could see all of them, but I saw just a fraction and that was an accomplishment by itself!!!!
So after sitting and answering questions and letting everyone that wanted to sit in the car and have their picture taken in, on, or around the car the day FINALLY came to an end and it was back to the Chateau To Go for a much needed shower and a BIG BOTTLE OF WINE!!!!!!!
I will post this story and all the other pictures will be below this story as chapters 2,3, and 4.
