Out on a new tour only about 600 miles this time
« on: July 22, 2019, 04:48:07 AM »
Out on a new tour. To wife's home town ,they have this annual Motorweek last
week in July.

The handrubbing gave some shine to the paint


Lake Långträsk


Almost midnight over lake Kvammarn


Auxiliary airfield, check  Full tank of 98,check   Crisp night air, check   No cops,check  lets peg the speedo and beyond ;D ;D
That angry cop told me their radar end a 270 kmh and i was over that and he wanted my drivers licence
nitpicking little bastard ::) ::)....Just kidding not with wife in car. Killed a lot of mosqitos with the windshield though

Need this vacation after last week ,handrubbed the entire Galaxie
so my elbows hurts, replaced  some windows in the house, (400 years old pine
timber don't give up without a fight) helped stepson swap headers on his Fairlane.
Flowtec for a 65 Mustang don't fit ::) I had 65 Mustang Hooker Competition on my
66 fairlane but the flowtecs had two tubes hit the firewall had to cut them out and re
route them. fixed the brakes had really weak brakes we replaced everything last year
except drums that where new.....got some good used Ford drums from a friend,voila
we got brakes. Tried to take a file at the new chinesium drums not even a scratch :o

Very nice, Heo. I get to see those sunsets from 38,000 feet. They are stunning. However, other than harassing my flight attendants I don't get to ride with beautiful women often in the right seat on the flight deck.   Enjoy!

Thursday there was a stop on a "poker run" across the bay from
the friends place

A really nice -57 retractable, a local car


I bet this guy regret his fiberglass flares today :D


A rare car you say?


Well here is another one 15 feets away

was the most common car there with two of them ;D whats the odds for that in a small one horse town?

Thursday nights sunset when we was out with the boat waterskiing

Very nice Heo!  This time I got to see actual cars and water  ;)  Those Caddy's are very cool and unusual!  That was when GM was really trying to be the best in the world...

So post a picture of you water skiing!  I'll show you mine if you show me yours.  I just spent some time up in Minnesota, and I gave the new titanium hip a good workout on the lake  :)



I also got to spend some time with Jay, which was a real treat.  Expect good things in the near future on the cylinder head project!

Bill i think it is almost 20 years since i was on waterskiis
My battered body cant stand adventures like that, you
should heard the scolding my Doctor gave me when he
found out i had been riding a horse ::) Nowadays
i just drive the boat or ride along and zip on a cold one

I had worse days in my life. 36Celsius in the shadow, a breeze from
the river, sitting on the float bridge,with the wife having a cold one


The dog enjoying the sun after her bath


Stepson payed a visit with his fairlane


Saw this one cruising mainstreet one night with four blond young ladies in their 20s


58 Ranchwagon outside Hotel Lappland


54 Bel Air a car i allways liked, Ditch the sun and headlight visor, front bumper, and add bigger rear tires

You (and your dog) are living your best life!  I'm amazed at the variety of cars you have around you.

As for doctors, I haven't told my hip surgeon about the adventures yet.  I see him in three weeks  ;D
