And i live a couple of hundred miles north of her

Me and the wife took a trip to Haparanda at the Finnish border today.
A few weeks ago a friend of the wife recomended, The River Restaurant
Never heard of it, not to brag but i suspected it was somewhere along the river....
I Found an 60s brick building with a sundeck that looked to be on its last leg
everything looked like it was decorated by a blind hippie and a sign painted with a spraycan
RIVER.... No way im eating here i told wife, lets get a burger.
Wife that always are positiv laughed and said...Maybe the chef is better than the decorator

Anyway after trying to get a burger or chinesefood with no succes we decided to live a little on
the wild side and went in to the River . First room looked like a Bar at a Biker Club with the obligatory
mirror wall, Jack Daniel and Harley signs , but instead of someones left behind lace G-strings nailed to the wall
there was crocheted table clothes , Wife said i guess you get nostalgic now, grining. Behind the bar was a
good looking blond in leather in her early 20s. How may i help you? she asked the wife. Oh we like to eat
Eat?? okay......Is there a problem with that i asked? No No...not realy but...Folow me she said to the wife
she showed  us a table in the next room and said what do you like to drink? Can we get a menue? So we know what to order
Yes but....Beer, Wine,a drink or what you like to drink before the food? I ordered a Carlsberg hof, wife ordered Ice water to the
blondes pussled look. Okay i find you some menues and of she went. We looked around, the room had the same decorator as outside
furniture was of the sturdy type. Probably to withstand a better barfight. Down in the corner there was a man sitting and sleeping
with a half empty beer glas on the table.
And then i realiced It was not a restaurant! it is the place where Finnish ladies in there 70s go to get drunk.....Clock was 10 past 4 but they where already
happy, laughing and talking loud. Judging by the makeup on some of them they had already started drinking before they left home
I told wife i bet its easy to get laid here in a few hours if you dont are picky
Blonde show up with two wrinkled worn menues and our drinks. Asks wife, are you sure you dont want anything....stronger to drink?
Since the table not stuck to our hands and floor was clean, and the cutlery dont had greasy finger prints we decided to eat.
we ordered grilled chicken with grilled goatchese and french fries
Suprice suprice the food was realy good well made big portions nicely precented on the plate, best fries i have ever eaten
Wife and blond talked a lot  when we paid. seemed genuinly nice


Lets see if we have to bring the night puking

Released my fenders from paintshopjail tuesday, delivered them to another shop.
Were Tommy, an old friend is manager since he closed his own shop, he calls thursday
and told me they are finished



So today i got up early and baked a cake as a gift for the guys at the paint shop and got my fenders home



And here is a big hat pic for Bill Conley so he dont have to ask for it 

I have learnt at lot of new truts the last days

For example. A man my father knew through the classic carhobby sleept at our place
for a few days in the 70s. He was looking at some car he was interested in
but no buy.  One night he raced with me on my märklin racetrac and one of
the controls was acting up so he tried to fix it. and a spring flew away.
A few weeks later he sent me a new controll with the mail  and some MAD books
With spie againt spy if you remember them? Any way i learnt a few day ago that
the man was a SÄPO agent,kind of our CIA everything was an undercover operations
To catch a spy and interogate him and that man was the interrogator........was it a hint
to send me those spy against spy boooks

Through the years i have found odd things in cars. Nuts, dead rats, dead scorpions, But todays find
is the winner........... A crayfish in the torquebox     or rather the empty shell from one. WTF
Was it dumped in a river some time? That explains the extensiv rust

Anyone with a Fairlane 66-67 that can meassure the front framerails
Outside to outside. We have bought a Jaguar XJ12 frontend for stepsons
Fairlane but the car is snowed in for couple of months more so....

Finally the frontfenders and splashaprons for the Packard is released from Paint shopjail.
So i adjusted them with my father over  the last days. It is a big car look how
it dwarfs the Mercedes in the background and my father is about 6FT
A Finnish guy is making the upholstery but due to Corona he cant travel to Sweden
