MY TURN TO COOK DINNER TONIGHT

When a guy has to cook, there is nothing like nachos. I love to pull out the old diner platters (this one was 50 cents in a yard sale).

NO WORK OR PROJECTS TODAY. WE WERE IN MINEOLA, TEXAS TODAY AND RAN ACROSS THIS SURPRISE CAR SHOW

Rat rods and hot rods are so cool. The guys that build these are so creative. A picture does not show all of the detail and creativity that goes into them. This is on my bucket list!

THIS THING REALLY SOUNDED GREAT


THESE FOLKS HAVE LOTS OF FUN BUILDING THESE HOT RODS


IT'S GOTTA BE FUN TO DRIVE A ROD LIKE THIS

The detail was really cool on this one

THIS LITTLE ROD WAS NICE

Lots of work went into this little rod

THIS 1968 FORD WAGON IS BEACH READY!

Love the surf board

THIS FORD WAGON IS A REAL SLEEPER WHEN YOU POP THE HOOD

This 390 CI engine is looking good

WHAT A PRISTINE 1961 CHEVY CORVAIR 95


IF YOU EVER FIND YOURSELF IN MABANK TEXAS, DROP BY SAC-A-BURGER !

They have the old fashioned stuff. Burgers, fries, chili dogs, corny dogs, tacos, pizza, and almost anything you want.

IT WAS NICE AND COOL INSIDE


IT'S HARD TO EAT JUST ONE OF THESE BURGERS


THE WEDGE FRIES ARE SO FRESH AND TOO HOT TO HOLD


IF A CHILI DOG CAN MELT IN YOUR MOUTH, THIS ONE WILL

ANOTHER OLD HOUSE IN KEMP TEXAS

This old house caught my eye while driving home today. I like the detail in the front gable. For an old house like this, it looks pretty straight and level.

THE PLASTIC WALL IS GONE AND THE CORNER IS ESTABLISHED

The joint tape starts to bring things together
