If you ever feel like spending the money, Hoosiers....don't bother with the others. We've been trying different brands and while the Hoosiers are a bit tough to get a hold of since production is limited, and they are a few more bucks than the alternatives, they are soooooo much better. Great to see you have fun! HS

That left a mark, Grahame...lol. I have seen some pretty nifty electric track cars over the years...not many, but a few special ones. This Charger is not that. More power to whoever wants to own one (no pun intended...well, mostly). It just won't be this camper... HS

Well, that's on me, @TMoney... I grabbed a dodge durango for room for the suitcases and my familiarity with the user layouts. Would have LOVED to have had my dated porsche with me (6M)...I just went through the suspension and it's really singing. The turbos flash at 3k rpm...old school. Kinda entertaining... AWD makes it tough to screw up too much. HS

That sounds awful, swt61...so sorry. I had a bad food induced event a couple of months ago and I empathize fully! On a lighter note, we did a PCH tour starting outside SF at Half Moon Bay and ending in Santa Barbara before flying out of LAX. Lovely trip and we got lucky with the weather...or is that oxymoronic with CA?!? This was my favorite dish...little neck clams and chorizo...a play on mussels in wine sauce...lovely dish! The chefs at Pebble Beach can burn! HS

Right up there with Stellantis aggressively pulling the V8 from the U.S. market and raising prices...stock down 40% or so last I checked. The turbo V6 (Hurricane) is not going over well in pickup trucks here and that was their bread and butter profitability / cash cow. Also, milking the HEMI vehicles with little R&D over 18 years and subsequently force feeding electric vehicles. I think offering them as an option along side ICE and allowing the consumer to transition would have been the better move here. Funnily, Stellantis is now threatening to bring back the 392 (6.4L) V8 in a couple of U.S. vehicles and Tavares has announced he won't renew his contract that ends I think in Q1 26...not soon enough. The board should boot him... HS

Oh my..... HS

I'm having Mr. Mom flashbacks... HS

Godspeed, Ron Ely... May you always have your "Jane" and never run short of vines...the Tarzan of my youth! HS

Chloe is cute as a button! HS

Marcus King was all I hoped for. Took a few years to finally catch him in town...worth the wait. HS

The Dinner Belle is Beeville, TX of all places. There for a racing event and found this little family owned gem. The candy their jalapeños and bacon. I may not live long but boy was it worth it... HS

$$$ shot!!!! HS

My BIL treated us to a birthday dinner at a new "live fire" restaurant, Creedence. Live fire is all the rage in H-town these days. Fortunately, the service, drink and food were very good. I figure they'll be better in another month or so as they've only been open a month... Bone-in ribeye, BBQ shrimp, stuffed red snapper and coconut cream pie were a few of their dishes... HS

Godspeed, Mr. Frank Fritz (American Pickers)... https://www.hemmings.com/stories/american-pickers-star-frank-fritz-dies-at-age-60/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=EDaily&utm_campaign=2024-10-02&uemlid=5a40c51c3d4254d5f58319200ca2ac8bb44b94437291b38bd1d989d5554293b0 HS

A few plates from a New Mexico golf trip with friends.... HS
