Today, I took Frank out to get his annual inspection for registration, and decided that since it was such a nice day, I’d stretch the ride home out a bit and swung by the Vietnam Memorial at the airport. Since I have a cool new phone, it was such a nice day, and I’d always wanted some pics like this, I figured why not?

American Legion Car Show – 2 Jun 20
Had a GREAT time at the American Legion Car Show today! Got to see my good friend Dutch, and hang out with a bunch of cool car guys again. What’s not to love?!
Frank pulled a ‘Top 30’ award, and we raised over $1900 for the American Legion. I might actually wind up joining, as well.
Cars & Coffee – Post Lock Down
Finally got a chance for C&C after COVID-19 Lock Down. Went to Fuzzy’s Tacos and had a GREAT time with all the cool car guys. Went by Stan’s place after and helped stuff goodie bags for the upcoming American Legion Car Show.
Stephen Horton took a bunch of cool pics as well.
Here’s one showing my good friend and optometrist (Ed Grimes and his wife) Frank’s ‘Baby Book,’ with all the gory details of the restoration.
Here’s one of his ‘artsy’ shots – which is my new desktop wallpaper, BTW.
1st Car Show of 2020
Benefit show for one of the guys from the local Corvette club – his daughter has some pretty serious medical appointments in DFW, and money was raised to help offset the costs for transportation and lodging. It was an awesome turn out with 91 cars and raised over $2500 for the Vasquez family.
Stephen Horton took a bunch of awesome pics. Here’s a link to his Photo Album.
Last show of the year
Last car show of the season for me today at Fuzzy’s Tacos. Awesome day, cool car guys to hang out with, great breakfast tacos, and got an award, but forgot my camera… so, all I got are 2 cell phone pics.
Elks Lodge Veteran’s Day Car Show
Great turn-out today for the Elks Lodge Veteran’s Day Car Show at Car Town Hyundai. I had a blast hangin’ out with all the cool car guys and their cool cars on such nice day! Frank even pulled a Top 40 Award as well! Thanks to Stephen Horton for all the cool pics (I was BSing with my pals and forgot to walk around for pics).

Toys 4 Tots at Twin Peaks
Just got back from the Toys 4 Tots Car Show at Twin Peaks – Got a Top 40 award! Had a blast – but then, what’s not to like about spending all afternoon with great weather and hangin’ out with cool car guys checking out all the cool cars?!
2019 Joe’s Bar & Grill Car Show
Had a blast at yesterday’s JB&G Car Show – Frank pulled a “Top 50” award as well. Unfortunately, my camera battery died 2/3 of the way through getting pics of all the cars, along with some of the ones I’d wanted to get while parked on the lawn, but my pal Stephen Horton came through with his pics.

2019 Ruckus at the Rec Camp Car Show
Last Saturday: Took Frank to a local car show. Didn’t win anything, but had a great time. My friend Jordan Barnett bought my pal Jim’s ’63 1/2 Galaxie 500 XL, got it running, and brought it out to the show. It was good to see it finally out on the road. He’s planning on continuing the vision Jim had for the car… I can’t wait to see what he comes up with.
Monday: I ordered a new horn/mounting kit for my Jeep’s Grant Challenger steering wheel, along with a new Mustang hat and complete set of lug nuts (since I can’t seem to find the nice ones I ordered for the Mustang awhile back – lost somewhere in the garage). It all just showed up a few minutes ago. Wow – Summit Racing, knocking it out of the park again!
Cars & Coffee @ The Corral
Went out to a third Cars & Coffee event starting up in San Angelo yesterday! Apparently, people weren’t happy with the change in venue for C&C and decided to strike out on their own with another event – which makes 3 C&C-like events in San Angelo now. Wow! I heard some griping by the high-exotic/Corvette crowd that took over the original C&C and moved it away from Golden Corral to a local bar parking lot – which was to be expected, I suppose. Hey – not everybody wants to go to lunchtime drinking events in their expensive hot rods, I guess.
My pal Gonzo showed up with his awesome ’70 Camaro Z/28. We had a blast BSing and checking out all the cool cars.
