Will People Be Interested In My Blog?

Well, here goes:  I am putting myself out there, and open for suggestions, jest, ridicule, and, mostly, encouragement.

1.  Are you interested in hearing about, and seeing pictures of my travels?

2. If you own a trailer, or if you yearn to own one, would you be interested in decorating ideas?

3. Do you need some encouragement on doing things yourself, like backing up a trailer, fixing and building things, etc?

The Tow Vehicle of My Dreams!!

It finally happened!  Just before Christmas, I purchased the tow vehicle of my dreams. Years ago, I decided the perfect car for me to pull my Airstream Trailers, was a 1956 Ford Parklane Station Wagon.  
I have had these two pictures in my files for years, and
decided, way back when, that either color would be okay. 


Well, here it is!  

This was probably the only one of these I could ever afford.  The owner had put a new engine and transmission in it, but they weren't hooked up!!  My mechanics have worked on it for two months, and it is finally running.




My first test drive was last week.  It has been many years since I drove a car without power steering, and with such a HUGE steering wheel.  In this picture the "suicide knob" is still on the wheel.  Remember what it was for?  With a "suicide knob", you could steer the car with one hand, while your other arm was around your honey!

Next blog, I will hopefully figure out how to post a video, so you can hear my siren!
