pflaming Posted May 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Please forgive me, but on this one our 2009 Honda Accord. Next trip planned is to drive the Phoenix out to Indianapolis and leave it with my daughter. I'm sound proofing these days, then a complete wet sand in preparation for a professional coat of clear colored PAINT! That buffed out will be very eyecatching, maybe even a cat or two!

Merle Coggins Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Mackinac Island is fun. I've been there a couple of times. However, it's in Michigan, not Wisconsin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ggdad1951 Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 bummer you couldn't make your trip near MN coincide with the 50's show...you'd sell your CA place and move here (and we'd have to worry about firecats here then! ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave72dt Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 He's only going to be about 6 I/2 hrs away from it at one point. 3 hrs from me when going through the Quad Cities, assuming he's running on I 80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulu Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 SO . . . westward to: Gloversville, NY. . . If you go in to town heading west on 29a, you'll pass Wilson's garage, next door is a little grey house where my dad was born. He used to trap in those woods for muskrat or something. We lived there in '64 when he was off to war. There's a big new building right across the highway .2 miles further on. That was the site of the wooden 4-room schoolhouse where I attended 5th grade. Dad went to the brick Catholic school down town. One day he trapped a live skunk. He went to school anyhow, but the nuns sent him home due to the smell.
