Old Plymouth, Retired, Digital Camera, and Cooper

[1940plymouth]

I got a digital camera a few years ago, my wife has told me many times, you don't give a retired person a digital camera as they will take loads of photos, but now that we have Cooper and naturally the old Plymouth, there are more taken:)

Here are some that I have taken over the past few years that I hope everyone enjoys. I like taking the photos of the Plymouth with the backgrounds of the mountains and whatever else catches my eye.

One is of Cooper sitting on my Father's laps after I put gas in the Plymouth. Dad said to me when I bought the Plymouth, "What in the h... are you doing with this thing, they were junk when they were new and still junk today"

I have to admit though, he goes with me for rides whenever I ask him to, he just smiles and gets in the car

Great shots Dad and Cooper look like they are really enjoying the outing.

How does Dad REALLY feel about old Plymouths?? LOL!!!

I've only ever heard people say "I wish I had taken some pictures of __________!" so I say keep taking pictures. That's the great thing about a digital camera you don't have to print them all. I enjoyed them thanks

Great shots. Wish I had that kind of background around here. Cooper is a lucky guy. Going to have to start taking my Buster out for rides more.

That's great, and you can never take enough pictures.

My Dad died at 53. I wish he was around to help tinker on my P-15. He would have loved it. Only problem would be that he would be retired now and doing all of the work on my car while I'm here toiling at the office!

NEED MORE PICTURES Somehow they make my day better. Thanks.

Great pictures, keep them coming. I really like the color of the car, very nice condition. The icicles hanging from the visor reminds me of a very cold winter and my frozen mustache. Thanks for sharing.

[Uncle-Pekka]

Great pictures - Thank you for sharing them.

Interesting and beautiful places and situations.

It's so much more fun to look at nice car in real scenery and with people than just the car.

P.S.

Those machine rolled hay stacks seem to be an international sight.

Back in the old days they used to dry hay on piles on sticks on the field here in Finland - Now we got those rolls everywhere, some plastic covered. Also traditional barns they use to keep the hay dry for winter are vanishing.

all this is a sign of the times..they are a changin'...when as a kid on grandads' arm..you cut the hay with a horse drawn syckle bar...then after it dried you raked it with one of those big wide curved tine rakes..then you took it from the field by way of pitch fork loose mind ya onto a sled..yes sled with runner no wheels, wheels would have the load pushing the horse down the hill as you head to the barn. At the barn the hay was taken by pitch fork from the sled, transferred from fork to fork as it was passed to the back of the hay loft..yes the old fashioned way..across the hill to my uncles' place..tractor, square bailer, wagon, conveyer belt to the loft...anyone can put up hay this way...lol

while the round bales are of todays farm technique..I love it here in the south after the wheat is harvested and the straw is cut and rolled..bale after bale glistening gold in the sunset...just as serene as one can imagine.

Thanks for all the comments, here are some more that I have taken, when you all get tired of them let me know and I will stop posting them.

The school house is now a hunting camp, but the school house dates back to the 1850's, it is on a back road up in the mountains. A nice drive with the old car.

Hope everyone has a good day,

Bob

Who's winning the beard contest between you and Cooper?

[1940plymouth]

Niel,

Right now I am, Cooper had his Spring trim last month, I haven't had mine as of yet, but it won't be much longer for me and I will get it done, so that both my hair and whiskers grow back by Christmas time

[Niel Hoback]

OK, so I won't ask about the belly contest.

[1940plymouth]

Niel,

I am winning the battle of the bellies:D

Tim,

Is this the kind of rake you mentioned?

I was given this one a number of years ago and painted it John Deere colors.

Growing up, my Grandfather Drown use to use a team of horses with one like this, which I remember very well. He bought his first baler which was a Ford with a Wisconsin air cooler engine in 1957, he used a 1945 Farmall H to pull it.

I didn't know Santa drove a Plymouth

[Powerhouse]

Where do you think he gets the FLOATING power from? hahaha

Great photos reminds me of my late dog trixi...she was a mini schnauzer, had the ears and tail still too...loved my 39...but only when it was parked...she'd run into the backseat and sleep when I was working on it. too funny.

Enjoy!
