The summer sun is fiery bright these days. If like us you are in the path of the solar eclipse tomorrow, be careful and practice safe sun...
Last Sunday was the annual Sandfest of castle building and beaver tributes. Impressive artistry but we missed the old car show ---- that was only Saturday! :( :( Otherwise, Pat had another attempt at bird rescue. And the huge Summerfolk Music Festival got everybody folkin' wet...
In practical car news, there's a question of whether to get the timing belt changed on the Eos. That's the toothed thing in the next picture --- who knew? And Pat's Red Rio was sold almost sight unseen in the rain! Great car, now in our Haul of Fame.
In fact, the rains came off and on for most of the week. But in Mennonite country the grain still gets stooked by hand --- how many stooks could you do in a day? Also in the wet, who's gonna win this drag race between horse vs. horsepower?
Then (relief!) a huge car show --- the biggest Mopar (all-Chrysler) extravaganza in the country. 3,000 absolutely gorgeous works of automotive art outside, another 40 pampered ones inside. Where else can you get a tail light from a '38 Plymouth? First some handmade ice cream. Shaken, not stirred by Deere --- John Deere. Then like this two-way Ramlet --- any direction is forward!
Colours like never before or since...
More fins than a day at Marineland...
Dream big...
Classic two-tone top (the vinyl roof, not the driver!)
Best In Show --- which is Pat's, which is the Car Guy's?
Overcome with nostalgia and dangerously close to buying something, I was dragged away to the safer Kid's Fest in Kincardine. Kites are cheaper than K-cars! But don't worry, there's always some Road Runner lurking...
