We have got us a nasty wet & cold rainy day going on here. Aside from a short mobility van run this morning my day has been spent inside out of the weather. A few days ago in Goderich I spotted an older sleek vintage looking green car parked in a driveway so stopped to take a few photos. It turned out to be a Hudson Hornet & reminded my of the fellow I call Sarge who we met near McNeal, Arizona a couple winters ago. Sarge has two lovingly restored Hudson Hornets he keeps in his garage & here's the blog with photos I did about that..... SERGEANT JOHN & HIS HUDSON HORNETS

RETIRED ROD is doing well since Friday morning surgery & has even managed to put a short post on his blog from the hospital room.
OUR MAXWELL BOY
For the second night in a row I have gone to the place in my mind where I generally store a smattering of blog topics.....and found it empty. As a rule, if there are no current happenings there I can usually slip around the Cranium corner & pull some experiences out of the dusty old brain cell past. Well, even that area seems to be experiencing some technical difficulties. It may be a case of pre-trip doldrums or maybe just a lack of what I consider to be interesting blog material. Blog ideas for me often start in the morning shower. My brain seems to be at it's creative best when it has torrents of hot water flowing over it's head casing, but quite often by the end of the day the old sponge matter is just too tired with itself. Not even an evening hot shower is going to kick it into gear.
A WEE ELF'S LAMP ON THE FOREST FLOOR
I guess it's just one of those night's again. Maybe this too will pass.............
WE HAVE SOME VERY TALL BAMBOO GRASS HERE >>>>>>
GROANER'S CORNER
Last winter Bill met a woman while on vacation in the Keys and fell madly in love with her. On the last night of his vacation, the two of them went to
dinner at the Ocean View and had a serious talk about how they would continue the relationship. "It's only fair to warn you, I'm a total golf nut," Bill said to his lady friend. "I eat, sleep and breathe golf, so if that's a problem, you'd better say so now.
"Well, if we're being honest with each other, here it goes," she replied. "I'm a hooker."
"I see," Bill replied, and was quiet for a moment. Then he said, "You know, it's probably because you're not keeping your wrists straight when you tee off."

ReplyDeleteHappy to know that elf's lamps is the shroom I took copious pictures of in Washington in October of 2006. Always wondered what those were. :)
ReplyDeleteTesting, testing, 1 - 2- 3, yup it's working Al.
ReplyDeleteThat Hudson Hornet is one weird looking kind of car - nice, but still weird looking.
How about an ice cold shower to cure blog block?
Loved the Hornet pics tonight, Al. And that bamboo grass is HUGE! Amazing stuff.
ReplyDeletebeen there!..there are no rules that a post needs to be done everyday..soon you will more than enough material!..we can all wait!!
ReplyDeleteWow Al, you know those big Hornets had a huge six cyl, 300 plus cubic inchs with a two barrel carb. Also a back seat you really stretch out and nap on. A real battlewagon of a car.
ReplyDeleteHey,I have a Blog Block too, It's a piece of 2x4 on my desk that I can pick up and hit myself in the back of the head with, when I can't think of anything to write.usually works fine after that. Be safe out There. Sam & Donna.
We had one of those big, old, ugly cars when I was growing up. I loved it. It was so big, 5 of us kids sat in the back, no problem.
ReplyDeleteWe all get blog-block. I just quit trying to write every day. Works for me. We all deserve a break.... stay safe.
My blog block is usually one of time and energy. When I finally sit down to do something, then I have to spend far too much time on selecting and fixing photos, then putting them in order on the website, then trying to put them into whatever I have written. Besides that, I have no excuse.
ReplyDeleteThe mushroom picture is fabulous! Thanks for sharing. =0)
ReplyDeleteCranium crash, Blog block, creative cramp...Yep..Been there, done that...many times...As I have said before, if I have to WORK too hard at it...it just won't happen. So if I lapse for a couple days without bloggin...I am gearing up for something I will ENJOY putting in type...Happens to us all....Don't beat yourself up over it...Chill out, dude..take a braination vacation...
ReplyDeleteFunny to hear you talk about blog thinking in the shower. I know exactly what you are talking about. I do my best blog thinking/writing in the shower too. Now if someone would only invent a waterproof laptop. LOL
ReplyDeleteOoooh I could SO see myself driving around in that car!
