Still driving, but not like this-

Galen- " Too many take this stuff too serious. " Life is too dark with no laughter. This board is often very humorous.

First Galen said- " His crap doesn't even make me laugh any more. " And Duffy turns it right around with- "....I have no choice but to pitch this to the reality t.v. producers.... "marble mafia"...don't forget its my idea... Thanks Duffy, a good laff is always worthwhile.

Both my sons love to deal with math in their heads. Probabilities & Profits. Yes, they have access to all kinds of current electronics. They use what they need. Both have small businesses that they run now as adults. When they were toddlers My Pop taught them math by playing a money game. He would give them handfuls of coins, varied - pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters and asked them to add them up. Tell Grand Pop how much there was. When they got it right they got to keep the money. They learned to always get the right answer in no time. Both, now grown men, still love to play mind games with math. The older one, Adam, plays cribbage for fun. There is all kinds of number relationships in card games. Brady, the forty year old, is playing the same 'Pocket Change Game' with his two year old daughter. She's getting the hang of it already. Making money is a good incentive towards learning math.

Hey Stefan- Thanks for the alphabetical laff! Just what we needed here in the middle of Maximus the snow storm.

Another Great One from Steph- I can hear the tune as I look at the two of them.

Boy Greg, Mia is indeed a cute little sweetie. She's certainly has beautifully expressive eyes. Enjoy these early years. They will be fun & easy. Get yourself a good pair of running shoes ready for when she hits her teen years.

Boy Mike, you sure have one heck of a memory. Yes Hansel, we bought two very similar dolls at a Skinner Auction in the '80's. The marbles that were in them were about the same level as well. Later we sold them in our Gold Medal Video Auctions. Ah, those were the days. .

Happy Birthday Gnome Punter Just what we needed here in the frozen northeast- a reason to celebrate something. .

Hey Dani, Happy Birthday from the Northeast! This is your day Girl, Have At It!

My Wife's whole family will be here for dinner- Should be a good day. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Hello bayonet Auctions " offered at the generous starting bid of $5000.00. " Do you have a ' Buy It Now ' price in mind?

These guys must know what day it is. They slowly moseyed into my yard this afternoon. They are not particular about canned versus homemade cranberry sauce. It's all in the gravy. Everyone can be thankful for turkeys!

Yep, you got me. After school & weekends I pumped gas at Harry's Gulf Station. Those days you cleaned the windshield & checked the oil too. And- Spoke like an Employee to Every Customer. Thanks Stacy, I loved it for sure. What I wouldn't give for a week to remember how to drive it- and another week to have a blast squealin' the tires & snap shifting! .

How very nice Winnie. The marble is really beautiful, ethereal as well.

Ah Ha!.

Bob, The Disaster started with a 312 Ford block out of a '57 T-Bird. Teenage hands did all kinds of novice speed modifications. Dual coil Mag Spark, hot cam, double valve springs, even lakes pipes with caps. Terry, Thanks for the compliment. It sure was a fun car at the time. I really like the low roofline of the Deuce. When you look at the pictures you can see the love of years of partnership. After a few years these ol' cars become part of the family. My son & I share most of our rides. He keeps this 1961 WM300 Power Wagon at his place. We bought it together about 18 years ago. It is road ready. We maintain up to date insurance, inspection & registration on this one. .

Well, it took some searching to find these pictures, but this 1954 Ford Hot Rod preceded the Triumph TR3A. Well known around town at the time as ' The Dagooed Disaster ' Reversed shackles and oversize snow tires for traction. This honey was as fast as could be. A steady drag strip winner. Built & driven by a very young me. A heavily modified '57 Thunderbird engine made it haul ass. This was completed, painted & wrenched, and then sold so I could buy the Triumph. It's easy to see why I moved on. .

You're right on the money Bob, I had the wrong date for that picture. Here is the 1966 Plymouth Convertible - It's all one color now too...... The Road Runner is a 1971. .

Yep, sure was dark green. As they used to call it- BRG British Racing Green. Too bad about the old black & white pictures.

Here is a photograph of my 1959 Triumph TR3A. The pictures were taken in 1962. It was very successful at the race track. Road rallies & drag strip too.

We're still holding a few nice ones- this 1971 Plymouth Road Runner and this 1959 DPW 300- I've owned the Dodge Power Wagon since 1969.

I do still have my Red Popeye Box- It is one of the nicest I have ever had. These exotic Popeyes are the original marbles that came with the box. .
