A brush with labeling

The old faithful Phillips electric tooth-brush of mine finally gave out. My dear wife Karen and I had spotted a good sale on two-in-a-box on our last trip to BJ’s Warehouse, so off I went on a Friday after work while she was still on her shift at the hospital. Where might the identifying dot…

One last look at the cars that visited

I liked looking at the cool cars. I thought this baby reminded me of Back to the Future. I knew not that American Motors made a lift side door model. In the early 1980s I owned a beige AMC Hornet hatchback. I did not like it much. My bad. It was interesting how the cars…

Not just cars, but trucks, too

Vintage trucks hung out around my place in the world this past weekend, too. The history of cool vehicles pre-dates me. Finally, something. Ha. What’s the difference between vintage, antique, classic and old? How much you take care of something, maybe? This one probably isn’t a truck, but definitely is cool. More tomorrow.

Hoods up!

The parking lot of the Holiday Inn at the crossroads of Electronics Parkway and Seventh North Street is one prime place to check out the classic cars gathered for the yearly Syracuse Nationals show.

Better off red

The vintage cars are in town for the annual party that goes by the name of The Syracuse Nationals. When I got off from work from the library Friday, I took a quick left on Electronics Parkway. I know from the past few years that the auto owners like to gather in the lot of…

My wife chimes in with her great taste

Did you see the new decoration?, my dear wife Karen wondered one day of a piece she added to the side alcove, under the overhang, right on the edge of the backyard. Yes, I did. Did you like it? Yes, my heart is into her sense of what goes best with our life.

Happy dog, happy me

Everybody’s a critic. Even Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle had to look over the equipment that Joe Bury brought to take care of our gutter/fascia problem. She’s a good guard dog, our cherished rescue mutt.

We joined the crowd for the crew at Lakefest

The big party down at the shore of Onondaga Lake drew in my dear wife Karen and I this past weekend. They call it Lakefest. We called it a nice chance to grab a bite and watch people out on the water. A lot of people obviously worked hard to get ready for this shindig.…

Hello again Custom Taylor Band

My dear wife Karen and I relaxed from our work week Friday with a trip to visit the little pub in the Maplewood Suites just a few short blocks from A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville. I sure do appreciate her hours matching mine since she move from the big hospital in…
