Not that all the other cars and trucks you show aren't cool but my eyes are drawn to those we have seen some of the history on. I'm diggin it...
 
A beautiful night. The Dermatologist had his way with me. Face burning, didn't feel like a roadster ride tonight. Here's the newbies.

First night out for this big block '55 from the Greg S. collection. A turbo diesel rat Chevy sedan with bags in back. Nice striping on the back. A Nova, the ugly years. Sorry, just my opinion.

Nice pic's.....thanks again!

Dermatologist Arrrg. Cut 2 things off me Monday for biopsy. Trimmed the bottom jaw line of my beard tighter this morning and see something I don't like....going on Sunday. Yah, she has Sunday hours.

Stay on top of it. Those of you that don't go should make an appointment. Skin cancer is no joke. It killed my financial guy. I think Jimmy Buffet as well.
 
Face all healed. G.P. yesterday looked me over (annual physical) and said I'm good.

A little cool last night. It gets dark early now so the roadster stayed home. Too many deer on the semi rural roads. Here's some cars for y'all.

Starting off with one of my favorite late models, Second Gen Chevy II, A decent rag, One of Cory's big block trucks, LS in a Ford shoebox, a complete street rod. And last, Flyin' Brian's purchase of the week. Tunnel rem small block in a well used straight axle '64 Chevy Deuce. Got it one day, the next day on the dyno it kicked a rod out the side of the block on the second pull. Such is Brian's luck.

Up here, most of the hot rods are put to bed for the winter. So, nothing Thursday night. I went to another Booya Saturday and there were a few cars there. Are Booyas popular in your area?

You get a great big pot, like 20 gallons. Fill it with veggies and beef, like ox tails. Put in grandma's secret spices. Up north, not too spicy but very salty. Cook for a day. Next day dozens, to hundreds of people follow the aroma, and a good one it is, and they come over, bringing desserts. Friends, relatives and neighbors show up. And some people you never saw before. You need lots of tables and chairs. Don't forget beverages. Everybody eats too much. All for free.
Some churches and civic organizations put on Booyas as fund raisers.

That's the way I see it.
 
Getting late in the season but a very nice night. Flyin' Brian brought his buy of the week. A '66-'67 Chevy Nova, big block. Very nice rig. The orange Yenko copy was outstanding. It broke about a mile from Greg's. Looks like the .800 lift cam ate a lifter. Don't know anything about the '55.
