Last Saturday I took a ride in a 97 year old Ford Tri Motor plane at the Toledo air show. My brother in law has never flown before so we seen that plane was offering rides and signed up. Was an interesting experience, I should have worn earplugs though as it was extremely loud. The airshow was pretty cool aside from the owner of the only P51 Mustang that showed up didn't put it on display after it flew. I really wanted to get close to it to check it out as it's my favorite plane. I got a bad sunburn unfortunately, been dealing with that the past week.
Yesterday we hit the annual neighborhood sale. I scored a mechanic/detailer seat for $5, just needs new wheels and I'm going to put a new seat on it. Scored some star trek books and other things too.
There's a company, I think in Texas, that has restarted production of the Delorean DMC1 after a stash of parts were found. I read about it in car and driver or motor trend and I remember the price of the new ones was a bit much . Another company is retrofitting electric motors into old Deloreans. At a local Cars and Coffee show last October a trio of Deloreans showed up, one had over 300,000 miles. The owner daily drives it.

Bidding is up to $7900. There was also a Dale Earnhardt jr edition too https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2004-chevrolet-monte-carlo-ss-dale-earnhardt/
I seen one of them locally recently and had to look it up to see if it was an actual car or one someone just put graphics on.
I'm beat. A friend and I dug up the plants and split them today. Happy we were able to save so many plants. Rose of Sharons unfortunately no one wanted.
NASCAR Reddit posts a lot of news as does Jayski.
My current crop of drivers I root for are Josh Berry, Shane Vangisbergen, Ross Chastain, Connor Zillisch, Ryan Blaney, Brad Keselowski and any other Chevy and Ford driver. Used to root for whoever drove the #43 but since they went to Toyota I root against them. That number on a foreign car just doesn't seem right.
I just find it funny they would rather buy a similar plant instead of putting in a few minutes of sweaty work. I'm pretty much done with it. I'd love to save the rose of Sharons but nobody wants them so I guess they go in the dumpster. I've had my fill of dealing with the house and people. Just glad the new owners have a lawnmower and will be mowing it themselves.
I find it astounding that I can't give plants away for one reason, people would have to dig them up. New owners are finally taking possession of a house I mowed last year and they are going to redo the landscaping and what I don't take myself will be going into a dumpster. Keep hearing from people yeah I want free plants cool, oh I have to dig them up nevermind. Your going to have to dig a hole anyway if you buy the same plant from a nursery. It's maddening. Some of the plants go for about $30 and garden stores and nursery's.
