Classic Cars, a Copter Ride, & a Snotty T-shirt

Today was the day that the husband unit worked a shift with the MiniUnit at the Band Booster's concession stand at Kruse. Afterward, we all walked around looking at all the neat cars. I took lots of pics.

First I must address the punk in this snotty shirt...if you don't like our small town, mister... STAY OUT. Problem solved.

Also, I think that I saw some RFC Texans hanging around here:

And this was definitely a pic I couldn't pass up for the vegan hater over at LITGMW (heh heh)...
I mean really - how often do you see "Pork Parfait"??

I have to take a moment to wax nostalgic while I post this little Honda.
This was just like the one I had when I was a kid. Same color and everything. Wow, it takes me back.
See, the thing is, I had horses and this.
I never learned how to ride an actual bicycle until I was about 10 years old...I never had to. The only place to ride was dirt road or grassy pasture - not very conducive to pedaling and learning balance. The Honda and the horse both pretty much stayed up on their own:

Oh! There was a guy making ice cream...without having to wear out his arm turning the crank!
Yankee Ingenuity!

Now for the helicopter ride! MiniMe was only a couple years old when she took her first ride. She doesn't remember it.
She went up in one today and got to sit on the open side. I think she dug it.
Here are some still frames:

Here's a quick video of it:

There were a couple funny signs I snagged pics of:



OK, on to the classic cars
{Yes, reader John...I took many pics!:-D }
Although there are a bunch, I didn't even see one tenth of what was there.
It was truly massive...

And finally,

OK, that's not a "Classic"...It was just my ride home. But I sure was glad to see it, too. :p

The Honda 90s model was my first sickle. It looked just like this one:

My favorite photo is that green MGB. I am such a sucker for classic british roadsters.

Oh yeah! That's a nice little ride!
I was also partial to that cream colored Austin Healey.

What a d1ck with that t-shirt.

LOVE LOVE The Corvettes, but love the PORK PARFAIT more. Can't thank you enough for posting that. I don't really hate vegans...well, I guess I do...:). But more pig for me.

Which reminds me, Gerry you will have to put a veggie kabob on the grill if Annie shows up to Gunstock.
