Chris, you have to try this. I'm not a fan of moonshine, this is tasty. Not like that crap that @madmike1157 got at the car show the other day.

Most of the times you see a horror movie, you have to pay. All you have to do to do that in Iowa is walk around and look at the women.
:zombie: B-r-a-ins!

Can you imagine a state fair?..........:zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie::zombie:Brrrrrrraaaaaiiinnnssss...

Last year someone made a facebook page of "the people of the IA state fair," mocking "the people of walmart." There were certainly some interesting characters, not arguing that. That being said, this is my family and I taken by my dad (yes he is a professional photographer) last fall at a state park in Iowa near his house (Call State Park in Algona, IA). My wife was born and raised in Algona, Iowa, and I am quite proud. It aint all bad up here, Mikey.



And for you chumps that will say I cant be that pretty, here is another random pic in my photobucket from a wedding reception a few years back when my oldest was a little guy.




And Dave, if you bring Doby up here, you better reach out and let me know when you come. Im 35 mins from IA City, and will gladly meet you out for one of your fancy beers.

See, now you got me all weepy. It was so much easier to dog you when all I had a reference standard for Iweegian was what was in my mind.

Now that I know what you look like,....it'll be tough.













To not compare you to a ken doll. ( At least the Iowa version)

For instance:





**Hey boys and girls! Great news. Mattel toy company announces the perfect mate for those of you with the super rare Alabama version of tattoo'd Biker Barbie Now, for a limited time, you can have an equally limited production "Ken doll".

Announcing "Iowa State Fair Nick" . Just the thing for your tattoo'd Biker Barbie. Imagine the fun you'll have pretending to rob convenience stores,...Setting up your very own mini crystal meth lab (fake crystal meth not included), or imagining going to the grocery store and buying Ramen, and macaroni and cheese with food stamps!

Help Your Iowa state fair Nick take the hood off of his Ken doll sized Mustang, then cut holes in it with your included mini super sawzall, afterwards you can get disgusted, and then stand it in the corner of your Tattoo'd Biker Barbie mom's house spare bedroom (that you're living in.) (just till you get back on your feet).

Supplies are going fast, so Hurry! Order your's today!


** Batteries not included




Now,....all kidding aside.

You have a great looking family, and that's a really beautiful picture. Enjoy the kids, they grow up in a blink, then they're gone. Hopefully, you'll be looking back in 30 years (like me) and fondly remembering that walk when that pic was taken.

Don't worry @95BlueStallion . Mikey is jealous of you, he's old and wrinkled now. I heard that happens when you get older. Get kind of crotchety........

Anybody up?

I'm a late riser this morning, I didn't get home till about 12:30 last night from my daughter's school play.

That's done, I haven't accomplished much with Doby the past couple days with work and school plays.

I have to go to my granddaughter's birthday party at 2:00 today, so I'm hoping to get quite a bit done to the driver's side tub this morning.

I'll post pictures.

Seriously though Nick, I'll give you a holler when I come up that way.

I want to go to Mustang Week next year, that'll be Doby's first real trip.

It's a dedicated 1/2" belt sander, great to cleanly take out pinch welds. I'll send pictures in a minute of what I've done with it this morning, I'm working on the seat belt bracket.

Btw, HF sander, only about $30.

Here's what I got so far, a clean frame rail.
Here's my seat belt bracket I need to modify, taking 2" off of it.
