MrEarl Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 and it will never be the same. Good ol' Dandy Dave paid us an overnight visit and fun was had by all. His visit could not have come at a better time as I was making my last haul of parts from the barn find purchase. So I guess you could call it a working vacation. But it sure made the task of loading and unloading engines and transmissions and doors and fenders much more fun not to mention easier on this old mans back. Plus I think he has unloaded a few engines in his lifetime. No pictures of us working but here are a few of the good times. This guy is a hoot and has a lot of knowledge stored in that head of his. Rita and I enjoyed his stay immensely. Oh and the Cap'n was there also. Sweet Reet and Dandy Dave "just a swingin" out by Buick Pond This guy is the first visitor ever to Buick Gardens to know what these two things were. Anybody else know? We're saying "Cheers" to all the BCA Forum members here. "CHEERS" . And I think this is when I exclaimed "It ain't heaven, but it'll do til we get there" Rita just kept sayin "this guy is funny" "this guy is a genius" "I love this guy" !!!! WATCH THE UPHOLSTERY SON, watch the upholstery!!!!! Elvis like him too, but I didn't get any shots of him with DD. Maybe Dave did. Dave explained to me the difference between a Yankee and a Damn Yankee... a "yankee" is sombody from up nawth. A "damn yankee" is somebody from up nawth who stays. Thanks for the good times and help Dave, have a good flight back to New Yawk. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTX5467 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Mr.Earl, is that cigar gettin' ready to add some "ash" flavor to that beverage?? Or has it already? Dandy Dave's got it "right", angled AWAY from the glass, at least while there's liquid in the glass. Enjoy to the limit of your tolerance, today's and tomorrow's! But y'all probably did that TOO!

Dandy Dave Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) I'll have AlI Y'all know that I was up to watch the sunrise over Buick Gardens the next morning but Mr. Earl was nowhere to be found till the sun was well up. Elvis is fine company while your drinking coffee in the morning. LOL.. Yep. Sur nuf was a good time. Do believe I'll be coming back sometime. Wondering why I did not just stay as It was 24F here this morning. Could have helped Mr. Earl get some of them cars cleaned up and ready to run. They calling for snow up here tonight and tomorrow. Patriotic Sandals are Birkenstocks but looks like I'll have to put them away for a bit. That Aeroplane ride in that big Shinny Kerosene Burning Jet was fine also. We Sur nuff had fun moving parts and getting dirty. I must say, I do believe that Mr. Earl should be know as Colonel Earl as he and Reet had nothing but the best Southern Hospitality a yankee could ever hope for. Dandy Dave!

NTX5467 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 That MUST have been an awesome sight seeing the sun RISE over Buick Gardens!! Sunrises are neat anyway, seeing the colors of the clouds change as the sun angle changes. Plus seeing the shadow angles change on the multitude of vegetation and Buick Hood Ornaments as the sun's sky location changed! Dang'd neat! Glad y'all had an enjoyable trip! Might call it "A DANDY Trip"? NTX5467 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
