That's right down the road from me and I have never seen it. I am going to have to get out more often. Do you recall the approx mile post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 It's a little early here in this part of Tennessee for Fall foliage. This tree in front of my house is just starting to turn. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, have you ever tried to get sap off your 5k paint job? I've got fifteen pine trees, and four large scrub oak, the evergreen oaks shed leaves and acorns all year round. Rain , snow or blow. Touche, sir! Point taken. In my derfgence I should say that I have three fir trees and one ponderosa pine on my standard city lot, all about 60 feet tall. I don't rake up the pine straw. Never have in the 36 years I've lived here. I turn the soil under the tree over in the spring and plant acid loving vegetable. I co collect a shopping bag of pine straw every spring which I use as a campfire starter ion combination with hand sanitizer. The pine cones and sap aren't an issue because my driveway iOS on the other side of the yard. In an area which is mostly coniferous trees we do have one deciduous tree which is only found ins the Pacific Northwest coastal area from the British Columbia lower mainland down to about Reading in California. In an otherwise green environment, the vine maple provides a vibrant splash of colour, mostly yellow with some orange and red. Too late for a photo though. The leaves are large and a wind storm last weekend basically stripped the vine maples in my neighbourhood . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't run right, I put a set of plugs in it and got it smoothed out but I think she is now having battery problems. Hi Guys, Sorry for my absence. I’ve been busy with work and taking care of my daughter who was in a car accident last year. The summer flew by so quickly and the Ford hasn’t been out. Thanks for posting again this year, I love the pics. Jack is correct, I’ve been having issues with the ‘57 and waiting on some help to get the battery checked. It’s a 4 year old Optima and I think it’s dead. Also need to test it after Jack put plugs in it. She tends to have issues with a rubber fuel accelerator on the carb, so could be that also. Was running rough this spring and I haven’t gotten her sorted out yet. I also seem to have issues in the spring when I store her full of non-ethanol. I don’t think she likes it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victorialynn2 Posted October 29, 2021 Author Share Posted October 29, 2021 Didn’t get the Ford out, but do have some pics. I grew up with dad in New Hampshire and had these trees planted when I had the house built in 1991. Fall is my favorite season. Oregon isn’t as colorful, but we do have some pretty color. Took my daughter for a ride the other day to see some color. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear about your daughters accident, hope she improves. The leaves have just not really changed yet hear on Long Island, it's been pretty warm. It's not the same with out my four legged riding buddy since he passed on looking for leaves, but I will give it a go next week and see what I can find with my new ride. Here is a picture from last year with my buddy Sammie and my 50 Chevy. The Chevy went on to a new owner, I needed the space for my new/old ride and Sammie went to doggie haven, I do miss him a lot!

John348 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I did not want a dog for that reason, they just don't seem to live long enough. I was visiting my Father in Florida 15 years ago and when I came home he was here. I miss the drives with, but I did get to enjoy that time with him. Hopefully I will get some good color shots this week. The weatherman says we are going to have some good weather all next week starting on Monday, so I should get some good fall photos. I am going to head up to Teddy Roosevelts House about 20 minutes away I always manage to find some great trees changing color around there 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never had a pet of my own, but I do know at least three individuals/couples who's dogs I've seen go through their complete life cycle, and it makes the time go by very fast. In each instance, I vividly remembered holding and petting them when they were first brought home a rambunctious small puppy when they had to be put some 20 years later old, frail and tired all the time.

oldcarfudd Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Our fall has been very dull this year. The leaves on the trees are staying mostly green until they appear on the ground as a dead-looking brown. This is the best I can do. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Bloom Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 The forecast says it will get below freezing tonight, took a break from bringing plants in and getting ready for what we know comes next...... a quick jaunt around the neighborhood and back roads before dark. I’ll console myself later with a glass of wine and daydreaming on Zillow at houses in warmer climates. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame on me that it took me years to figure out that coolant needs to be changed (50/50) every 2 to 3 years or any engine with aluminum is going to be in trouble.

AJ two things Model A guys will discuss endlessly are oil and coolant approaches. Supposedly straight water cools better but this car doesn't run hot. Was nice to see what came out was not really dirty. But three or four seasons of topping off with water dilutes things a bit another thing to keep in mind if your driving a bit. Protection to -20 or -40 is a safer feeling than -5 or 5 above here. We get a few sub zero nights every year even in central CT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
