So much for the Baja Fillet idea. 15 lbs bag of them would be great for a crowd. Freezer space limited already. Chicken parts are steeping in the brat-in-law's seasoning mix already. Toadstools the size of tennis balls 
jus right and some grey squashes.
It's BBQ Thursday Night Almost forgot the Habenero sausages.

you got it
I have been ubering my wife around drumheller all day, i’m still lost. And she knows her way around. I dont get it.
Where's that?
I'm sure you're right. Whether the seller is a bs'er or bsing himself, who knows. And I suppose it doesn't matter.
It's on "Save the Mopars - Buy, Sell , Trade " on Facebook. Cool car but don't try to pack us with your 1 of 2 without some documentation. LOL
'69 had the lowest production numbers for the mid-model. Still my guess is the only combos that might have been in the single digits would be those with 440 and mod top options.
Looks like the most rare 69 Barracudas were a Formula S (A53 package) 383 4 speed convertible. Only 7 built.
Hey, what does Zman have?
That makes sense.
In the BOG yahoo group files there are internal production number documents for '68 and '69. But I can't figure out how to read them...

1967 Formula S 383 vert.
Today's big accomplishment was removing the remaining temporary brace. Really not that hard, but felt good to get that out of the way.
Front railing is about all that's left as far as carpentry goes.

I have a small roof to do when i get home. 400 square feet. In metal. Hope the decking is still good.

Just stopping by before hitting the couch to binge-watch a series. OK I'll admit it, Downton Abbey. I always assumed it was nothing I would like, but my Mom was watching the first season while I was down there visiting, and it is really fast-paced and has a lot going on.
Today was a day off, the resort slows down after labor day. Stopped by a popular local site, the Angel Oak. There are estimates that it is 800 years old and the oldest tree east of the Mississippi. It is really five Live Oaks that grew together, and it looks freakish and beautiful at the same time. It is operated by the county and they don't let you sit or climb on it, etc. Pretty awesome to think of all the history that went on at that tree...probably duels, clandestine meetings, Indian pow-wows, who knows? There was a grass-roots campaign to buy up the land around it, at the last minute enough money came in to give it a substantial buffer from all the new development going up.
The gift shop has a screened porch where one or two old black ladies are making Sweetgrass Baskets, out of the marsh grass we have around here. They are part of the low-country culture that was brought over from Africa and aren't cheap due to the amount of time and care it takes to make them properly. I needed one as a gift and my friend's wife helped me pick out a good one and get a good deal on it. The lady who made it is 82 and very interesting to talk to, and nice. She said as a child her mother demanded she make baskets and she got half the money. It really sunk in that some people didn't have the best circumstances and many avenues were not open to them.
Oh, the Fury is running great!

Cool. Thanks for sharing.
We saw the giant banyon tree in miami’s bayside marketplace, it was cool.
Biggest tree i saw in my area was a big white spruce,48”at the butt end. There was enough lumber in it to build a garage.

Like a lot of urban houses of that era, the exterior shutters were reserved for the sides and rear. Front windows got interior shutters - they fold into pockets on the bigger houses. However very interesting you did that. When Society Hill was getting 'renewed', many of the houses on my block got front shutters like you show. Almost all of them on houses that lost their porches. Victorian was just 'old' but Colonial was 'in'. I may have some digital pics - too dark now to take any - and we're getting hit with a little Thunder and Lightning.
That's all neat stuff.
If I had a TV hooked up I'd probably would have watched at least a fair number of that series. Gosh I remember Upstairs Downstairs was a big thing - but wsan't old enough to have watched it.
I've become more intrigued about basket weaving in recent years. There's all sorts of variations and materials and its so deeply imbedded in many cultures. I first got a little more interested seeing how riving oak shingles and clapboards was related to making the thin oak splints(s) for oak baskets.

Just doing what I do
The house I grew up in had a Beech tree in the backyard that was estimated to be over 350 years old. It was 4-1/2’ in diameter, 80’ tall and had a spread of 162’
It was researched by the University of Pennsylvania back in the 1970s for a paper on “Penn’s Trees” about trees still in PA that were here before William Penn founded the State. A large branch came down in Hurricane Gloria in 1972 and when they sliced it and counted the rings it showed 317 years...and it was from the upper part of the tree.
It was estimated to be over 50 years old when William Penn first arrived to found the PA colony.
The saddest part of all is that the state simply cut the tree down in 1984 to make way for the new I-476 roadway and trucked it off as waste along with the house we once lived in. Even sadder is that the tree only sat 10’ from the edge of the giant berm they built 300 yards from the road for noise abatement. They could have easily saved it...but they just didn’t care. The plans said it was inside the line, so it was destroyed.
I watched them cut it down. I felt like the Lorax that day and just wanted to lift myself up by my tail and leave the planet of the fools forever.
One of its seedlings, now a tree estimated to be 240 years old, still stands...60’ from where it’s parent once stood.
