Old Car Club Gas Station, Located at the Lancaster Fairgrounds..Gas pumps have been restored to almost original condition.

First On Race Day

Linda is at  home watching the news when she sees a report that a (good looking) elderly man is driving down the wrong side of the highway into oncoming traffic. She knows that her husband is coming home from golfing and decides to call him to warn him of this maniac. She gets him on the phone and says "Joe Todd, be careful there is some crazy driver going the wrong way on the highway" He says " No shit, there's thousands of them!!

Drips Oil Drops Grease Everywhere

Got Mechanic Coming

Poor old Nut Thinks Its A Cadillac

You can have your own personalized tee shirt made

“If it ran I would be willing to pay that much”

“We've got everything here you need to fix it”

Cracked Heads Every Valve Rattles Oil Leaks Every Time

Fix It Again Tony

I had a car called a rolls canardly..rolls down one hill canardly get up the next.

Olio: "We've named our Ford car 'True Love' "
Margery: "What's the idea?"
Olio: "Never runs smooth." I think Olio better put a hat on because he has obviously been in the sun to long.

Why must Ford cars be painted red? Because there is a law saying that all tin cans containing gasoline must be painted red.

My car is so old it has two sets of plates
UPPER and LOWER

Gotta live somewhere

A classroom is like a Model T.
It's got an old crank in front and a bunch of loose nuts in the back. (apology to any teachers)

Thanks for Stopping by and since it is Sunday I will leave you with this thought:

THE TWENTY-THIRD (FORD) PSALM

The Ford is my auto, I shall not want another.
It maketh me to lie beneath it.
It soureth my soul.
It leadeth me in the paths of ridicule for its name sake.
Yea, though I ride through the valleys, I am towed up the hills.
And I fear much evil for they rods and thy engines discomforteth me.
I annoint thy tire with patches. Thy radiator runneth over.
I prepare for blow-outs in the presence of mine enemies.
Surely if this thing follow me all the days of my life,
I shall dwell in the bug-house forever.

RockSide Vineyards in Lancaster,Ohio

A vineyard near Lancaster,Ohio in the rolling hills of Fairfield County Ohio

Bacchus and Ariadne.. Bacchus in Roman mythology  was the god of the grape harvest, winemaking and wine. Now in Lancaster,Ohio we have:

ROCKSIDE VINEYARDS located::: 2363 Lancaster Newark Rd NE - Lancaster, Ohio 43130

Drink wine, and you will sleep well. Sleep, and you will not sin. Avoid sin, and you will be saved. Ergo, drink wine and be saved.
Medieval German saying

RockSide Vineyards is Ron and Lynn Rutter’s family-owned vineyard and winery. I’ve been watching them “grow” since 2007 and I must say a very pleasant sight/site as you drive by on Rt. 37.

They are not long, the days of wine and roses:
Out of a misty dream
Our path emerges for a while, then closes
Within a dream.
Ernest Dowson (1867–1900)
Vita Summa Brevi

Wine is the most healthful and most hygienic of beverages.
Louis Pasteur

On a personal note; thinking myself a “chemist” I ventured into “winemaking.” Over several years I made a lot of wine for personal use. Some of the wine was good and some was bad but none of it was wasted…LOL.. One summer I made a few gallons of wine using red raspberries and it was excellent. Over the years I developed a severe allergy to wine/alcohol so I no longer can enjoy a good glass of wine, but I can enjoy the beauty of a vineyard and appreciate the love/work involved in making a good wine.

Con pan y vino se anda el camino [With bread and wine you can walk your road].
Anonymous: Spanish Proverb

Here's to the corkscrew - a useful key to unlock the storehouse of wit, the treasury of laughter, the front door of fellowship, and the gate of pleasant folly.
W.E.P. French

If God forbade drinking, would He have made wine so good?
Cardinal Richeleu

A Photo Tour of The Ohio River Museum in Marietta,Ohio

A short drive  from Lancaster,Ohio to Marietta,Ohio where you  can step back in time to the days of the sternwheeler and steam

In Marietta,Ohio you will find the Ohio River Museum where you can tour the museum and the W.P. Snyder,Jr. Towboat. (plan on spending a couple hours anyway)

The Ohio River Museum is located at 601 Front Street, Marietta, Ohio, one block from Ohio State Route 7, and minutes from I-77. I think I’ll have Linda pay the  entrance fee.

The museum is located on the banks of the Muskingum River  a tributary of the Ohio River.

There are two basic ways to mount paddle wheels on a ship; either a single wheel on the rear, known as a stern-wheeler, or a paddle wheel on each side, known as a side-wheeler.

An old river boat pilot was sitting on a bench near the wharf in Marietta,Ohio when a young man walked up and sat down. The young man had spiked hair and each spike was a different color.... green, red, orange, blue, and yellow.After a while the young man noticed that the captain was staring at him."What's the matter old timer, never done anything wild in your life? The old captain replied, "Got drunk once and married a parrot. I was just wondering if you were my son!" (this joke won’t be found at the museum)

Earliest transportation on the river was by canoe or dugout

A sampling of the many paintings::

How can riverboat pilots use amphibians? As froghorns. Next a sampling of the many/many riverboat models.

DISASTER ON THE RIVER

Time to walk the plank halls.

Q: Do you know what you call a Snail on a Ship?
A: A SNAILER! (sorry)

and a photo of his boat.

Times haven’t changed much.. Mother nature is in charge. FLOODING

For me; the above history sounds a lot like current events..

I will end this post with one final collage. All I can say is the Ohio River Museum is a must see.

A tour of:

will be left for another post…..

Joe Todd and Linda say,”Thanks for stopping by and  we hope you enjoyed your visit.”
