1935 plymouth
here’s another shot of el abuelo’s plymouth from a couple of summers ago. i just liked the picture and the location.
hotter than hell, and on my way to a heat stroke about this time.
i rather prefer his pontiac, but it wasn’t at vail hq that day. maybe he’ll bring it to chicano park day this year. really hoping to go, but i don’t know. not as healthy or up to going out anymore. better half is suggesting that we try another show before then; in between rainstorms on weekends…we’ll see.
been busy. lots going on.
better half has been talking about retiring for a few months.
made a decision a couple of thursdays ago, and told the bosses the next day he was done, and that was it. something about he couldn’t sell his company stock if he was employed, so he took care of that part of the equation.
he still gets up way too early, then spends each morning before the sun comes up, sitting in the jacuzzi, watching the stars, surprisingly not missing the job at all. lol.
now the pressure for me to retire, but i hadn’t thought about it, and i’m not old enough or ready, i guess.
he’s been keeping himself busy with a long list of things he hasn’t been able to do because work always took up so much of his time.
i think the same day he was busy deciding to retire, i went to the dentist. i mentioned a tooth that was bothering me, and the next monday, i was getting a root canal.
never had one before, and had always heard horror stories. for me, it seemed like a more intense cavity filling. took about an hour, a lot of steps, too many shots in the cheek nerves and gums, but otherwise was pretty easy. i guess i complained early enough, it wasn’t infected or whatever makes it worse.
they had a neat little machine that featured an attachment that fit over the drilled out top of the tooth and basically did a little pressure car wash in the empty root space. cleaning and disinfectant.
so i lost my nerve, and i’m ok with it.
now if i can just convince myself to go to a car show and remember how to take a decent picture.
