Because you are a lady (and a beautiful one at that) I won't divulge your age, except to say that we were born in the same year.
Happy Birthday kiddo!
We love you.

Well that does a lot of good Brad since a few days ago you broadcasted your age to the whole community. Is everybody's birthday in September?
Have a good one Noodles.?ÿ?ÿ ??ÿ
Aww... Thanks, guys!! ??ÿ
We didn't do much due to Wendell still having a slight issue with food poisoning.
But, this weekend we're going on a car cruise with his new Mustang up to Mt. St. Helens. Then we're headed up to Olympia to do some puttering around the Capitol City for a couple of days. I have a thing for waterfalls and fish hatcheries, and apparently there's a spot in Olympia that has both! ?§
I did go out and get my free coffee from Dutch Bros. (Coffee Chain here in the Pacific Northwest.)
Then, I went to Walmart to go get a few things for some care packages I needed to send out to my friends with cancer and other illnesses.
While browsing the plants, I somehow had my coffee slip right out of my hands, and all over ME. Shoes, pants, etc... soaked with coffee. UGH!!!
I said a few choice cuss words, but then figured well, maybe there's a good reason why this happened. I'll just go to the next Dutch Bros and grab another coffee.
So, that's exactly what I did. While I was waiting for my coffee, I saw on the ledge some painted rocks that a local rock club person painted and left. I had been wanting to find some, and so going to this location = Score!! So see, if I hadn't dropped my first coffee, I would have never came to this location to get a 2nd coffee and wouldn't of ever got to find the rocks. ??ÿ
(Wendell, his mother, and I, have been painting rocks for therapy. We go to her house, have dinner, and paint rocks for hours. Then we hide them around town. Hence the rock connection.)
After my "Rocky" adventure, I went back home, changed, and took Wendell out for some Pho and tea. Something about Pho...it's like it has magical healing potion in it or something. ??ÿ
Black flower rock is the first rock I have ever painted in my life. Not too bad, huh! ??ÿ
Dutch Bros rocks are the ones I found.
Rooster Rock is one of the many that Wendells mom has painted.
Mustang Rock is one that Wendell painted.
What a beautiful birthday story! ?ÿPretty artwork too. ?ÿI love that you hide them around town. ?ÿI can just imagine the secret joy they bring to some one, like a child, or even an older child at heart.
Hi Angel,
Wow, you guys have some artistic talent, especially Wendell??s Mom. Wendell??s Mustang is cool, is it a GT350?
??While browsing the plants, I somehow had my coffee slip right out of my hands, and all over ME. Shoes, pants, etc... soaked with coffee. UGH!!!?
Y??all have fun on your road trip!?ÿ ??ÿ
Angel,
Happy birthday plus two days.
I really like your attitude about the spilled coffee That is precisely how things work. ?ÿA bad thing can become a very good thing. ?ÿMe, for example. ?ÿThe US buildup to join World War II in 1941 was viewed very negatively. ?ÿBut, my parents would have never met otherwise.
A local 90 year-old fellow was engaged in the early 1950's to a local lass. ?ÿShe was killed in a car wreck along with her sister and a niece. ?ÿAt nearly the same time a local young couple divorced after a short, but stormy, marriage. About a year later the fellow who lost his fiancee started to date the young divorcee. ?ÿThey married in 1956. ?ÿThey recently had their 62nd anniversary. Their four children are very happy about that. ?ÿOne of their daughters has taught in the local school district for 35 years and received a multitude of honors for being an exceptional teacher.
"Wow, you guys have some artistic talent, especially Wendell??s Mom. Wendell??s Mustang is cool, is it a GT350?"
Not sure. I don't know what anything means about Mustangs, really. I got laughed at at the car cruise thing because I wanted to buy Wendell a snake emblem like this other guy had on his Mustang. It would have been a "No No", apparently. Then I asked the guy why he named his car "Shelby"?? (He had that name plastered on the back trunk hood.) He looked at me like I was nuts. Oh well. ??ÿ
Wendell's has a "5.0" emblem. And some other stuff. I can't even drive the damn car, cause I don't know how to drive a stick shift. ?
Here's what it looked like when we first bought it. He's done a few things to it since, but not much.
?ÿ

Happy Belated Birthday!!!
?ÿThat is a bad ass car!!!?ÿ 5.0L V8 Base horsepower 460 hp @ 7,000 RPM 6 speed manual. Fast and fun as hell. I would speculate he LOVES it!
As you may have figured out by now, about the same time women go through menopause men go through a mid life crisis. When about the time SWMBO was in the "curse" I was hell bent on buying a new corvette. Ummm that didn't sit to well with her so it never happened. But I'm going to buy a 2109 Tesla?ÿ S when they are available if I live that long, I just have to figure out how to pay for it, sigh.?ÿ ??ÿ

It's a ton of fun. It's my third Mustang, but there's been a 26 year delay between #2 and #3. ?
#1 was a 1967 Mustang Ghia Deluxe. It was given to me by my Dad (well, step-dad, but my real Dad as far as I'm concerned), but my step-sister needed a car at some point. So I agreed to let her use it. About 6 months later, she broke down. We went to rescue her and after my Dad looked it over, he asked her when was the last time she got an oil change -- her answer was, "What's an oil change?" Turns out she ran it dry and cracked the block. None of us had the money to fix it, so we sold it to a friend who fixed it up and entered it into shows.
#2 was a 1989 Mustang LX 5.0. That was my favorite car ever. I was still young, but when the big crash happened and surveying was nil, I sold it so I could stop digging into my savings to make the payments (the insurance payments were more than the bank payments!).
#3 is a 2013 Mustang GT Premium with all the fancy extras and the "Track Pack". It has an aftermarket exhaust system on it and it sounds like a dream (your quoted 460 hp might be a tad low). The only things I've done to it are to remove the stupid tire stickers, replaced the rear decklid cover, converted interior lighting to all-LED, and got it fully detailed. I want to convert the outside lights to all LED (some already are, some aren't) and do something about the wheels (not sure what yet, but that will probably be next year). This is now my favorite car that I've ever owned. I've always wanted to have a Mustang again, but never could really afford to go for it. It's less about age and more about capability, otherwise I would have purchased one years ago.
Here's a photo of "Yoshi" posing at a viewpoint in front of the dangerous side of Mt. St. Helens (and after a little bit of Photoshop magic). 😀
But I'm going to buy a 2109 Tesla?ÿ S when they are available if I live that long
You must be quite the youngen if you expect to be around to buy a 2109 Tesla...
In my world the only color for a Mustang in bluebonnet blue from the 1967 Texas Special Mustsang, unless you are Steve McQueen.
Ladybird Johnson probably had something to do with that as she began her wildflowers along highways campaign back then.
It was a tough decision between Grabber Blue and Gotta Have It Green. Both of those colors are really, really close to the blue and green in my company logo. The GHIG won in the end because it is more rare. Plus I didn't want a color that everyone else has.
Another great color is Deep Impact Blue.
Grabber Blue:

No worries. He drives it like a GRANDPA!! He's probably the slowest car out there on the freeway! ??ÿ

Grabber blue and Bluebonnet Blue resemble enough to call them the same.
The Texas Longhorn Cheerleader with her Texas Longhorn Orange mustang was another spectatular success story.
