We have a winner!

Drewbie came up the stairs shaking his head.

“Someone ate my mummified fruit bat!”, he exclaimed. Drewbie was holding out a rectangular empty tin box.

Dad stared at him for a moment, a look of incomprehension on his face.

Hudo In Times Square

What a great picture.  I’ll bet it’s been a long time since Times Square has seen the likes of Heidi and her 1930 Hudson.  Heidi will be part of the Fall Meet in Hershey PA from October 7 – 10.

The Greatest City in the World

Despite the accident with her and hand and all the mechanical issues with Hudo, Heidi has made it to New York City.  She has driven from Berlin to NYC by going East, which is quite an accomplishment in itself.  Not to mention that a lot of people would consider just visiting NYC as an adventure worthy of the bucket list.  However,  Heidi is still on her adventure to drive around the world.  Best of luck to her, and enjoy the pizza.

Clowning Around

When it comes to food, Mongo has  no pride.

Mongo and Mushrooms

The winter rains had finally returned to Seattle. There would still be some very nice weather in the fall season, but the long dry summer had ended.

With just a sprinkle of water, the grass had started to green up. As Mongo, Spork, and Dad walked down the alley to the school yard, Mongo began rustling the grass and taking big bites of the new green blades. Dad remarked to himself that some little mushrooms had even popped up with just one night’s rain.

Mongo was so excited at the appearance of fresh grass, he gobbled up big mouthfuls of greenery all the way to the school.

When the crew got home, Dad fed the doggies, and fired up his coffee machine. Then Dad went to the door and asked “Who wants to get the paper?”

Mongo Tries to Make Popcorn Again

Dad came home to find a very guilty looking Mongo.

“Hi Buddy.  What badness did you do today?” asked Dad cheerfully.  Mongo was holding Puppy in his mouth, so the response was garbled.  However, Mongo was acting very guilty, so Dad just followed him as he slunk out of the kitchen and into the living room.

There in the living room, right in the middle of the persian rug, was a pile of open bottles and shakers.  These things had all been in a cabinet.  Dad wondered if Mr. M had figured out how to open cabinet doors.  If so, Dad had a lot of childproof locks to install.  Or Drewbie could have left the cabinet open.  That might be a more plausible explanation.  Dad would have to ask him when Drewbie woke up.

At that moment, Mongo sidled up to a cardboard box on the floor in the kitchen.  Mom-mom had been cleaning out a cabinet and had put several expired items from the cabinet into a box for disposal.  Mongo had gone shopping in the box.

The Accident

Here is a link to a post by Heidi’s daughter on Heidi’s industrial accident.  It reminds me of the time my grandfather tried to save some time by applying belt dressing to the fan belt on his Cadillac while the engine was running.  By the time he was all bandaged up, he did not save any time, but he did add another story to the family’s legacy.
