We Picked Up Linda's 1965 Mustang
Stacey had a few minor twitches yesterday afternoon and we had gave her
a 5mg. Diazapham around 5:15 and another at bedtime, so Linda and her
were a little slow getting up. Stacey seemed OK, so we decided to go to
the Corner Cafe for breakfast. We ate and then drove towards Albany to
pick up the 1965 Mustang. Alvin Pharis had been working on it all winter
when he wasn't working on something else. Linda had worked it out so he
could tinker with it in between jobs so he wouldn't charge as much.
Linda paid and drove the car towards Burkesville. She stopped at the gas
station and filled the tank, then I drove it the rest of the way to the
farm. We pulled it in front of the garage and washed the outside, then
Linda climbed inside and washed the windows. I did a little mowing while
Linda and Stacey drove the Mustang down by the creek and parked in the
yard. They cleaned the interior and had a 'picnic', really they were
just sitting in the sun by the creek on a quilt. Linda was shopping by
reading the Mustang catalogs and picking out stuff she wanted to order.
After
the car was clean and I had finished mowing, we drove the Mustang to
Columbia and ate at Sonic. Once we were done eating, we rode around town
a little then headed back to the farm. I was impressed with how well the
old car drove. There are some items we need to address before we take a
longer road trip, but overall it wasn't too bad.
