I call it, “everything that was important to me fiddy years ago”, my 69 Tonka Dump & Rockem Sockem Robots, 72 Typhoon, and a Cox Sandblaster of unknown vintage; really wish I still had my Matador Police Car, Matchbox motorized parking garage & Lost In Space robot, but I’m still pretty happy with what I managed to hold onto

I think it's all actually more important to me now

Took the family out to the coast to watch a SpaceX launch.

First picture from left to right: the Artemis rocket lit up, Jupiter hanging out in the sky and the launch pad for SpaceX

Second picture is the SpaceX rocket taking off. It a beautiful sight, especially the night launches.

Yea, heard it go up, stepped out into the backyard for a squint at it. Looks like you were in Titusville, across the street from where I attend dance classes.

That is the view from Parrish Park in Titusville. We have been there a couple times for launches and it’s a great spot to be. I love the reflection of the rockets against the water.
 
Me and my girls went to the Fathers day Drag racing yesterday... here are a few pics from the start line and Burn-out Comp. These are non professional racers and have just come out to have a bit of fun. no big money prizes, no big sponsors.....allot of these guys drove them there raced then drove them home again....(not the best turn out due to the really bad weather we had the night before.

Slightly further north, a similar view can be had from McDonald's on 1 and the little parks next to it. Nice picture!
 
But wait there's more

Clay Higgins rose to political power by telling a story about personal redemption, but his former boss, the sheriff of St. Landry Parish, now claims he would have never given him a second chance in law enforcement if he’d known what really happened before Higgins resigned from the police force in Opelousas.

In this expansive essay, we consider Higgins’s past, his record as a police officer, the persona he contrived for the cameras, and the truth about his self-proclaimed redemption. We also consider complicated and peculiar history and the struggle for civil rights in the parish that he once patrolled.

Ultimately, this is about answering one fundamental question. We know how he got elected. What is less certain is whether someone with his record should have ever been given the job that made him famous and a platform to speak on behalf of a law enforcement agency in the Deep South.

This is a local artists charity project for Valley Children's hospital.

I cut 4500 16ga. hearts in 4 different sizes from the most dirty, rusty, most unflat garbage i have ever cut.

Turners Autowrecking had a fire in the 50s and it was all the burned up shelving out of a barn.

The banana seat bike brings back memories.... mine had a 3' "sissy" bar so I had a back rest when riding wheelies down the block....

Where's your Major Matt Mason.... or Captan Laser?
