Thought I would share a photo or two to demonstrate how on and off warm our January has been in Southern Ontario. Now that I write this we will no doubt be snowed under.
This is my 59 series 62 convertible Cadillac, which I have had since I was 16. The 59 Cadillac was my first and still number one dream car. It has travelled to Gettysburg, Nashville, Memphis and Graceland, it served as our wedding car, it has been rebuilt twice. The 59 has the rare Q engine option, a 390 V8 with tri-power carbs. My father and I rebuilt the engine, well mostly him. I assembled the Caddy from a trailer full of parts without an manual, I know every inch of her like the back of my hand.
There was the time she broke down coming back from seeing the Blasters in Toronto and my friend Tony and I had to leave her by the side of the road as it was two in the morning. The next morning I called a tow truck and the driver said yep saw her on that back road out side of Peterborough already, have her home to you in an hour. True to form she started right up.
Saturday was my first drive in the Caddy as April (though I was dressed to work on cars not to impress). I may end up selling her to pay for FFS or even SRS if the provincial government changes what surgeries they cover. It will break my heart and I don't think I could ever look at another 59 Caddy again.
In other old car news….and you thought this was one of those trans type blogs….silly girls and boys.
Coming back from the grocery store, I noticed that the Lincoln was pulling to the right when braking, hmm think I have a sticky LH calliper. The 75 and 76 Lincoln Mark IV's have four wheel disks, best stopping ever on a large car but need a little TLC from time to time. Urgh time to get dirty again.
Really you must think this is a FtM blog, don't worry I will confirm to stereotype tomorrow and talk about some recipes I have had success with and what I wore to my meeting.
Here is Dave Alvin:
one time I took it like a man…..and I am never coming back in a long white Cadillac
Dave Alvin *and* Dwight Yoakam... be still my heart. ;c) Great choices, April!
ReplyDeleteWay, way back, I saw a triple bill with - get this - The Blasters, X, and Los Lobos. I have no clue how I got in, as a) I was underaged by several years, b) didn't have a fake ID, and c) looked like I was about 12 years old. I suspect the bouncers simply took pity on me. :c)
The show, as you might imagine, was incredible. Oh, and the opening act? A friend of all three bands, who had just signed a record deal with Reprise - Dwight Yoakam. :c) Not a bad night's entertainment.

ReplyDeleteDon't ever worry about conforming to stereotypes hun : ) Just be who you are, like what you like, and and damned be anyone who tries to change you : )
After all, if you "can't" like cars, then where does it end? Are people going to start telling me I can't play guitar, because it means I need to have short nails?
Women can so like cars (I don't personally - but I believe we should be able to if we want to!) and football, and even beer(Yuck!)if you want to.
Just be who you are, and never worry about conforming, you're wonderful just the way you are : )
Take care,
Tasha, xx
I have a tough time with anyone who conforms to gender stereotypes as you know. Just be yourself.
ReplyDeleteLove Dwight Yoakam.
With the rapid advances in knowledge, several techniques were used to create the vagina; however, Dr. Juta”s technique is one of a kind, “The Scarless Sexchange” wherein there will be no visible scar on the labia majora after the operation. Certainly, he is the only doctor performing a high quality SRS “Scarless Sex change” in Thailand today. With Dr. Juta, you can achieve a successful outcome both in appearance and function, and there are far lesser incidents of complications. The goal of Doctor Juta is to create female sexual organs that look as natural as possible and that allow as much sexual arousal as possible.
