Yesterday we went to a local "Run What You Brung" where anyone can drive a vehicle to see how fast it will go on a quarter mile. Dougs first try with the 1977 Dodge Aspen wasn't too successful because he tried to manually shift the automatic and went into neutral. Oops. But I though I got a good video of it, (never tried it on this camera before. ) so I have to show it. The second time was much better and his brother Dave immediately said he knows just what to do to make it faster next year. The winner drove a Corvette at 129mph.
It was a beautiful September day and we enjoyed watching the variety of cars, many are just peoples every day car, even I could have tried it but I don't really care how fast my car will go. LOL

This was the 2nd run where he turned 94mph. He was much happier this time.

We went for a ride today about an hour north to Sharon VT but the color is actually prettier around home then it was further north. Not to say it's gone by but in fact hasn't started to change. So I got this pic just a few miles from home. The view outside my window is gorgeous right now. We used to own a hunting camp up in the Downer State Forest and drove up to take a look. It's still standing.
We had lots of great memories from there and a lot of fun. It was nice to reminisce and enjoy the great day. Actually hit 86, quite a high for us.
On the way home we stopped at a huge garden center and I got some mums to put in my window boxes.
