OK, let’s start posting up some pictures to show folks what they are missing! These are from Friday night at the Alderson’s.
Of all the things I've lost in my life, I miss my mind the most!

And the last ones I took tonight at the Alderson’s. There should be others posting up some pictures also.

I know the Blue/White ‘59 and the guy in the red hat that drives it. Good to see Oklahoma represented. Y’all have fun.

If I had left this morning when I got up at 2:30 I could be just pulling there. Don when you mention Alderson it brought tears to my eyes. What a great hostess. Have fun, and be safe.
Come, Bleed or Blister something has got to give!!! '59 Apache 31, 327 V8 (0.030 over), Muncie M20 4 Speed, GM 10 Bolt Rear... long term project (30 years and counting)
Don, “59 fleet” is his Stovebolt handle. He is Mark Sharp the founder and former owner of Mar-K. The “K” was for his late wife who was co-owner. If anyone has bed related questions, he’s the go to guy. Super nice gentleman, in spite of knowing me!

I would say that they have ALL the toys. What an amazing place. If they got up in the morning and said "Lets drive the [truck in the back of the shop]" it would be an evening drive after shuffling everything in front to get it out.

I label the file, so if you hover over it and/or when you click on the photo the description shows up in the file name. Is there a better way to label them?...I need some education... Thanks! --Tom
Not sure if "better" but rather than renaming the file, when about to upload an image, type in that square the title or description of the image. Don't hit any buttons yet!! Drag over the image that goes with the typing. It all drops to the bottom (where they are listed). Once you have done your stash, hit DONE. Still nothing shows up until you finish your post and hit "Post Reply."
We've seen some people name the photo just with numbers (to keep them in an order). Other folks have done like you and give the file a name that make sense. Some people prefer not the have spaces in their file name.
I read recently that using dash ("-") is now better in a file name instead of a space, underscore ("_"), or series of upper and lower case letters ("LucasAndTomAtKCEvent"). Since I heard about the go-ahead for a dash, I've been using it. Even for HTML pages!
Here's the group picture with names, this is about half the folks that came but we have to remember to get the pic earlier in the day next time. I think I got everyone's names right if I didn't let me know and I'll correct. Thanks again for everyone that came, had a blast! Steve "Mongo"
I think you have all the names right Mongo. Thanks for hosting all day Saturday and thanks to the Alderson’s for hosting Friday evening. I also think you have a mushroom to get to Patty Alderson. (Inside info).

Martin, I don't know if my picture has ever been posted in a post office? I was always scared to look!

Hmmm. Why am I "Shakey61"? Well, my truck ('Mater Jr.) is a '61. As to "Shakey", it's been my nickname my whole adult life, and was my callsign as a military pilot. How I got that nickname is another story. I can attest that it has nothing to do with the way I fly!

This is what happens when you live with a house-full of women, the wife and daughters name all the cars: 1960 Impala - "Frankie" (Frank Sinatra) 1961 Apache - " 'Mater Jr." (wrecker) 1965 Corvair Monza Convertible 1972 SuperBeetle Convertible - "Juliet" 1976 SuperBeetle Convertible - "Olaf" 1988 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce - "Romeo"

Was hard to tell on my computer.
