Folks Of Interest What are your plans for Fathers Day?

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by HOTRODPRIMER, Jun 19, 2020.

  2. No barbecue for me. Diagnosed recently with a tumor on top of my stomach, lost the ability to eat solid foods and went into the hospital Monday, out by Friday with a feeding tube to my small intestine, which if I'm lucky I'll have for 6-8 months. Don't know final diagnosis, but could whip this thing by Christmas and be back to normal. In the meantime, I'm delighted to be home with my wife and son, who's home from medical school for another three weeks or so. I'm grateful to be alive on Father's Day. A week ago I wasn't sure I'd make it to tomorrow.

    That humidity is a killer for sure! It was about 95* here today, but that humidity was also about that high, so I didn't stay out very long. I was under my new carport working on my tire machine, it got so hot and sticky you couldn't hardly breath, so I quit and went inside. Can't handle it like I could 40 or even 20 years ago....

    Yeah it seems like a dumb thing to do but I have been doing it since I was 12 so bad habits are hard to break.
    Besides it buys race car parts and helps us get down the road with the car. It is a perfect job for retirees like us . Free golf and a paycheck. Plus the opportunity to talk to people and maybe pick up a new sponsor. Business owners play golf and they do not have to be car guys.
    I had the Huddle House restaurants sponsor for 12 years. I fixed the rust in the rear window channel for Jeep Wagoneer and he saw the potential to increase his business and jumped onboard.

    Father's day gig at Olde Mistick Village, Mistic, CT from 2-4 with my band. First gig in 12 weeks since shutdown. "Room to Move Band" After that, some Weekapaug breachway fishing in Rhode Island till dark. That's me on the left with the natty suit. 64647040_10219923797153197_5284967917836828672_n.jpg

    We will be taking the kids in the Wagon to my parents for a BBQ like we do every year. The maiden voyage for my wagon was to my parents on Father’s Day when I first got her on the road.
    Normally we have my wife’s extended family and 3 generations of a family in the car club that attend the bbq. This year it will only be my parents, my wife and I and our two kids.

    I got my dad a Swiss Army knife with a boy scout logo on it. My dad has been a Scout master for 35 years and works at our local scout reserve, but this year they’ve been shut down for the summer and he’s a little bummed.

    Ms Aldeanfan got me some beverages to get me through the afternoon, very appropriate since we have a vintage Airstream. This brewery is on Toronto Ontario.

    Going to fix the railing on my neighbors pool, then try to get some garage time if it is not too hot. Went for a 3 mile walk with the better half this morning, then made her breakfast. Lost Dad a couple of years ago but grateful to have had him in my life for 64 years.

  19. Gonna attend the funeral of a good car buddy today. Come home and see what my wife and dog have in store for me. Like in post #65, it's hot here and humid too (SC). Between the funeral and the weather, too bummed to mess with the car. Picks me up to know that many HAMB brothers are having Fathers Day as we like to see it be. Enjoy y'all.

    Unfortunately I am working! After work I will take my mother to the grocery store and if it doesn't rain the wife and I might take our coupe for a ride.

    Well its been an interesting 24 hrs.

    I found out my daughter and 2 grand kids are coming to see me, my oldest son has to work, my youngest will be here to.

    Bad news, I'm now ban from seeing ronin, my grandson in my avatar. He's my GF daughters son. We let him on the go cart Saturday with my 24 y old son and I guess I was supposed to get his parents permission first.

    So after I was "informed" that nothing like that can happen without their permission when we are baby sitting I said fine, asked if I understood, I said fine but silliest thing I heard. At which point I was ban for not showing them respect.... Go figure.....

    Just got done grilling and eating. The ribeyes, corn on the cob and baked potatoes were good. For the rest of the day I'm going to kick back and relax. Here comes the rain. One of my Son's called to wish me Happy Father's Day, just waiting for the other one to call.

  29. We had a nice day, my girl friend came by early with pistachio pancakes, cooked up some scrambled eggs with mushrooms, onion and hot pepper, sausage and bacon. All 4 of us ate on the deck and fed peanuts to the blue jays. I got great gifts from my sons, a window bird feeder we hung on a front window and a grille pan so I can cook things like vegetables outside.

    It got hot, around 88, I hung out inside in the AC for a few hours and snoozed. My younger son got dinner together, guacamole (he makes it great), ribs, burgers and dogs. Then we fine tuned the new pool ladder a little. Had a few cold beers as well. Never worked on the Ford, I have a short window early in the day where the driveway is not a blast furnace and missed it.
