lol
You guys are so observant, Cruiser the standard poodle is standing in a fuel stain puddle. lol The car is lowly 74 dodge challenger that I have owned since 1985. I have another 71 at home, have had a challenger since I was 16 since 1976.
Cruiser goes with me and flys with me 99% of the time, he has over 500 hours now.

I'll gladly trade you some storage shelves for the challenger since they both appear to be doing the same thing...

lol The 1983 imron paint job has seen better days and is some tough stuff. A cardboard box is not going to hurt it or make it any worse.

My wife and I have used that car as a driver towed on a open trailer behind a toterhome. We have driven it to the top of Pikes Peak twice separate years, Bonneville salt flats 3 times(have the rust to prove it) across the golden gate bridge, Daytona beach, key west, woodward cruise in Detroit and many other places. It is a reliable driver.

Barge facility on the Illinois River just south of Meredosia. The white domes are fertilizer storage, and the taller, skinnier ones are for grain. I presume barges carry fertilizer north from the gulf and return south full of corn. IMG_20211026_130714746.jpg
I'm still overwhelmed by the magic of flight.

You just missed us at St Joseph. We were on the north side beach Labor Day.

We were there also on Labor Day, I am looking at our beach day pass for 9-5-21. We were at Silver Beach which is on the south side of the St Joseph river. It was a full house in the afternoon. We got there early in a RV.

Then we went back a month later and the beach was not near as busy. My wife likes shopping up on the bluff in St Joseph.
This was early Oct at Silver Beach. Then I flew up there with a buddy a couple weeks ago.

Awesome deal, you are over half way there.
My friend Greg learned to fly in Valparaiso Indiana 40 years ago.

He recently completed landing at all public paved airports in the Hoosier state.
Only took him 40 years...lol I kid him. He is a 20 year Captain for SW, it is not like he was really trying until the last couple years in his own plane. I went with him in his plane for a dozen or so and I flew mine and his to some also in the last couple years.
Huntington Indiana was his last airport. He said he might has been there 35+ years ago but wanted to make sure, so we went there on our way to Benton Harbor Mi.

We started the day driving to St Joseph from South Bend. I've never been there before, and finding parking at Tiscornia Park was a real pain that holiday weekend. I *think* it was Labor Day Monday itself, but could have been Sunday. I couldn't find any spots at the beach parking lot, and there were plenty of people circling the lot waiting. I drove over towards the marina, hoping to find street parking but the marina owns all those spots. I figured I'd go straight to the top and walked into the harbormaster's office. I asked if he could point me somewhere so I could park, and I mentioned the signs and that I didn't want to take any of their spots. He said, "Wait, you actually read the signs? Sure, go ahead and park right here in our lot!"

After a couple hours we went across the way, toward Silver Beach, into town and walked around, had a nice dinner, then headed out.

It was a great visit. There were quite a few planes doing a low shoreline flight that day.
 
test flew a new EDM900 install I did, and flew over Vaught Hemingway Stadium to snap a pic of the “Manning” end zones before they get painted over

Sadly an hour after this photo was taken, 2 teenagers shot each other to death in that green space park along the river. They wounded 3-4 other people also. Good thing I was up here!

Through the delta and under the bravo to get these shots.

Flew to BMI yesterday. 400-500' ceilings on each end, and the Archer has a non-WAAS KLN-94 GPS. Wind was out of the wrong direction for all the ILS options. Closest I've come to a missed approach in real life. Snapped this picture when I popped out for a couple minutes in cruise. Only time I saw the sun all day.
