About Me

Hello, to every one!

Check all my blogs for more about me...there's only about a hundred of them!

I'm currently up dating this area...stay tuned!

The mind and its personality is a curious and interesting thing, but how it behaves is whats surprising!

I've always had a passion for the automobile. Here are a few photos that I've taken over the years of vintage sport and big bore racing cars.


My Interests

Look out! Mooon-son will get-cha!

A few things I enjoy;

travelling back roads to undiscovered places. cruising to were the action is, or to no-where at all. down home cooking and dinning out. seeing new palces and meeting the people that are there. PIER 4 CAFE. plays, concerts, and movies. figuring out and seeing how some thing works. bicycling, hiking, walking, and camping. VANS SHOES. bomfires in the rain. billards, horseshoes, volley and kick ball, and floor-hockey. family and fiends. photography, architecture & design. flea-markets & swap-meets. IN-N-OUT BURGERS. car shows. going north-south-east and west. coming home and staying there. snuggling up and playing on the couch. mowing the yard and planting a few flowers. collecting old redline hot wheels. small towns. ROAD AMERICA. vintage sports car races. opening the mind-taking a class now and then. drive-in theatres and comedy clubs. automotive mania as my page shows!


Back to the 50's weekend at the Minnesota state Fair Grounds. Usually Father's Day weekend.
