VALLEY JUNCTION - WHY NOT?

 We needed to pick something up in Valley Junction so of course we take Mary Lou 😀.  I didn't want to do standard parking down there, so we dropped anchor on a short stretch off Railroad.  I knew I wanted a pic by the old gas station on 4th but the shot with the leaves was a bonus.

OUT FOR A DRIVE

 With us not going to any more car events before Cindy's knee surgery, we know we need to keep driving Mary Lou until she goes away for the winter.  So, we went and filled her up and drove around ending up at Culver's.  This is a bridge I found online that I wanted a picture by.  I was worried about the light but it turned out nice.

PLEASANT HILL DINER #4 (LAST OUTING OF THE YEAR)

One last cruise-in before Cindy's knee surgery.  Awesome weather and a great turnout.  The VFW ended the week before so we picked up some of that crowd.  Gary Pullen was nice to hold a spot right by the sign for Cindy.  We got around to see everyone.  Bill Ferrell made a return with the Falcon and we had a Skinny Bill Martin sighting!


The gang was in eating when we got there.






The Falcon is on the road again!


And with blue wires.

REPAIRS - BRAKE LIGHTS / TURN SIGNAL / DOOR HANDLE

 We took Mary Lou into Trevor on 9/4.  He was able to fix the brake pad so our lights would work.  And fixed my door handle.  We took her back on 9/30 once he got the part in for the turn signal.  And my door handle stopped working again.  So he fixed both but the door handle needs a new bushing kit so we will do that later.

Sad sight


Back in the barn until the turn signal switch part comes in from Florida...


Took ML back on 9/30 for turn signal part and the darn button on driver door stuck again.  Trevor showed me the packet the part came in.  He said, "tell me that's not an original part." When I picked up the car, the envelope was on the front seat.  He knew I would want it.

Hello, Mary Lou!

HELLO MARY LOU!
