Welcome to Saturday Ramblings for August 20, 2016! In case you didn’t know this about baseball, the Chicago Cubs have never been a post-season juggernaut. The franchise has been to ten World Series, winning only two. And the last World Series the Cubs played in was in 1945. Since then, they’ve made the playoffs only seven times,Continue reading “Saturday Ramblings: August 20, 2016”

Welcome to Saturday Ramblings for August 13, 2016. Since we looked at the restoration of Elvis’s BMW last Saturday, it made we think, “Surely I can find some pictures by someone who restored an old Nash Rambler!” And that’s when I found Dave Simley’s post, showing how he brought a 1953 Nash Rambler Custom Convertible back toContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings: August 13, 2016”

Welcome to Saturday Ramblings for August 6, 2016. We’re going to upgrade from our standard Rambler today to show you a great pic of Elvis Presley’s 1957 BMW 507, now restored to its original glory (and perhaps beyond). Top Gear has a great gallery showing the step-by-step restoration of the King’s ride, which he enjoyed while he wasContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings: August 6, 2016”

There are a lot of us whose faith in the American political system is running low these days. It’s almost like we’re being sold AMC Gremlins again. Gosh, that was a bad (and ugly!) car. But not as bad (and ugly!) as the political campaign is about to get, now that the conventions are over.Continue reading “Saturday Ramblings: July 30, 2016”

Hey, in case you hadn’t heard, some people rambled over to Cleveland this past week for a little party. And next week, a few more folks will ramble to Philadelphia for a different party. Those who drive to these events probably do so in something not unlike our flag-bedecked ’58 beauty above. It’s just that someContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings: July 23, 2016”

Well, it has arrived: it is our annual County Fair season here in Indiana. HERE is a link to our local fair, which is held just up the street from our house. You can go to the link all week long and see pictures from the event. Or, you could visit their Facebook page. Our Rambler picContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings: July 16, 2016 – County Fair Edition”

I’m feeling rather subdued today, after a sad week here in the U.S. But we’ll try to lighten it up a little for this edition of Ramblings and focus on good news stories to encourage smiles and a bit of positive energy. Psst…Hey, I’m not even gonna rag on Ken Ham this week! Let’s ramble! • •Continue reading “Saturday Ramblings: July 9, 2016”

  We’re in Chicago for the weekend, enjoying music and walking around the city. The picture above is from the 1960 Chicago Auto Show, an event I attended a few times back when I was a teen. Note how Rambler was being advertised back in those days: Rambler: Basic Excellence. That’s what we try to giveContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings: July 2, 2016”

Hello, friends, and welcome to the weekend. Ready to Ramble? Please keep the Orlando victims in your thoughts and prayers. I don’t know i have anything to say that hasn’t been said already this week, but you are welcome to discuss this tragedy in the comments if you wish. What do porn stars, the EastContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings, June 18, 2016”

Yes folks, yard work and gardening is in full swing here in the Midwest these days. I suspect that I’ll be making multiple trips to the home improvement store this weekend, loading up on outdoor essentials. Too bad we couldn’t just call Mr. Bushie and have him deliver what we need in his sharp 1951 NashContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings: June 11, 2016”
