Peggy, I was?really happy to see O.D. on line again. Missed him!? and yes we need to hear "The Old Gray Goose" again this year. Wouldn't be the Hoedown without it. Joe does get a lot of pleasure in creating a fun street rod out old?rusty?cars. He did our first one that we took to so many shows, back in the middle eighties, it was the 46 Ford Coupe(Chevy Engine). We traveled with a small group of Okies and Texans everywhere for about five years. NM, AR, KS, TX (including on Southfork Ranch loved that, they only used the outside of the house for filming the TV show but it was great touring inside. There was a photo op at what was supposed to be JR's desk.with us pretending to be JR and SueEllen with their big western hats etc. KY. CO. AZ. IN. MO. and my favorite I think the Old Fort Group in Arkansas. We always had fun but they were just extra?friendly and always gave big fish fries for the street rodders.?There was also one near Mina,?AR. at the Queen Wilimena Lodge on the top of the mountain.? Driving up Talimina Drive with all those hilly curves was a lot of fun. Our guys?were a "drive your car group, not a trailored group?but there's room for both"?Eventually got tired of all that and sold the 46 Ford in 2000. Since then he has had a blue and white 66 Mustang,(302 engine), He's been driving "Ol Yeller" for a few years, now a 72 Chevy Cheyenne truck that he gets compliments on every time he goes anywhere, including Walmart parking lot. 1st had a 454 engine and then changed to 4.3 v6 now. His project that got?him through radiation and all the trama of?fast growing prostrate cancer just a?couple of years ago, was?a?45?Army Jeep.?I would drive him home from?a radiation treatment and he would rest a bit and then head out to the garage, everyone loves that jeep now. We went to the 45th Museum in OKC to see how everything was done for real. ?He even painted white stars on it and added things like the real guys had in the back, all painted regulation Army green paint I ordered for him off the net. I took a picture of him in the jeep in front of a barn size American Flag we painted on our barn facing the road after 9-11 and he sent it to his brothers and sisters with the question, "Why do I have to push one to get English?" So that's what keeps him out of trouble, if he sells them, he always makes a good profit, if he mentions something I spend on, I will just ask what did that last engine etc cost? It's funny.?? Bye Nova? Hope this is not too messed up with the ?? and things. -----Original Message----- From: peggy palmertree <psmpalmertree@bellsouth.net> To: palmertree@rootsweb.com Sent: Wed, 3 Jun 2009 9:08 am Subject: Re: [PTREE] O.D.

PP > Don, I had to log on by Internet Explorer to get on AOL, Someone is coming tomorrow night to see what they can do, I may have to go back on the old Dial-Up service.? It's so frustrating!? Think I could talk Joe into moving to town?? Not likely!? ha? He's now busy putting a 4.3 v6 Chevy truck engine into a 1981 BMW 320i. > Keeps him out of trouble.
