Good day, Eh! Welcome to Monday! Well our weather continues to be a mystery....33 degrees overnight Saturday, 65 and sunny, on Sunday. Went to an awesome car show at Twin Rivers State Park outside Fairland OK, about 200 street rods and muscle cars, sponsered by the Rebels Car Club. 


Then we cruised up route 66 in my old clunker,
( I can't pick on this car, I've had it for 6 years, is was stored for most of it, the day I lost my job in April, I put a new battery in, 4 used tires and finished some unfinished projects, and proceeded to load everything I could put in it, and drove to Missouri from Buffalo NY) We ended up in Vinita at a little restaurant called Claytons Cafe which has a enormous EATS sign on the front. It has been a Rte 66 landmark since 1927. We had an awesome home style brunch, me chicken and dressing, dee fried chicken dinner, with salads, rolls, mashed potatoes and vegetables(fresh green beans) plus dessert and drinks for 18.90!!!!! For some reason I didn't get a photo but check it out if your touring rte 66. We headed back toward MO and on the way I saw a billboard for Darryl Starbird's Museum. I never thought I was this close to his place, but I found it only 35 miles from home. For those who don't know the name, Darryl Starbird is a car customizer, who was one of my heroes in my misspent youth of reading old Hot Rod and Car Craft Magazines. I was always a dreamer and one of my dreams was to be a car customizer, never happened but still worship my heroes. This is a must see place for followers of 50's and 60's car craziness, his contemporaries are represented in the museum which is the Rod and Custom Hall of Fame! Von Dutch, Ed Roth , Sam and George Barris, and so many more are immortalized in photos and some of their best known work is on display. Starbird Museum
All in all a great weekend!!
Peace Bill
