Good morning, everyone. Happy Friday!

Here I was thinking it was Saturday. 🤣

Back to the salt mines then.

I started the process of transferring my old small garden soils over to a staging area for the hoop house in the big garden.

3 loads over yesterday afternoon.
Probably I should be getting this again hopefully.

Then there's a pile of soils that are mixed from barn clean outs.

Tomorrow I have a dump truck of black earth being delivered.
So hopefully this will make a happy soil mix for growing weeds next year.🤣

That’s some good looking dirt. I’m still working on building ours up. Laying down a heavy layer of shredded leaves, wood chips, and such for the winter.

Haven’t got the greenhouse up yet.

So many projects, so little time…

It takes a lot of time and effort to get soils right.
The mixture is 25 -150 yr old manure.
Plus other things that I added over the years.
I'm scraping the garden down to the mineral layer.
Trying to recover my efforts that have been on going for the past 10 yrs.
I started to hit some foundation rocks again yesterday.
So there might be a little play after this job is done.

During production of the movie "Dirty Mary Crazy Larry", three Dodge Chargers were utilized. An authentic 1969 R/T equipped with a 375 horsepower 440 Magnum V8 and a three-speed, floor-shifted Torque Flite automatic acted as the glamour vehicle, used primarily for close-ups and beauty shots. The other two, a ’69 non-R/T, and a ’68 non-R/T, were used as stunt cars.
The film’s finale was performed by towing the Charger into the locomotive and then detonating explosives.
After filming, the genuine ’69 R/T and the ’69 non-R/T were returned to the studio, and both were repaired to a state of drivability. After the film was released in 1974 the cars were sold off.
The helicopter/Charger chase sequence has to be seen to be believed.
Vic Morrow, whose presence on board the helicopter was mandated. He was so terrified of being in the chopper during the filming of the sequence that he insisted on a $1 million life insurance policy before he would agree to do it.
During the negotiations that ensued, Morrow threatened to walk off the picture if his demand wasn’t met. He reportedly told the producers that he always had a premonition that he would one day perish in a chopper. Eerily and sadly, he would indeed lose his life on the set of Twilight Zone: The Movie in 1982 when a hovering helicopter crashed on top of him.

Buddy had a 68 or 69 charger 440 out of show car magazine.
Downshift and spin around going the other way with the tires spinning still.
He went through some awesome rides. Till the reality of being uninsurable sank in.
Several hotrods gone through ,while I had my first two far cheaper cars.

I have never watched an episode of the Simpsons either.
NCIS?
Basically if something was on the networks past 2013, I have no idea.
I'm kind of glad I missed those fat ass Kardashians.🤣

Man after my heart. I've never seen *ANY* of the Star Wars series. And on purpose! 🙃

Going for being the only person on the planet who could say that. 😏

Tracey Ullman show started showing brief tiny bits of Simpsons.
They would look very different going forward.

I had a '69 R/T w/440 magnum and Muncie 4-speed, in orange complete with R/T striping when I was 19.
Blew up the engine driving like a fool 19 y/o and didn't have the cash to get it fixed. It sat in my uncle's driveway for 3 months before a prop scout for The Dukes Of Hazard show came around and bought it for the show.
I couldn't watch that show knowing my car was probably one the got launched and ruined on the show.

It wasn't afraid, till I chased it with the dump truck.
Then when out of the field entrance, it just walked away.
