Unfortunately no car activity other then meeting with the Metro Detroit Falcon Club for dinner. Always a good time with a great group of folks. Hadn't seen a few of the members for awhile. So we got to catch up on the latest.
The grand kids had a visit today to the Binder Zoo in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Their uncle and grandfather took them to see the zoo/park. Nice day for a zoo visit. Weather was great and the animals were out and about. They have a Africa theme to the park. Saw some very interesting animals. They have placards to help you understand the animal your seeing. They are not in cages. They are in a more natural setting. Reminded me of the St. Louis Zoo.
Kids fed a couple giraffes. They have a long tongue.
Look out Gene Simmons.
The petting area was nice also.
Overall a nice enjoyable day.

About Me
- Jerry
- SE Michigan
- Enjoying my hobby interest of mid and late 60's Ford Iron. Also selling one of the best lubricants available in the USA. Gibbs Brand Lubricant. I retired from Ford Motor after many years of fun and frolic. In fact to much fun and not enough frolic. Like any other retired person I have grand parent duties. They include driving the little nippers to swim lessons, Lego camp, dance camp and the big blast for the year, the Woodward Dream Cruise. The group is all pumped and ready for burning rubber and the tangy sweet scent of Turbo Blue in the night breeze. With three special cars in the stable it is always a chore to keep up with them. I have two 1970 ½ Ford Falcons. They were available for less than six months in early 1970. Both are 429 SCJ Drag Pack cars. One is an automatic (38 made), the other is a 4 speed (57 made). The automatic has 43k on the clock while the 4 speed has 9k on the clock. Put there a quarter mile at a time. The remaining car in the garage is my 1964 Galaxie 500XL. Now equipped with a 428 CJ motor with tri-power it is a blast to drive. It is known as Big Red.
