Above, The 86 Mini in a storage box, not running.
I tinkered with my Bimmer the night before, but it is having some issues so I drove the Vert, when I got to the storage facility where Dick parks the mini he was there also tinkering, and like my experience and disappoint with the Bimmer, he to was a little anguished at his mini Mini ride. She wouldn't start, no gumption, no go. So instead of taking a small car fast down terrifically winding roads I followed his Honda in my convertible to the restaurant. After breakfast he took me down more winding hilly roads to his home, and after that I was on my own to discover Brown county's beauty. 
Figtree Fire Dept. in Helmsburg,
...they had a few more fire engines in back from other places too.
I found Helmsburg (right where they left it) and shot a few fun shots, then went back to Nashville proper and did the tourist run, ending up with a gift for my mother and another for my bride, who was diligently plodding along at work. The drive home was equally off path, to no surprise I found a covered bridge on Covered Bridge Road in Beanblossum, after that I found my way to Edinburgh and Amity before coming back to the chuckpace.com World Headquarters from the west side of the Hancock county. Who knows where I will get my breakfast on next Thursday, when I again have the day to myself. Could be anywhere, or right at home only time and weather will tell. 

This Marker and grave is in the middle of a road east of Amity, the ancestors was petitioned and it wa s left undisturbed, the road splits around it from either direction.

Today was a most rewarding and busy day. I got up as if I were driving to work but I of course would have to be a fool to do that on my day off. Instead I took Charlie to the Doggy Daycare @ 717 Capitol Ave for a acclimation visit. Then I drove to the Beech Grove License Branch to plate the Blue Frankenstein Bimmer (I thought what better than Colts plates). Then on the way home I stopped in at Ralph's Muffler shop on E Washington to ask what they would charge to hang my exhaust system i got from Clark's Classic Cars two week's ago. The price was right and the time estimate was appealing. I still had to go get breakfast, stop at the bank, go home and put the muffler and exhaust pipes in the BFB, put the plates on the BFB, call the insurance company and add the BFB back to our coverage and drive back to Ralph's. By the time I got back there, 11:45 they had a few people in front of me and I would have to wait longer than the estimated hour.
