I can tell it was cold outside. No leaves on the trees.

Definitely looked a bit nippy.

Ford has announced on its owner resources page that orders for the 2022 model year Broncos will open on Wednesday, October 13. Along with the previously announced new paint colors (Eruption Green and Hot Pepper Red), the Bronco’s second model year ushers in a coveted combination: the seven-speed manual transmission (available only with the smaller engine, the 2.3-liter turbo four) and Sasquatch package. This bundle of gnarly off-road goodies includes 35-inch Goodyear mud-terrain rubber, bead-lock capable 17-inch wheels, electronically-locking Dana axles both front and rear, a two-inch-wider track, and beefed-up Bilstein suspension. It’s available on any and all Bronco trims, from base to Badlands, though it’s automatically included on the Wildtrak. 2021 order holders (specifically, anyone who hasn’t yet received a build date) who want to reap the benefits of the delays by speccing ’22 MY goodies must resubmit their orders once the books open and the configurator is live.

What trees ??
All I see is Dagmar's...:eek2:

The One And Only 1948 Tucker Convertible!

https://barnfinds.com/1948-tucker-convertible/

I looked at this car with a buddy of mine who was interested in buying it back when it was still in a 2 car garage in Wisconsin - maybe 18-20 years ago. I recall it being a bit of a surreal experience when he pulled the cover off the car in front of us. Thee owner at that time was well-known in the Tucker collector circles as he had owned/restored several of them. I don't recall all the details any more but remember it being tagged as body 57. Most of the drivetrain he had came from maybe Tucker 33 that was rolled in a high speed run and later crushed. He had some very good documentation but nothing that I recall definitely tying the body to an actual Tucker prototype. I visited the Tucker museum (by appointment only) in Virginia several years later and spoke with the owner of the museum. He was aware of the convertible rumors and this body but hadn't found proof of it being modified by Tucker. He had recovered all of Tucker's original engineering drawings (some 25,000 of them as I recall). He was in the process of reviewing/categorizing all of them for the Smithsonian Museum and was on the lookout for any convertible part drawings. When I spoke with him, he had not found any yet. I don't know if David Cammack still operates that museum, but if he does, it is a must see for any automotive enthusiast.

That's 100 Bucks. So where did this moniker come from? Back in the day, people used the skin of deer’s as trade and barter for goods/services. Each skin was referred to as a “buck.”

There is more Monopoly Money printed every year than real money

If you take the combined value of all U.S. money printed each year, it’s between $696M – $974M (most is just to replace old worn money). Yet Parker Brothers reported that the combined fictitious value of their monopoly money, meaning add up all of their orange $500 bills, yellow $100 bills, purple $50 bills, green $20 bills, blue $10 bills, pink $5 bills and white $1 bills, that combined fictitious value is $30 Billion. That’s with a “B”. So nearly 30 times as much Monopoly money than U.S. bills created every year.

A single company (Crane and Co.) has always produced the paper to make U.S. currency.

It has remained this way ever since 1775, when Paul Revere used paper from Stephen Crane’s paper mill for some of the United States first banknotes. Crane & Co. has been the sole company that has always produced the unique paper for U.S. Currency.

The original purpose of the Secret Service was to fight money counterfeiting.

In July 1865 the U.S. Secret service was formed to fight early counterfeiting at the end of the Civil War.

People use pennies to stop garden pests

It’s an odd thing but some people swear by it. If you bury pennies in the garden, the copper and zinc in the pennies will generate electric shocks for garden pests. Most people use them to deter snails. Nowadays there is more zinc than copper in pennies.

The most valuable US coin is the 1913 Liberty Head Nickel, it sold for $3.7M in 2010.

It was a five-cent piece produced in extremely limited quantities unauthorized by the U.S. Mint. So it’s like the rebel of the coin world. There are only 5 in the world ever known to exist and two are in museums while the other three are in private collections.

The Lincoln Penny is the only coin where the figure faces right

Each one comes with $20,580. I am trying to figure the math, but apparently they sell somewhere around 1 million 458 thousand monopoly games per year. You would think almost every household in America would already have at least one game.

"The Monopoly game is currently published in 47 languages and sold in 114 countries."
There may be 1 game in every American household, but there are many billions more to fill worldwide.

The Indian Head nickel, Ben Franklin half dollar coin, and Susan B Anthony dollar coin also have the figure facing right.

Lee.. Did any Mustangs get shot down?? You show us a "new" picture almost every day.
We must have seen the best part of the production run......LOL
