Hanging out at the show. Glad to have the truck back on the road even if riding in it is a bit like riding a roller coaster. LOL #classictruck #classiccar #carshow #1967Dodge

Here’s the view from the truck on our way to today’s car show. Looks fairly sedate in this video. Thing is, when it hits a bump it launches. I do mean launch. And when it lands it will come down somewhat roughly in the same vicinity. Mostly. 😳 #classictruck #1967dodge #carshow
After what seemed like endless amounts of rain we finally got some nice weather. So of course we got MarGe out to a car show. #classiccar #carshow #1954MG
6 weeks ago we took the truck to its first car show. The motor developed a miss and we discovered it had lost two cylanders. Old engine out. New engine in with lots of blood, sweat, $ and swearing. Now here we are - back at a car show again! #classiccar #classictruck #carshow #1967Dodge
You know what today’s vehicles are missing? Triangle windows. Who needs AC when you have these? #classiccar #classictruck #antiquecar #1967Dodge
IT RUNS! It didn’t the first time we tried to start it. Got a new fuel pump and tried again. Soooo great to see (and hear) the brand-new crate motor running. Next up - exhaust system. And then hopefully we can just enjoy it for awhile. #classictruck #1967Dodge. #classiccar #BringTheThunder
The engine is in and all hooked up!!! But will it run? That question will hopefully be answered tomorrow. Cross your fingers! #classiccar #classictruck #1967Dodge
We have oil pressure! Things are moving along with the new engine install. #classictruck #classicvehicle #1967Dodge
Aaaand that empty space is being filled with something new… #classictruck #1967Dodge #Dodgetruck #classiccar
Announcer: We want to involve the next generation so we let kids pick the winners this year. Me: We won’t win anything. Daughter; Are you kidding? Kids love the MG! She was right! Honored to be one of the chosen. #carshow #classiccar #1954MGTF #antiquecar
First pic is before. Second and third pics are current state. Annoyingly, there’s nothing obvious to explain the issues, which means the problem is somewhere deeper in the engine. Our suspicion is cracked piston rings. The “fun” continues… #classictruck #1967Dodge #mechanic #yikes
Went to Mopar Nationals this morning. Spent most of our time in the swap meet area until the rain came. Sorry I didn’t get to walk around the show cars or watch any racing. Took the MG out for a drive to get ice cream this afternoon. #classiccar #antiquecar #1954MG #MGTF1500
After getting the truck to it’s 1st car show last Saturday I thought we’d be all set for the Mopar nationals. And then it developed engine problems. So… looks like we’re parked for the rest of the year. Now the race is on to see if we can get back on the road by next spring! #classictruck #1967Dodge
Since I wasn’t there, #OSH26 was quiet and uninteresting. OK, I’m lying. Apparently EAA managed to outdo themselves again. And I am sooooo sad I had to miss it! Check out my latest post. talesfromtheterminal.com/2026/07/26/o... #avgeek #aviation #airplane #flyin
OSH26 – More Awesome Than It Should Be
If I’m not at Airventure is it still amazing? The answer is yes. Better than ever, darn it!

MarGe and The Pelican at a car show together! #classiccar #classictruck #antiquecar #carshow #1954MG #1967Dodge
Now here’s some serious awesomeness from #osh26 courtesy of @avgeekllynch.bsky.social. #avgeek #aviation #airplane
For whatever reason it brings me comfort to know that there are still lighthouses in the world, shining light out into the gloom. Here’s a little zen for your Tuesday. #peace #beach #beachvibes #lighthouse
More awesomeness from #OSH26 courtesy of @avgeekllynch.bsky.social! Thunderbird 8 flew in this afternoon. The pilot plans to camp under the wing osh-style. #avgeek #aviation #usaf
My latest blog post is up and it is all about the Osh party scene… from my perspective as an avgeek wallflower. LOL! Check it out: talesfromtheterminal.com/2026/07/19/o... #avgeek #aviation #OSH26
OSH26 – Aviation’s Biggest Party
As we get ready for Osh26 here’s a summary of parties and events I’ve attended at Airventures past.

An Iraqi MiG25 (Foxbat) found buried in the sand near an Iraqi airbase. Wings were never located. Very cool to see it on display! #avgeek #aviation #airplane #MiG #NatlMuseumUSAF
