A practice set up

Many times in my life I have ‘Flown by the seat of my pants’. Or learned to improvise at the last minute.  This time I want to have things about right so I tried a set up here in the driveway.

We are going to do a $50 giveaway and a complete set of my books.

We will let the winner pick between the books and $50.  The the reminder becomes the second prize.

Wanna wager which the winner will pick?  Ha, the money of course, but I don’t mind, I would do the same, then turn around and buy the newest book.

Of course I don’t expect them to do that. It is all for fun and promotion of the Festival.

I read some where that flags sell, so I added 6-8 flags. LOL

Thanks for stopping by, tomorrow is the festival. The weather fore cast is iffy, 30% chance of rain and temps in the 60’s. Normally the temp would be in the 70-80 range.

Chatty is doing a give-away for the book, “FINALLY LOVE’ at her site:

Stop by an let her know if you would like to be in the drawing.

The give away is strictly a volunteer thing, but I certainly appreciate it. A new book needs all the publicity it can get.

Thanks for stopping by the log

PS:

This is a busy time, funny how you can get a lot done when you are very busy. Thank goodness this is a short spurt, and we will be back to the retirees was ARE!

Future Infinity LE concept  wireless elec charging 

The Infinity. It will feature ‘wireless’ charging. This is a feature I have many times dreamed of, transmitting power like we do sound waves.

Once a futuristic car, the Tucker. And until Louis mentioned it, I never thought of the Stud front and the Tucker front ends. Around 1948 I believe.

Your setup for the festival looks nice. I'm sure lots of people will enter the giveaway. Although I would have just offered the set of books and not the money as the prize.

Sign looks great..You are an artist. Hope the rain holds off. I thought the same about the car it has a 50's Studebaker front. I never likes the bullet nose..

Hoping for fun and good time
tomorrow.
