Lantern vs. the Water Hose : Pup's Up, Hose Down!

Lantern attacked an old, cheap water hose in our back yard while we worked outside on the first spring feeling Sunday afternoon of the year. 

He chewed through it in 2 or 3 places, and it kept him occupied for a good while.

Steve Walker's SVRA Pontiac T/A : Before the SVRA weekend, I saw on the entry list a Steve Walker from Pennsboro, WV.  Knowing that road racing isn't exactly popular in the greater Marietta/Parkersburg "metro area," I wondered if Dad knew of him.  Turns out that Steve autocrossed this same car in the late '70's when Dad was autocrossing his Corvair-powered Autodynamics Deserter.  They knew of each other at the time, so it's been nice to actually get to know Steve and his wife Jan 25+ years later.
