Where did you and your car go today

Went for a cruise today, I go weekly, but today I took a few pictures. This is the most beautiful fire station I have ever seen. I've been going by it for years and today I finally stopped in. Here's a bit of history. July 25, 1918: The first paid, full-time fire department in Kirkwood went on duty. A volunteer bucket brigade had served the City beginning in 1853. A volunteer fire company was established after a huge fire wiped out the City armory on April 30, 1904, while most of the citizens were attending opening day a the World's Fair.

Stopped by Lowe's to pickup Brad's for my nail gun. Finishing my last project, the downstairs bathroom, a total gut job. I'm moving back to our home town after my new home gets built and after we get settled in I'll sell this one. The one we're in now was supposed to be our last move, thankfully I never leave myself in a situation that I can't make money. My wife really missed our old neighborhood so her, my daughter and a designer are hard at it building her a place they will carry me out of. 8th and last home that I've lived in, plus those I've flipped, I'm done. I'm sick of chasing the money, money I don't need, a final place to hang my hat is my main priority now.

I went to a nice secluded, quiet (not for long) place in the country and saluted Todd. Again.

Got behind a trash truck and had to wait. The guy behind me honked his horn obviously wanting me to go around. I looked in the mirror and then around the truck and saw a car coming, but dropped the hammer. It didn't move at first, let up and stabbed it again. Got around and made it back in my lane and looked in the mirror to see if he followed. Couldn't see anything including the truck for all the smoke....LOL.
 
We went to go see if the Falcon Crest house on Spring Mountain road burned down. It didn't. But everything around it did.
Then did the Napa/Calistoga figure 8. Traffic was terrible and the number of people at the tourist signs was like peak tourist season. Very odd...
I didn't have an appointment to visit the house so took a picture in the burned up parking lot & left.

went to the car wash for a light rinse of the tires and lowers of the car and a wipe down let it idle the whole time try to burn out the ethanol gas , was planning on heading to the gas station about 1/4 mile up the road to pump in some av gas for storage, i was pulling out and started sputtering , I guess I succeeded at getting that ethanol out of there, had to call the wife and have her bring the gas can, been a very long time since I've done that.
 
I just went...anywhere.

Took my boys to the park in town today, not a warm day, but not cold either. Mid 40s and sunshine.
