Hey! I got invited to the Cincy Street Rods Cookout�"THE NIGHT BEFORE LEAVING FOR LOUISVILLE"!  It was at club member John Graff's house.  Thank goodness, John is a co-owner of the Graff's TV, so no problem finding a place to park!  John lives within a stones throw of the shop!  So, when I got there the first thing I smell and see are smoke and my beak says�"RIBS!!!"  Heck, I should have known that transplanted Texan and rib specialist Billy Grobe would be "rib 'n it up"!  Master grill specialist Dave "Greasy Fingers' Block was cookin' everything from those GREAT Texas Ribs to burgers, Brats,  Metts, hot dogs and HOT METTS what would make a grown name whine! (I had two!).  There was so much food there that Billy saved a Care Package for my Doberman, Fireball.  Fireball gobbled the whole bag of ribs within minutes!  Also on the menu were chips,  pretzels, pickles, baked beans and tubs of your favorite beverages...ICE COLD!  Lots of people showed up�.even one alien!  'Nuff said�.let's check this shindig out!!!!!   Take it away Cat�..

This is Fireball getting ready to go to Hooter's Bike Show Last Fall!!!

Update: My husband and I have had this car since 1973.  We have driven it from coast to coast over the years.  We've pulled a camper with it and practically raised our three boys in it. Two of the three are into cars. 

Here's Dave Block behind the grill cookin'!  Look at those slabs
