It’s Monday. The upper east coast got hit pretty hard over the weekend with something like two feet of the horrid white stuff under blizzard conditions.  That had to hurt. Here in Illinois its been mostly wicked cold with some additional snow here and there. This week we’re in for a brief warm up, heavy snow, and then more frigid cold. Not looking forward to any of that.

We have a really nice dog park nearby our home. It’s huge and very popular. We’ve been wanting to take our dog, Abby, but I  just never got around to getting her signed up. Well, a few days ago I finally applied online and got her registered. We’ve had her for over two years now and she really hasn’t been around other dogs much, so we weren’t completely sure how it would go. She would never hurt anybody, but she’s part Sheepdog so she’s big, has a very loud intimidating bark, and is very protective. We decided to give it a shot and took her out there Sunday afternoon and she had an absolute blast. She had no problem with the other dogs and was running and playing with them almost immediately. She even ran up to other people for pets, which isn’t something she typically does. She really enjoyed the whole experience and now I wish that I had done this over a year ago!

I caught Guy Fieri’s Hawaiian special on Discovery+ over the weekend and it was really good! In this multi-episode series he taken his family off the beaten path of the Hawaiian islands to explore their culture and cuisine. It’s very interesting, funny, and educational. I highly recommend checking it out.

Time to wrap this up. I have a belly full of chicken soup and I’m looking forward to getting some good sleep.

It’s Sunday! Having a car stolen can be traumatic experience, especially for a classic car enthusiast. That’s exactly what happened to a Tulsa, Oklahoma resident. And this is where it gets difficult. The car that was stolen was a pristine $300,000 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500. The good news is the car was recovered. The bad news is the state of which the car was recovered in.

TULSA, Oklahoma – A stolen $300,000 1967 Shelby Mustang GT has been found.

The rare classic car was stolen from a warehouse near downtown Tulsa three weeks ago.

On January 28, Tulsa Police found the car in a rural part of Okmulgee County.

Tulsa Police auto theft investigators said they received dozens of tips about the stolen car. Those tips led them to a rural property near Mounds.

Osage SkyNews 6 flew over the property where Tulsa Police found the stolen mustang this afternoon.

TPD said the car was covered up by brush and cardboard when they found it. They said most of the car is still in tact but the doors, hood and fenders have been removed.

Police said the car was stolen three weeks ago after someone cut the fence and pried the garage doors off a warehouse where the car was being stored.

Investigators have already arrested Nicholas Chamberlin in connection with the theft. Arrest warrants have been issued for his dad Roy Morris, as well as Toni Morris.

Investigators said they are thankful they are able to get the car back to the owner. They added that they couldn’t have done it without everyone’s help.

“I really want to thank the community, seriously, the city of Tulsa and the surrounding area. Because without them, we may not be where we are today. I kid you not we were flooded with tips. There were days where I was receiving a dozen tips a day. If it wasn’t for the good people of Tulsa like I said, we may not be here today and be in the position we are in of recovering this vehicle,” said Lieutenant Chase Calhoun with the Tulsa Police Auto Theft Unit.

Police said they also found a stolen dump truck and another stolen car out of Tulsa at the property today.

They said there could be up to five arrests after this investigation is complete.

 

It’s Saturday! I saw these guys on Saturday Night Live last week and was immediately hooked. They’re called Bleachers and this is their live performance of “How Dare You Want More”.
