HAPPY NEW YEAR !!! ~~ Friday’s Hunt v.4.26 -- "Z" is for ...
Friday Hunts for the week of December 29th:
1. Starts with "Z"; 2. reflect(ion); and 3. the end
1.a. Starts with "Z": Ze (also zir) starts with "Z". I learned something when I discovered this, you might also like (or you might not):
"ze - Wiktionary
One refers to a person with ze and hir or zir typically (a) when their gender is unknown, and one wishes to avoid assuming their gender, or (b) when they are neither male nor female in gender, making he and she (and also either/or terms like s/he or (s)he) inappropriate and potentially hurtful."
1.b. Starts with "Z": Better I like e Zee, mostly used instead as Easy. Here we have "e Zee on the Eyes" with this beauty, a Red 1955 Ford Crown Victoria. The fine print says they sold for $2,202 new. A new convertible would be $48 less so most opted for the convertible. My new 1956 Ford Convertible cost me $32xx. But it had the Ford Thunderbird engine, auto transmission, and air conditioning. AM radio, also extra, was it for the Fords and Chevys back then.
I have a story about a particular 1955 Ford. My grandfather, just about ever since I new him and the cars that he drove, with a 1942 Ford being the first car I remember him having, tried to buy a new car every year, alternating between Ford products and Buicks. His last was a White 1955 Ford Tudor.
Click here to read a whole 2009 blog post (shorter than this one) about both my 1955 Crown Victoria Ford Crown Vic and my Grandfather's 1955 Ford.
Grandpa also had a 1941 Ford 3/4 Ton Pickup that he used for farm activities and for hauling his Stud Horse around to the various farms where the horse serviced. I went with him one time but had no idea of what was happening. Not until much later.
He kept that truck until he didn't have need for a pickup anymore. An aside, I believe that a fellow loses a part of his manhood when he has to sell his truck. I felt that way when I sold my 1986 Chevy pickup.
One day when his '55 Ford was fairly new he took me riding. After he had asked if I liked his car, he said that when he died I could have it. Well, he died still having that car but I didn't get it. I am not sure what happened to it, I was away in the Army then. And of course he hadn't changed his will for me either.
Pictures of the Calendar January page is from the newest of my NAPA Classic Car Calendar collection. I have all but the first edition, 1972 or 1973.

Here on the right you are seeing a reflection of Mrs. Jim, watching and waiting for me to finish taking this picture.
I wanted to show some of our churches' Christmas Train Exhibitions. We were standing outside a window, hence her reflection in the glass.
3.a. The end:
This will be Teresa's last time for to host the Friday Hunt. Next year Tom, of The http://backroadstraveller.blogspot.com/2017/12/fridays-hunt-z.html#!/2017/12/fridays-hunt-z.html, the Back Roads Traveler, will be hosting Weekend Roundup which will be going through the Alphabet like I have been doing the past several years. Both for Teresa's blog and another.
Then the next page, close to the front end, will start 2018, January, with a Red 1957 Chevy Bellaire Convertible. I will post this and tell you about my friend who have one. Another scary ending to begin the year with.
You can click and see here pictures and read of some of other NAPA Calendar pages which I have posted here from time to time.
She purchased the next to last one for me. I shared it with Mrs. Jim, here is a picture of the last bite which was a part of her half, or nearly half. It was really good, "great!!"

~~ Friday’s Hunt v.3.26 -- "Z" is for ...
Friday's Hunt for the week of June 30th: (1) Starts with "Z"; (2) Week’s Favorite; and (3) Dessert
2. Week’s Favorite: Meet "EP". EP is the newest edition to our family. She is our oldest granddaughter's new baby (makes her my youngest great-grandchild), born last Sunday evening. She weighed 6.25 pounds and was 21 inches long. So far her eyes are teasing being hazel.
Below pictured are the proud grandpa seeing his second, and the mother of two now (JP's little sister, JP is two).
The picture on the right is KP with Mrs. Jim. KP has another cousin.
[click any picture for larger sized viewing]
3. Dessert: The official name of my newest concoction is "Cheerios on a Stick". Shown is my 'breadboard' culmination, you should actually use a wooden popsicle stick or the like instead of a table knife. See below for pictures representing these directions: (1) Coat the sticks with ample peanut butter. (2) Swirl coated sticks dipped into the Cheerios still inside the box (I use the crispy version Cheerios) until it is covered with cereal. Yummy!!! This is not an elegant dessert as you can tell, but it is a mighty sweet and good tasking snack. Some Healthy too!
1. Starts with "Z": Today's "Z" was found in the wine department of our local World Market store. It is three bottles of Zardetto Brute Private Cuvée. Per the sign, "Fabio Zardetto has created his own personal curvee -- a blend of Glera (Prosecco), Chardonnay, and Muscat." I don't know what all this means. And "No", we did not buy any. (Wikipedia on Cuvee Link)

Yellow Day Lilies ~~ Friday’s Hunt v.3.25 -- "Y" is for ...
Friday's Hunt for the week of June 23rd: (1) Starts with Y; (2) Week’s Favorite; and (3) Splash
The top picture is of a clump of Yellow Day Lilies planted along our Cinco Ranch Boulevard, the coming and going road to our street off the Freeway. The second bunch of yellow flowers, on the left, I don't know what they are. They are all about our subdivision, here by our mailbox group.
Behind me (above) is the little flood retention green belt. You can see just a part of a walking trail, they go for several miles on both sides of little stream that runs all the time. Small lakes down there too. I've posted a few small pictures of the stream and walkways. Make them larger and you can see better. The on the left has a pretty white heron sitting on the bank trying to catch a fish going by. 
2. Week’s Favorite: This will be another Yellow object, I found this Yellow
3. Splash: This Dragon made quite a "Splash" when it showed up at our house Yesterday. KP claims ownership, says she has had it for "years". She's only seven years old and she said she did not have it when they lived in London three years ago. Anyway, the dragon will be living with us, Grandparents, for the summer. I may take a ride on him some evening, we never know.

~~ Friday’s Hunt v.3.24 -- "X" is for ...
Friday's hunt for the week of June 16th: (1) Starts with X; (2) Week’s Favorite; and (3) Insect
(1) Starts with X: X's are hard to find. I did do some Flash writing on my other blog, my main character was named 'Xentor". I actually quit before I hardly started, here are some of those, click. This opportunity was available only on certain of Jenny's Saturday Centus days. 100 word posts with certain other restrictions were . (Saturday Centus posts) About a year ago Jenny became ill and has almost stopped blogging.
(2) Week’s Favorite: Did you note that this "Friday Hunt" was done on Saturday? Well last night we had a Father's Day dinner at my favorite gathering restaurant on 11th Street in the Heights of Houston. Berryhill's Mexican Restaurant.
Mrs. Jim and I shared chicken 'fajitas for one.' Sorry no picture. Berryhill's is famed for its fish tacos. My say, "they are good but too messy." To work around that I order them "dry" with the fish sauce on the side. That works. And I can be judicious with the sauce's application.
Sixteen of our twenty-four were present. I noted that the fifteen of them that were here, all were my descendants, spouses of one, or steadily following one.
The nine others were accounted for; four were here in Texas having other commitments, two are in California/Arizona, two in Alaska, and one in Washington, D.C.
Some more pictures: Our oldest granddaughter's due date is less than a couple of weeks away. She will add one more girl to our two girl "Greats" list. One boy, JP (link).
(3) Insect: June Bug. The little brown beetle who flies the night away, looking for a light. When, and if, it finds the light it spends the rest of the night worshipping that light. And then before daylight our June Bug dies.
Several years back I blogged a feature, "June Bug of the Week." I didn't exactly give it that name. I had a running joke with Rachel that what she called a June Bug was actually not a June Bug as June Bugs are supposed to be brown. You will notice that NONE of these is a real June Bug. (The June Bug Collection)
At right is one of my "Xentor" favorites. A few others may be seen here.

KP was one of those descendants absent. She was in San Antonio with a prior reservation.
The family picture was taken by a wait staff at the restaurant. She wasn't the best photographer.

~~ Friday’s Hunt v.3.23 -- "W" is for ...
Friday's Hunt for the week of June 9th: (1) Starts with W; (2) Week's Favorite; and (3) Pastel
(1) Starts with "W": "W" is for Wash. Who? Jim.
What does Jim do? He/I do my own clothes washing, here is a little about how I do it in pictures:
"W" is probably most commonly used (followed by We) in the question sentences, Who, What, When, Where, and Why.
(2) Week's Favorite: What? Calendar -- Also a "When" Question.
When can I reuse this calendar? If you look closely (click to enlarge) you will see that it is a 2006 calendar. Well this is the first year that we can use the 2006 again.
The picture is of Sorrento, Italy. The Isle of Capri is to the left, across the way. We were in Sicily for two weeks in 2006 and then another week in Sorrento.
Sorry the picture isn't real clear. Our hotel was down the street to the right from the taller buildings. It was a wonderful place to visit!
(Link to Google Sorrento)
Got a 2007 calendar? Check it out, when you can use it again from the link below. (Answer, next year, 2018) (Highlight the blank space in the 'answer' above.
I don't throw my car calendars away, especially not my NAPA Auto Parts Classic Calendars. (click here, a link for some others). Except for the very first one back in the early 70's I have them all. Ask if I can find them all? Probably not.
https://www.whencanireusethiscalendar.com/?y=2007
What? The NAPA calendar is showing a 1951 Buick Roadmaster Convertible.
The Jim's Hardware calendar is showing a 1932 Dodge Brothers F-10 Pickup.
Which one do I hang on my office wall? The NAPA calendar of course.
(3) Pastel: pas·tel paˈstel/ Adjective
Soft colored. synonyms: pale, soft, light, light-colored, muted, subtle, subdued, soft-hued
Who? The guy who moved here some time back. It is mine. What? This is an ordinary old cardboard box, folded for storage. Where? In my office. Why? Because it is the first large moving box that I've unpacked in a long time. When? I did it the day before yesterday. _ _ _ _ .........................

~~ Friday’s Hunt v.3.22 -- "V" is for ...
Friday's Hunt for the week of June 2nd: (1) Starts with V; (2) Week's Favorite; and (3) Inch
(2) Week's Favorite: My very favorite was the Clafouti aux Cerises (French for Cherry Custard Cake) that Mrs. Jim made. First on the left is my plate before three dips of Blue Bell Vanilla ice cream. Sooo good!! You can click on the recipe for a larger size viewing. You may have to also raise your computer Zoom level. I constantly run mine at 125% because my glasses are not strong enough for the normal computer screen printing.
(1) Starts with "V": Veteran starts with "V". This picture is of my Honorable Discharge copied. The copy is 55 years old and has endured a flood in our home. [click it for a larger view] The original has my full name and Service Number. I was in the U.S. Army for five years, all except two weeks for processing was spent in Texas. Eight weeks Basic Training in Fort Hood and the rest at Fort Bliss, Texas (El Paso).
I was drafted and then after my two years I was without a job because of a recession when my first discharge came, I reenlisted for three more years. One year of that being for the NIKE Hercules Fire Control Maintenance course of 43 weeks plus two more weeks for MOI (Methods of Instruction) which was my Instructor Training course and an additional week for a course in Television Instruction and Production. My practice TV course was on "How to Ride a Vespa Motor Scooter". The NIKE course was all about electronics and trouble shooting.
With my electronics Army training and experience I was qualified for a Field Engineer job with the Philco Corporation's Tech Rep Division. I worked this job for 17 years,. When I left Ford Motors had bought them out and I was a Senior Aerospace Engineer at NASA. It also gave me the electronics education I needed for an Amateur Radio station operation. I have been a Ham Radio person not for 57 years (K1TLT--Amateur Extra Class).
Incidentally though I was a college prof for 22 years the Army MOI and the TV Instruction course were all the teaching classes I have ever had. Besides the college I volunteer taught Sunday School classes for over 30 years. My NASA and Army time was also in training. At New Hampshire my job for three years was teaching Air Men how to operate and maintain the equipment at the satellite tracking.
At NASA it was teaching and training Astronauts and Flight Controllers their roles using flight simulators. During missions I had a position of Electrical Control or Environmental Control in the back room and keeping the Skylab Flight Control Room "ECom" appraised of whichever system I was monitoring and offering "suggestions" as to what actions if any were needed in these areas.
(3) Inch: This and 14 more frozen Six Inch "Galaxy Butter Croissants" were part of Karen and KP's Mother's Day present for Mrs. Jim. We have been enjoying these, there are still several left. They came frozen unbaked so they are extra fresh.
Older 2006 pictures [ http://jimmiehov.blogspot.com/search?q=cow+pie ] My ex-blogging friend, Ralph [ Link ], made the suggestion back then to always include a ruler in pictures where its size is important. I did the ruler with the giant toadstool that Adi found. (Adi died in 2013. She was my best beagle dog friend) It was the giant cow pie that he suggested I include the ruler. It was about ten inches across.

~~ Friday’s Hunt v.3.21 -- "U" is for ...
Friday's Hunt for the week of May 26th: (1) Starts with U; (2) Week's Favorite; and (3) Kids
(3) Kids: At least once a week we have been privileged to walk our KP to school. Sometimes, mostly with cold or bad weather we drive her. She likes to walk with the neighbor kids. She was walking with a close friend and her mother on this day. The neighbor's little brother was dilly-dallying along behind or I would have had him in the picture also.
(1) Starts with "U": "Unglued" is a seven letter word starting with "Un". There are 355 of these seven letter starters, this is one that only gets you nine points in Scrabble.
Most "Un" words and many of the plain "U" words have an opposite by dropping the prefix. A few like "Upload" (I'm uploading this when I finish--actually also every time I "save" during composition) will have for opposite another prefixed word like here, "Download".
(2) Week's Favorite: We had a nasty storm with several smallish tornados around our area this week. After one hard day of hail and winds we had this lovely Rainbow make and appearance over the homes behind us.
(4) A little lagniappe for "U": I found this comic for some reason, I am not sure what. It sort of fits here, a couple is getting "Unfriended"
And Dagwood is dreaming about food. Do you think that Dagwood is on Facebook? I didn't try to find out but I am thinking his syndication is.
(Lagniappe Google definition link)
Did you know that Unfriend is not a word for Second Graders. KP missed getting her deserved grade when she used Unfriend in a sentence. Her teacher counted that answer as bad, not credit. Seems she doesn't subscribe to Google:
Do you think "Unfriend" is a real English vocabulary word?
Best answer: We asked "Oxford". (click here to find out)

(2) Week's Favorite: We had a nasty storm with several smallish tornados around our area this week. After one hard day of hail and winds we had this lovely Rainbow make and appearance over the homes behind us.
I almost got "Unglued" while trying to "Upload" my picture.
This one isn't the one that I was trying to "Upload", instead of
Screen Printing it to Picasa I accidently hit the Delete button.
That picture was much better than this one.
