August 27, 1963
Tuesday, 42-70, clear, bright, partly cloudy in am. Picked blackberries with Sue. Wayne worked. The federal gas tax came $31. Clifton went to a union meeting. Took David's car to Raymond's to have the transmission put in.
Comment: Probably a beautiful day with fall scents and colors in the air. The $31 would be worth $265 in today's money so, not bad. Looking from the other side, what cost you $4.42 in 1963 would cost you $38 today. David still struggling with his car..." the road goes on forever and the party never ends..."
