Warrior Cat must be in this picture somewhere.
You and me both Don. It scares me to remember it all. I hope my son is different, more mature. But I've seen that need in him to test the limits of the world...
I thank God for my mother's prayers. No telling where I would have ended up
I learned the hard way but that's better than not learning at all.

I was just there in July. We were at St. George Island. Beautiful water up there, hope it stays that way. I really like Appalachicola, But it gets a little too cold for my liking in the winter there
Just checking in. Lowcountry is ok. PeeDee has issues. Back to work. Already insanely busy
There are signs of the summer thaw here in Phoenix: Anything under 100 is comfortable here. Dedicated to Rooster.

It does get nippy in the winter time. A lot of people don't realize but the water quality is dependent on Lake Lanier in North Georgia. The amount of water they release from Buford Dam has a direct bearing on the oyster business and purity of the water. He has a great retirement lifestyle. He has an oyster boat and sets out crab traps on St George Island. The grandsons maintain the traps and sell blue crabs and stone crabs to the local restaurants and seafood markets. We have huge oyster roasts on St George Island with roaring bon fires and family. Plus every last one of them is UK blue to the bone.
Wife rousted me out of bed at 5 AM. Kitchen floor flooding from under fridge. Shut house water off. After troubleshooting, replaced water filter and took care of problem. Let her clean up the mess.
Been having garage door opener problems. While she had me on a roll, made me go out and fix the problem. Figgered it out with an adjustment.
Got an atta boy from the wife and hopefully I am set for a while now.

Unscathed Bert. Except usual yard cleanup. Probably will take 2 or 3 days of cleanup work.
Hello everyone. Home from an adventure with Dad today. We had a great time, he was feeling well and in a good mood. He was talking about Thursday when I got him home.
Did dishes when I got home and was going to go to the shop and put on another drawer handle but I decided to give it a break for the day. I ordered a 1 ton chain hoist last night to use to get the table down off the platform I built it on. It got a little heavy in the process.
Thanks Don. I knew it would be a lot of work but I had no clue.
I love it when a plan comes together.

Glad to hear that! I was worried about you when you didn't check in for about a week.
@Bert Higginbotha , hey, I just got an update from Ancestry and I have now been shown to be 82% England and Wales, 15% Ireland and Scotland, and 3% Sweden. They knocked off the stuff that was <1% and said it had been ruled out. Good to know that I only have to change my accent and not learn a whole new language. Or dress differently.
I'd say that this house is pretty tight.
1973 oil crisis. I remember how upset my folks were when gas went from 21 cents to over 50 cents per gallon. My numbers could be off but should be close.
There's gotta be an easier way to relocate.

That is how I remember those days. We had an odd even system. If your tag ended in an odd number you got gas (10 gallon limit) on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. If it was even you were allowed to purchase on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. All stations were closed on Sunday. Lines were literally around the block and tempers were short. Real short. People got shot and beat up all over the place.1973 oil crisis. I remember how upset my folks were when gas went from 21 cents to over 50 cents per gallon.

It was pure hell. A lot of us car pooled for the first time in our life. We had four in our car pool. I still wonder if there was really a shortage. .
1973 also the year the National speed limit changed to 55.
You're right! That really sucked for family vacations.
Those of us that remember those days can only laugh at the young dipshits now that try and tell us how bad it is these days. Gas shortages, wage freezes, price freezes, generic food in white cans, soy bean meat, social unrest, political assassinations, threat of nuclear war, 3 network tv channels, smog, rivers catching on fire...the list goes on and on how we are much better off today. Glad I lived through those days and I'm not living those days.
I was only 13 but at the time I thought I'd never be able to afford gas when I turned 16. I increased my grass cutting charge by a buck so it worked out okay I guess.
My car gets better mileage at 75 than it does at 55. Some vehicles would get better mileage at 45. Also, NO computerized car requires a catalytic converter. In fact, they have to run just a little bit dirty to keep the catalyst activated. Our government screws us in so many ways.
Remember going out in friends 68 T-Bird and making one last run the night before it changed to 55. You weren’t given much leeway on the 55 limit if any.
Remember those nuclear bomb drills in grade school? Get under your desk and cover your head. Like that would help.

Yeah, I remember. Seems like we did them way too often too. Speaking of that, my wife had to participate in a fire drill at her building today. She's on the 21st floor and they wanted her to walk down the stairs. I told her to tell them bullshit! She did not need to practice walking down stairs. She just told me that she rode the service elevator down. Suppose there's a real fire. Do you think everyone will leave in an orderly fashion?
Reminds me of this old Seinfeld episode:
@UK82 I turned on my receiver while ago and cued up Ted Nugent on the turntable. When it first started I heard both speakers. When I turned it up just a bit the left channel went out again. Could it be a loose connection on the cartridge? If it's the receiver do you think it's something dirty I could clean? If it was truly burned out, then it wouldn't play at all, would it?
Have you tried the other sources to see if the problem persists? Hook up a cd player (if you have one) and see if you get the same problem. If so then it could be the pot (volume control). One simple fix that sometimes works is turning everything off on the receiver and working every knob back and forth. Sometimes the stuff they use to clean can accumulate and needs to be broken up. I learned this trick from the guy at Magnetic Tape and Recorder. You need to isolate the problem somehow to see which component is the problem. If you had another receiver with a phono input then you can try that too but from my recollection you don't.

They also made some crappy US cars during that period, trying desperately to adjust to new smog standards. Gave Japanese cars an opening in the US market and they never looked back.
I bought a beautiful 1973 Caprice a couple of years later, only to discover it got about 8 mpg. I sold it a week later. One poor sucker selling it to another poor sucker.

I don't have anything to hook to it. Only thing I can do is hook up an antenna and check it like that. It's encouraging that it DID play for just a bit.

That ol' boy knows how to build a shanty.
