My sincerest automotive condolences
We'll have ours out on the deck or bring em into the garage. If we leave em on the deck we'll put sheets over the top whether they're on the covered part of the deck or not.
My friend just told me about a trip he went on one summer with one of his high school teams. His coach was taking them to a tournament back in 82 or so. Guy was so proud of the K car he bought because it would be better on gas and more reliable than his old caddy he gave up for it. They didn't even make it half of their 3 hour drive to the tourney before the engine started smoking. He pulled over for 30 minutes to let it cool off and put some coolant into it.
No engine lights on so they got underway again and made it another 15min before the car slowed to 30mph and just wouldn't go any faster. The coach didn't want to chance it so they turned for home and drove the 1.5 hours back in just over 4 hours and that only because his wife showed up 20 miles from home with their other car and a tow truck driver.
They reminded that coach of the trip every chance they got.
I remember those failures of the 70s and 80s. Had family that worked at the plants and did their best to buy American, but I also know A LOT of the people working at the plants kept their old cars (or bought classic cars) throughout the late 70s and 80s. Neighbor of mine that worked for Chrysler owned several barracudas that I drooled over for years.
Miss the style and fun of those old american cars. Fun to fix and modify too
Mine gives me all the information required for her answer first and as to how it applies. By that time I have moved on and don't remember what the question was and have walked away pissing her off. "If you don't want me to answer, don't ask the question".😵
I thought this board was for "nice talk".........snakes are scary......
Whew! Glad we still have one.
I took my birds down to Smith's Grove on Saturday.......I had to stop and get gas and pick up some parts to rebuild the carb on my mower...........damn birds almost beat me home......I have them wound up....they made it from Franklin, KY on Thursday (111.113miles).....in 2hrs and 42 min.......14mph wind out of the NW....probably good enough to win a competition.......
I saw one in a magazine exactly like the one I had selling for about $100,000. Same silver exterior and black interior. I bought mine for a little over $2,700. The dealer threw in a performance package that cost about $350 back then. The package had its 325-horse 396, heavy-duty suspension, power front disc brakes, SS wheels with F70-14 tires (wide track), and more. I had it special ordered
My dad always had honey bees. He loved them and would follow the swarms and bring them back home to a new hive. He could rob them and not get stung. I look at them crooked and they would sting me.
Bees see excellent in the ultra violet wavelengths where yellow flowers become targets.
They really don't look at you. Not that they can't see you, it's that you're not important enough to consider. If a Bumble or Carpenter Bee does take an interest she's likely trying to figure out if you're sweet. Look that sucker straight in the eye and blow in her face. They can smell really, really good and when she figures things out she'll bee gone like the wind and won't bee laughing. If you're mowing her nest expect more excitement.
Do: the door is usually open. I told Austin to make sure to tell everyone that the UK stood for your Uncle Ken.

Yeah, that's him....
One of the stankingest, hair-sheddingest, varmints known to man...
I was presented a round tuit the night I got my MM degree.......I was trying to find it to take a picture........lots of folks never seen a round tuit.......
I never got a round tuit which is why I am behind the curve.
I have heard about snow in Kentucky during April and even May. A few years ago my wife was visiting her brother in Kentucky in late April and was getting ready to come back home.
She woke up to a pile of snow and texted me this picture. I told her to stay in Kentucky and I would leave the light on for her whenever it thawed out and she could get on I 75.
Did she listen to me, NO wives never do. So she made it to the North Georgia mountains and ended up over an embankment. Stuck. I think there were thousands of wrecks in North Georgia that night due to ice. So she had to leave her car over the hillside and a kind sheriff took her to a motel where she slept in the lobby because it was packed with stranded motorist. They put her up for no charge but she slept on the floor.
I called a wrecker service and they said they were over a week behind. as were all tow trucks in the area. ,So I jumped in my pick up and drove up to get her. The car was not damaged too bad and an old Georgia mountain boy came by with his four wheeler complete with wench and air pump. He was proud of. He said I'll get that thing out of the ditch. He did and she was back in business. I tried to pay him but my offer to pay him almost insulted him. He asked me, "if I was in the ditch would you pull me out. I said of course I would. That settled it, no money." I asked him if he drank beer and he did so I bought him two cases of his beer of choice. Miller Draft. Then we headed down the road. Wives can keep you jumping in more ways than one.
I have an old Dewalt 4" sander.....I bought it in the early 90's.....I got it out yesterday after it had been on the shelf for 10 years.......the rubber on the cord disintegrated........I had a cord for it that I had cabbaged off of a old vacuum cleaner...........20' cord or that bugger now........
Just got home!!! I am dun, hear me I am dun!!!!!
You don't have to tell me about round tuits, paid $100 apiece for 3 of them!
Does anyone know what happened to Ben101?
I have one in a cigar box with my wooden nickel and some other eclectic treasures and seem to have misplaced it for the moment. I've too many of those cigar boxes of junk.

Someone told me earlier today that if you've had the Phizer vaccine.....that you may have to have a third shot?
Anybody else hear this? Haven't had time to look into it. Someone I trust who's not into conspiracy theories.

They're saying booster shots maybe a possibility.
COVID-19 vaccine booster shots possibility
22News looked into what we know so far about how long vaccine protection lasts, and whether booster shots will be needed.

I had a 70 Chevelle SS with a 348 truck block, 427-390 horse heads............big Tarantula Eldenbrock intake with duel 1280 Holly carbs sticking up through the hood.....I don't remember the name of the shifter but it was a inline racing shifter........L-60s on the back and 13" wheels on the front......gas mileage was crap and being a young man with a new baby only being married a year......hard decisions are hard to make.....it was the hottest automobile I ever owned......It would pull the front wheels in 1st gear if you stood on it........I tried it one time.....almost put it in the river down in North Carolina where we were living.......scared the shit out of me and never tried that again.....
I'm also hearing rumors of booster's but with all the disinformation crap you don't know who to believe without investigation. Seems HCQ has been a remarkably effective treatment among the health care providers here in Horseville and the community more affected by the spike in suicides. My wife and I got our 2nd moderna last Friday and were uncomfortable for the weekend. Her response worse than mine. She had that Covid 19 arm.
I feel pretty chipper today, only a very mild headache. She's better as well but still dragging a bit. I'm not keen on more vaccinations to boost protection. Two seems like plenty. The fact that I was sicker with the 2nd indicates the 1st one worked and the light fever, mild headache seems an appropriate response to the second infection. Coronas will mutate and weaken. We flattened the infection curve. I trust my hopped up immune system to adapt to infection more than the delusional nonsense presented by deceitful media. And if I have treatment alternatives. I'm not convinced I kneed another vaccination anymore than I kneeded masking or needed to sanitize a nonporous surface in Arizona sun.

Gonna watch the Lady Cats volleyball team tonight in the Final 8. They seem like really good role models for today's messed up kids. Go Cats!
I had forgotten this morning that I needed to go to the golf course and figure out the scores from last weeks game. Sooo...after we finished that we played 18 holes. Had 5 birdies with 4 of them on the back nine.
Came home and did the dishes and mowed the grass. Went to the workshop and cut and sanded 20 cedar 3x3's for tee markers. They're 8 inches long and have 30° angles on either end. I made the blue, white, yellow, and red ones last month. These are for the holes that have silver tees. They look really nice and are a lot classier than the plastic blocks that were there for the last 35 years.
Heading back out there in a few minutes to put primer on the cut ends. I'll try to get the paint on them tomorrow.
Speaking of tomorrow, tee time is 1109. I won $40 on last weeks game and I'm ahead on the year.

You're twisting the dagger my friend. Twisting the dagger
Help me out on this. In all sports the active players don't have to wear a mask. Sweat and spit flying, in your face stuff. Then they sit on the bench, six feet apart and wear a mask. Is it me or does that not make any sense.
Sense left this country and its decision makers a while back. May not come back soon unless it gets an infusion from the people outside of the big cities.
Common sense no longer exists sad to say.
