okay-----you know what? I'm feeling bored. So, after I rake some leaves, I'll board a plane bound for Zurich, and eat dinner in a lovely French restaurant, there. Then, board a plane for the trip home, and watch moo-vvees or read novels on the way. Yup. How does that sound to you kids?
okay----well, day before yesterday, I hadta make an emergeny run ta the wreckin' yard. See---the s 10 tailgate for my portable storage shed was missing the inner hinge bracket. The wreckin' yard has just ONE ol' early s 10 in stock. They've been outta perduction for 30 years, now! I've had mine for well over 20 years, and never driven it, anywhere. Anyway, I pulled all 4 of the tailgate hinge brackets, plus screws, and then grabbed the gauge cluster lense outta that van(for future use), plus there was a 79 C10 that had a recent set of taiwan hood hinges on it that I saw last time(a month ago), so I grabbed them, to place in my inventory. Yup. Also, a decent Rally Center cap missing the center emblem. Also, measured some car seats for possible use in my Packard project. Hafta wait until a really nice set o' caddy seats turn up. Hope that helps you kids some. Thankk mee.
okay-----over the weekend, I did some VERY important stuff. Yup. One thing was ta go over to a nearby place in a residential area, where a guy has a small auto salvage parts yard. He has his home and the backyard, and another small house he acquired, that backs up to his. Anyway, he's COMPLETELY fenced it off, so it is not visible to zer gestapo. Yup. Anyway, I pulled the cam folloers out've an oooooold Stude-O-baker, which I can use. But yeah---I plan to send them to a machine shop to have them reground. Yup.
okay---this just in. You kids prolly already know, and could(n't) care less. But yeah---Celebrity Teri Garr has passed. She managed to do just enough o' this n that, to get by. Her biggest gigs were appearing on Letterman, decades ago, when he was still trying to find a mate. As you kids know--it is VERY difficult for comedians in that respect. They are always "On", and wimmin are no-nonsense critters. Yup. Where was I? Oh yeah---after about Gars 50th appearance on Letterman, it became apparent that Letterman was very um, attracted to Garr, because he wasn't quite as smart-alecky as usual. See? Did you kids ever notice that? Hope that helps you some. Thank mee. (see photos)
okay
No grief on account of Ms Garr? Anyone? Well, okay---in Zurra, there are Gar Fish(one R). They live in brackish waters, because its slimy-er, I guess. How'd you kids liketa order the halloween fish special at your fav-o-rite rest-o-rant, and be served yummy gar fish? (see photo) Yup.
okay----over ta wal-mart, right where you walk in(or out), they got this bin of fleece-y things---flat material(3x5) fleece-y on one side, plain on the other. They are not throw rugs; too thin for that. But the catts managed to find a purpose for them, as layers during nap time. The next time I went ta wal-mart, I picked up yet another fleece-y thing, as a spare. But yeah---just thought I'd mention it. Hope that helps you some. And your catts. Thankk mee.
okay----I was able to acquire some damaged, salvage scrap material from a place that specializes in top-quality junk. Yup. Anyway---what it is is plywood that is 44" x 40" and approx 1" thick, and has some lind of thin vinyl(?) overlay on both sides. I figure it's salvage from shipping containers or something to do with material handling. I salvaged 6 pieces, and set them on the front steps, out here. OZn piece, I cut in approximate halves, today, for utility tables. Another four pieces will be used to build a heavy-duty dogg house. Yup. I had to journey to the nearby lowes for a more suitable circular-saw blade, after cutting the first one in half. See?
okay-----here's something I ran across: a photo of (supposedly) the last Huttson they ever made. (see photo) 1957: End of story; no more Huttsons. Nope. But yeah---howdja liketa have that one in your collection? Thankk mee.
