    Cops visited us tonight.

    I once had a Captain tell me he didn't like me stopping cars on the freeway, it's the CHP's job. So explained to him that I needed to take the freeway to get to the contract city and if he was ordering me not to take any police action at an offense committed in my presence, I needed it in...

    Cops visited us tonight.

    After a couple of decades on "the job', I was sent to a neighbprhood watch meeting on my "beat". Now most supervisors "know" better than to send me, I tried to warn them but they wouldn't listen. Anyway, after a few speeches by the coordinator, it was my turn. I asked the audience if anyone had...

    What you don't buy Chinese parts......

    A Chinese airliner had to touch down in Germany due to low fuel. It was an unscheduled stop. Upon inspection by the Germany ground crew who are quite picky about maintenance, the airliner was grounded. Lucky passengers. Apparently, the fan blades on jet engines are supposed to be perfectly...

    How Ratrods got a bad rap on other forums

    I saw a Model A rat rod sedan at a show. The owner leaned against it and the whole body tilted. I looked inside and all the wood had been removed. The floor was marginal and the was no transmission tunnel. Just an exposed driveshaft. If the front u-joint ever went,,,,yeowwwwwwww!

    Funny story my Dad told me.

    My Dad was a long haul truck driver. One day, he pulls into a truck stop, jumps out of the cab and walks towards the office. He gets half way there when suddenly, all the workers come running out of the garage area and whoosh pass my Dad. My Dad, thinking somethings going to explode, spins...

    How rusty is too rusty?

    For builders that can weld, nothing is too rusty. For someone like me, I tried welding once and I was terrible. Therefore, I only bought cars with little or no rust. No that I'm retired on a fixed income, I only but cars with good bodies and fair paint. When I get too old to turn a wrench, it...

    Speedway does carry axles for parallel leaf springs in various widths. Usually used for "Gasser" set ups, but I believe you can order the axle separate.

    Best offer I've had, what's it worth?

    I think it would be easier to sell the car than the bus.

    Clothes do make the man !

    What gets me is, I was brought up to show respect and you always "dress" for funerals and weddings. I have always had a black suit just for funerals. When my brother-n-law died in a car crash, 35 years ago, his friends showed up in torn jeans and Black Sabbeth T-shirts. Some people wore Hawaiian...

    Finishing Touch

    Funny, I couldn't find the name brand on the unit. It was installed by a local company that only does air conditioning for cars. I looked at various web-sites and couldn't find a match. The company is called Budget Mobile Air. It took 3 days and the original quote was $2000. He charged me $1700...
