  1. Light up the drive tires in front of a traffic cop and you'll probably get an exhibition of speed ticket.
  2. Work smart and you may get the task accomplished without having to work really hard.
  3. There are many ways to build a model car kit, especially with today's 3D printed accessories, but kit bashing is still my favorite way to be creative.
  4. One of the curses of an affluent society is men having the means to acquire motor vehicles, power tools and other apparatus and "toys" that they have no business being around, much less attempting to operate.
  5. Era of placing value and respect on skilled labor careers is finally making its way back.
  6. Evening, just as the sun dips into the ocean and the sky turns glorious shades of red, orange and gold, is my favorite time of the day.
  7. Was gonna buy a 550 DXC for Desert Racing but bought a Kawasaki KX500 instead. Ya know that KTM is an acronym for Keeps Taking Money, right?... 😜😜😜
  8. Days of the future will, hopefully, remind us of some of the really good days of the past.
  9. Last night, a Great Horned Owl perched in my Oak Tree and called for a while. We have different species of Owls nearby and occasionally they get into very interesting conversations. I could listen to them for hours.
  10. It was discovered that northbound armadillos became suicidal as they traveled up Highway 44 just outside of Oklahoma City.
  11. "If you don't play, you can't win!" states the California Lotto propaganda machine, uh, I mean television and radio ads... When California was pushing to legalize lottery gambling back in the early 80s, they SWORE that the lottery would supply the public schools with so much money we'd NEVER see another school bond issue on the state ballot. I don't think it took ONE voting cycle for THAT to turn out to be a lie...
  12. Lungs with great capacity are good to have if you try to hold your breath under water for a long time.
  13. Gear shifting in the transmission was FINE, it was the rear end that blew up.
  14. Coming out of physical therapy today, I ran across an auto transporter full of new Corvettes stopped in the middle of the street unloading a yellow one at a Chevy Dealer. All the rest were hidden beneath white car covers.
  15. '56 was the only year of that generation F100 that had a wrap-around windshield.
  16. Gear breakage is what happened to the Mopar 7-1/4 inch integral differential in my brother's '70 Duster after I built and installed a "very firm shift" valve body in his 904LA automatic transmission.
