  1. Always has been one of the better colors for hot-rods, IMHO. My own '32 will probably be some shade of dark maroon as well.
  2. Funny. I never seem to have any problem...squirrel...
  3. "Sketch your design ideas before starting to make them" has saved me from wasting time on ugly messes more than once.
  4. Preach living by the Golden Rule, respect for Truth, rationality, and taking responsibility for one's own actions...and everything would get measurably better.
  5. Great looking truck. You don't see many cabovers on the roads anymore. I miss 'em.
  6. Went for what I thought was going to be a nice relaxing hike yesterday, and of course the sides of the trail were littered with the now ubiquitous little plastic bags of dog owners' brains. But the most maddening was the little 6" box turtle someone had stomped to death, left in the middle of the trail, covered with flies. No question about it being a "natural" death with a shattered shell, and not a "predator" kill, as there were multiple sets of boot prints around the thing, obviously from a joyous killing dance. While we do have wild coyotes capable of getting into a turtle shell the size of the one on the trail, they don't wear boots, nor do they smash the shells flat and leave the meat inside. I hate evil, stupid people.
  7. Oh man, that's sweet. Really sweet. My favorite of all the Italian exotics. Beautiful work, sir.
  8. Exactly. But the world doesn't work via logical solutions, and it's just getting worse.
  9. '70s were the most intense years of my life, some of the best and some of the worst.
  10. Westminster Abbey was initially built by Henry III in 1245, and is one of the most important Gothic buildings in England.
  11. There's always one...
  12. Crue be like homies but speld rong.
  13. "City girls just seem to find out early, how to open doors with just a smile" should be "pretty girls..."
  14. Day to day problems you learn to take in stride, though having to compensate constantly for slackers and incompetents just to make a living really gets old...but if you're not self-employed, you won't understand.
  15. Today was a pretty good day, actually; nowhere near as many chimps to corral as usual.
  16. Yup...and ever see one of 'em, just ONCE, use a torque wrench?
  17. I've heard that argument, but consider the extra manufacturing steps and material required to make and install that ridiculous stainless cover, as opposed to just shiny-plating the simple nut. I don't buy it. Maybe somebody's cost analysis using "new-math"?
  18. Some things are stranger than fiction. Maybe...ummm... "she's real bland, my Ford Transit Minivan" to the old 409 tune?
