I'm surprised they didn't bill you for a missed appointment.

My old man had an eye appointment that he had to wait for over an hour for. He laid into them for that, he was that kind of guy. After that when he had an eye appointment he got in right away.

One of these Peugeots, not the convertible, was the first car I bought when I was stationed at Hickam AFB in Honolulu, Hawaii from 1965 to 1968. One thing I think most people aren't aware of is that Honolulu is lousy with cockroaches. After having the car for about a week I opened the truck and dozens, if not a hundred, roaches scurred around trying to find a place to hide. I got a can of Raid, closed the windows and emptied that can in the car. The next morning there were dead roaches all over the place. Swept and vacuumed them out and didn't have a problem with that car after that as long as I had it, which wasn't that long - at least as far as the roaches were concerned. Other problems, yes, but no roaches.

Also a twist with a socket wrench and breaker bar on the crankshaft pulley nut would work, especially if you had an automatic tranny.

I had a 70's era Ford Granada but didn't have any problems with the paint - which was a kind of ugly green color. However, I had a Ford E350 van that had the paint peeling off the roof. I would drag out my ladder and touch-up the paint which wasn't too much of a problem since the van was white. It did have that humongous V-10 engine that I wish it didn't have but it did have something I did need - a wheelchair lift for the wife. That lift also came in handy when I needed to transport large, heavy items like a snow throwing machine, a compressor and other things.

Last year I bought an $18.00 bag of candy at Costco. Want to know how much was left at end of the night? All of it. Didn't have any T-or-Ters. I'm still debating where I will buy any candy this year. If I do it won't be much and it will be something I like.

My son-in-law was a supervisor building those two Memorial Gates at each end of that pond. He spent a couple years in OKC on them.

The thing with the quarter at the bottom of the container will let you know the power was out for quite a while. With the flashing clocks the power could have been out for only a second.

Since I never watched the Man from U.N.C.L.E. I had to look up Ilya Kuryakin.

BTW, it's not Gail according to Google.

When I saw the title that's who I thought the post was going to be about.

This is one of Jerry's posts where he is trying to reclaim the title of topic starter rank #1.

I tried to go to Auotextremist.com but it said that the site can't be reached.

I have come to like the new format. The way I work it now is I open the Digest in my email. From there I click on "Newest Pictures" and go through the first 12 pages of photos. I'll click on any photo that looks interesting to me but there aren't that many.
After that I will click on "Home" in the upper left which will list the sections I subscribe to. Then I go to the General Chit-Chat section and check out any posts that I haven't already seen, avoiding any post that is only a link to something else. I will then quickly check a few of the sections I subscribe to (Trains, Panoramas, Landscape, Black and White Photography, and a couple others) to see if there is anything new. Usually there isn't anything new.
This new procedure has cut way down on the amount of time I spend on UHH - which is a good thing.

That spider silk is holding the rosebud up, keeping it from leaning over.

Looks to me that the bed of the truck has a cover on it. I bet the board wouldn't lay flat in the bed. I have had a few p/u's over the years but never had a cover for the beds. Don't know what you do with the cover if whatever is in the bed is too big for the cover.
