Tom stopped by and gave me a six-pack of some good ale and we talked a while. Same feelings here... he's a genuine good guy and welcome back anytime. Even if he's not a Gamecock / Spurrier fan. :-) |

That's not the intent, but I did try to let Tom off the hook for the lobsters. He said he was going to bring them down on his next trip. Either way is OK with me, I'm not the kind to get cranked up about something like that. But no lobsters, and I will make him wear a USC hat for a week. evil grin |

It's a very clean car, but Jack has pretty much located everything to put it back to rights. Love the black color. |

Nice! Thanks. Something about that vintage car captures my interest. * Never went for the real "oldies" (although I appreciate them). I had a '70 Torino GT in my senior year in high school. It was white with red interior, and had that yellow/red "laser" stripe down the side. This black one is my early mid-life crisis. Plus I love fabricating and pulling wrenches, so it's therapeutic. Funny story... I could have bought a '69 Super Bee, twin ram 383, parked but all matching in good shape back in '83 or so for $500. Passed on it. Duh! Another "one that got away" story... I like the muscle car era. Yeah, me too. Too many cars, not enough time. :-) Jack |

Now their coffers are empty and they are in a panic. Why is it that the state can't ever take a pay cut? |

You can't win. Eisboch In principal, I favor raising fuel taxes if the money raised is spent on road projects or ways to improve efficiency of cars and trucks. The problem is, the funds raised aren't earmarked for transportation. I spent an hour down at the boatyard this week helping a buddy haul and winterize his boat. Another friend was there (ok...it was an excuse to get out of the house and shoot the ****), a guy who is a much more avid fisherman than I am. He has a 28' boat with two big outboards on it. His boat is for sale. He can afford the gas for it whatever it costs, but thinks it is "stupid" to be burning "so much gas" for a hobby. So, as soon as his current boat is sold, he's downsizing to a 21-23' something or other. The way things are today economically, I think it smart to be very cautious about spending liquid assets. Obama is inheriting a world of woe. |
