Haven't seen Chuck around lately. Is he on a trip or did he finally
just
get sick of all the politics and name-calling?


He bailed out the day before you got back. Said something about
being sick of all the sheriffing in here.


He was doing most of the "sheriffing" around here, and that after he
bailed, it suddenly got worse.

Didn't he say that he was going on a trip in his newly refurbished
boat, and wouldn't be back for a while?

Yeah but did you have to tell John.


Do you find it a more agreeable place with the name-calling and mud
slinging?

I'd hope not.

Have you had your mom out on the sailboat? Just before my mom died, at
age
75, she moved in with me. One day she asked for a motorcycle ride, so we
took off for the Snickersville Turnpike, one of my favorite short rides
in
the area. She was thrilled, loving every minute of it.

Her days of boating are past. Arthritis in her knees makes her unsteady
so she uses a rollator (fancy walker) all the time.
She does love to go for drives though and will come with us on the 18th
when we head south/west (Digby & Yarmouth NS areas) to attend my youngest
sister's 50th birthday get-together and pick up our new puppy.


Glad to hear your Mom is still getting on OK.

What kind of dog are you getting Don?

English Springer Spaniel
Here are a couple pictures at 7 weeks that the breeders sent us on Monday.

Nice looking dog Don!



Thanks. I wasn't fussy about getting a dog just yet but the wife got
really excited about it a few months ago. She was ready to pay for it
herself when mom passed her a cheque for the entire amount.
Guess all I'll have to do is walk it twice a day, feed it and cleanup
after it.

Don, this *is* the same dog you mentioned and provided the pics of last
week (or the week before), isn't it?

Have you picked a name for the pooch yet?

Yes it is... I gave you the breeders site and the dog's name is Bronson.

Good copy, good buddy.

Just came back from a long ride over to Carver in the General Lee. The new
engine is really running good. Came back via the new section of Rt. 44 and
out of the blue I got a state trooper coming up behind me, lights flashing
and gaining fast. I wasn't speeding, so I figured he must have had a
problem with the glass pacs. He pulled up beside me, gave a big grin,
thumbs up and took off.

I really wish they wouldn't do that.

10-99

How much do you want to bet the car is on the cop's DVD or tape and
when he get's back to the station, you are going to be the star?


Yep. ;-) And I can understand how frustrating that can be for him when
all he wants is a nice relaxing ride in the car. Who needs that sort of BS
scare?

It really wasn't a scare. It happened so fast I really didn't know what to
think, so I assumed he had some problem with the exhaust sound (it *is* a
bit loud) or maybe there was something wrong with the car.

I don't drive crazy in the old cars ... so if they are after me it's for
another reason.
The M5 is a different story. That son of a gun is going to cost me my
license someday. Ya just can't help it.

Yep. And that is the reason I will not buy a muscle car of any type. ;-)

I drove my brother in laws 1995 5L Mustang a year after he bought it and
came to that conclusion then.

Funny that you say that. The true "muscle car" era was very short-lived.
It's origins was in the early 60's with limited availability to the
consumer - manufacturers had to build a minimum number of car models and
engines (427 Ford, 426 hemi Chrysler) engines a year to qualify as "stock"
for NASCAR racing purposes. The 1964 Pontiac Tempest GTO is considered by
many to be the first mass produced "muscle car". (It's an interesting story
how how John DeLoreon managed sneak that one by the Board of Directors at
Pontiac). But, by the end of the 60's the fed had started imposing emission
requirements that lowered compression ratios and horsepower. By 1972 there
was no longer a true stock "muscle car".

Now, within the past 5 years or so and due to advancements in engineering
and engine design, there are some current model cars that can outperform
their 1960 something counterparts. For example, the new Dodge Charger R/T
with the mini-hemi is faster than a '69 Charger R/T with the high output
440.
Not by much ... but it's faster and handles much better. Same is true of
the limited production version of the new GTO.

So .... you may be driving a muscle car and not even realize it.
