ROAD TRIP!!!!

Speaking of road trips ....

I received a call today from a guy I met a couple of years ago at a
classic
car show. He had an absolutely beautiful '63 Ford Galaxie 500
Convertible
that I was drooling over. I don't know why, but I've always liked this
particular Ford year and have been searching off and on for one for
several
years. They are hard to find that are in good shape and reasonably
priced.

Anyway, he has decided to sell it and had saved my telephone number from
the
time we met.

I am going over to his house tomorrow with a check.

Crazy. I've been getting rid of most of the old cars ..... sold the '46
Ford, the '64 Ford, the '55 F-100 and gave the '69 Charger away. I have
kept the '67 GTO and the Porsche (just in case I run into wiseguys with
Corvettes). Now, I am starting over again. Oh well.

Speaking of Vette's, my kid would kill for a ride in a fast Corvette?
Wonder if I know anyone who has one;)

Just borrow it from Tom. Great opportunity to teach your kid how to drive.

Got my kid a motorcycle for Christmas, manual transmission, 4 speed..
These kids are amazing. They are so used to analog controls from X-Box
that after a couple of verbal lessons, backed up with a couple of
drawings on the workings of the machine, my kid got on and drove it
away. Probably stalled it 4 - 5 times since then, that's all. As soon
as the weather breaks, we are going to try the Blazer... I like to
teach my kids to drive young, my last one learned in my Jeep. I drove
up to the state park and down a dirt road to a dead end, put her in
the drivers seat and told her to back it out! Told her anyone could go
forward, that's easy. If you can back it out of here, you can take it
anywyere... Seriously, that was the first time she drove, or worked a
clutch... The scarey part was later that week when I took her out on
the highway. Getting on the ramp she looked over her shoulder and
turned did not think to keep the wheel straight. Up on two wheels, one
side, then the other, but we did not flip;) She pulled over, had a
cry, a cigarette, and we drove off again...

Buying a motorcycle for a kid....????
Please make sure he understands how dangerous they can be. *A field trip to
a nearby trauma center might be in order.- Hide quoted text -

It's a dirt bike. We spent more on safety equipment than the bike.
Full bell face helmet with shield and Fox Goggles
Full chest and torso protector with shoulder and upper arm, kidney
collarbone protection, etc.
Steel shank riding boots
Full leather jacket with more padding
Padded pants
Protective gloves
Elbow and Knee pads..
All black and pink, with the FOX gear logo, which of course added a
lot of pricey to it all but it's worth it.
We are joining two seperate racing orginazations, all sanctioned, all
very controled environments..

Motocross is dangerous, most of the activities I do with my kids are.
They know the risks, we make the decisions together knowing the
possibilities an assessing the risks so as to manage them as
responsibly as possible... Thanks for your concern.

Guess I shouldn't mention that if the grades stay good, my kid has
been promised to be the first kid to drive up to school on a Harley...
Pink of course...;)

When your kid is done riding in that plaything, send him over here. I'll
take him for a ride in a *real* sports car.

Can I bring my guitar and hook it up in that room? ;)



Sure.

I've been seriously trying to relearn the guitar, this time doing things the
right way and it makes a big difference.
Eric Clapton has nothing to worry about but my playing has improved
considerably over the winter.
It seems like the better you get and the more flexible your fingers get, the
progress gets faster.

I love the "Blackie". I bought a dedicated Fender amp for it because it
seemed to overpower the inputs of the Marshall amp I had been using due to
the built-in preamp. I like the "clean" sound, so any distortion bugs me.
It sounds great with the Fender amp.

I also took another inexpensive, but decent Peavey "Strat" clone and tuned
it in an open "G" tuning. What a blast! Easy to play and people who know
me and my lack of ability are blown away.

My favorite is the Les Paul Gibson. I got a Vox tube amp for it for that
warm, classic Gibson sound. Both the Vox and Fender amps have DSP circuits
in them (new to me) that can be set up to emulate the sound of many
different classic amps along with various effects such as chorus, flanger,
tremolo, rotation (Leslie speaker sound), etc.

It's been a good way to kill the winter.

Yeah, it's funny that when I first started playing the first thing I
did was go out and get a distortion pedal for my cheap strat. After
buying my last guitar, I find I just want to hear the guitar, clean..
well, sort of. It has dual Sam Duncan Humbuckers which give it a
little fullness, but I can switch them on and off... The action is so
light and the neck makes a very cool sound (it's not wood). Right now
I am trying to find strings I like for it, but I really don't know
what I am looking for. I need to take lessons soon, I am getting
frrustrated that I don't get better but I just don't know which
direction to go. I love the sound of electric, but find myself playing
more old acoustic stuff... Creedence, Dylan, CSNY... I am soooo
confused...

I am embarrassed to admit no. Last April, after dropping 65 lbs, I stopped
the rigid diet and exercise routine because I was outdoors and physically
active but still tried to watch how much I ate or drank. I did ok all last
summer and for a good part of this winter, but now I have realized that I've
regained about half of what I lost.

That's next. I have to get myself mentally pumped up again and start back
into the walking/running/weight lifting routine.
I don't think I have to go as rigid with the dieting, but I need to lose
some. I got down to 195 lbs (from 260) last time and everybody, including
the doc, said not to lose anymore. I need to be around 205-210 and right
now I am at about 225.

The hardest part is just getting started. I use a health club, and I
have found going in the morning helps to get the day started and going
in the evening helps to control my evening appetite. I have never had a
problem eating correctly during the day, it is at night when I eat too
much of the wrong stuff.

Do four miles on a treadmill, then go hit a hundred balls at the driving
range. I figure that's as good as walking 18 holes.

Learning the "right" way IS important. I did the same thing. Knocked
around for years, then started taking lessons from a very reputable
local guy. He told me to forget about half of what I thought I knew. I
didn't see the reasoning until a couple of months later and I noticed
I was able to do things that before I had worked and worked on.

Two cars I want rebuild before I die. I 1964 Galaxy XL (hardtop or
convert. I'm not choosy!), and also a 1965 (body style change) Galaxy
XL.

The '64 Galaxie 500 XL is arguably the nicest looking Galaxie of all time.
I still prefer the '63 however. *I had a nice, '62 "Sunliner" convertible a
few years back and a plain-Jane '65 Ford "Custom" with the 300 ci straight
six for a while. *Also had a '66 LTD ... maroon with black vinyl top.
Showing my age though. *The '66 wasn't a "collector". * It was our primary
transportation for a couple of years back in the early 70's.

Eisboch

Yes, I think the 64 is a thing of beauty. I had a 65 Galaxy, not an
XL, that the unibody "frame' rusted in half (western NY) and then a
white 65 Custom like yours. These were in my youth and VERY used! I
had a 69 Fairlane 500 hardtop (fastback) that I really liked. It had a
250 straight six in it, then I later got a 289 HiPo out of a wrecked
Mustang and put in it. Didn't the 62 Sunliner have the tailights that
looked like a frown? Or was that the 61?
