I want to replace my trailer tires because of age. I want the most reliable
tires I can get. Should they be LT or T? Radial or bias? Does load range
matter. Max weight will be 1800 to 2400 lb including trailer. Should the
spare be replaced too? I will try to keep the speed down to 60 to save gas
but my speedo has a tendancy to creep to 70 or 75 when I'm not looking. I'm
not planning on adding trailer brakes as the tow vehicle is rated far
beyond the combined vehicle weights. Is that OK?

I think you should go water your bananas instead.

I don't get it.

Oh - wait - bananas have skins - tires are called skins.

Now I get it.

Still debating about a trip.

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

I'll see what I can do.

Note to justwaitafrekinmiute:

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.

I have never once claimed my 'Vette as a "sports" car.

It's a go fast in a straight line car that happens to be able to
corner sufficiently enough to make life interesting. :)

Just bustin' your chops.

A straight run drag race might still be interesting. I'd have to find
someone who knows how to drive the Porsche though. The factory issued
owner's manual lists 0-60 mph at under 4 seconds, but it assumes a driver
who knows what he/she is doing. Not me.

Yet.

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.

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