Almost forgot One!!

 

1963 Falcon Futura. Only year for a round body Falcon with a convertible top. Currently has a T5 5 speed transmission out of a '89 V8 Mustang.

I've got Crohn's - so I know all to well about a colonoscopy. Definitely get knocked out. Have had it both ways. When your awake, you get to hear the Dr say "some slight pressure" - slight? Yeah, right...

 

We had a couple mornings where the frost on the windshield was thinner than what you'd see on a beer mug.

 

grandpa had a Falcon .... black that he kept super clean... until he slid into a bridge abutment and killed it

Better to be awake than deal with the after effects of the versed!!!!

 

We have rock but this area has been worked a lot. There was at least 2 layers of new and abandoned utilities dating back to (the best I can figure) the late 60's/early 70's. Old water line, old phone lines so we chopped that crap out. It was the deepest, probably 36" at best with the newer utilities layed on top. There's no traffic to speak of through there except a couple golf carts, but I still try to get stuff down at least a foot.

 

Yup, the after affects are not good if you're sensitive to the anestia. I make sure I tell the Dr that I get sick and they give me anti nausea medicine.

 

If they would let me sleep it off, that'd be ok. But NO, you have to get up and leave as soon as they are done with you. So then who knows what you do or say until you wake up 3 hours later. No thanks. Give me something so that when I wake up, I wake up!!

 

6' here by code but it isn't enough. 3 years ago the frost line went more than 10' deep. Code is supposed to be frost line plus 1 foot. Lot of lines including city lines froze then.

Rocks? I'll show you Rocks! Farms I grew up working on grew rocks. Hell the yard grew rocks every spring from frost heave and I had to rake them out. Had a rock pile down by the crick where we dumped them all. AKA snake pit, they loved that rock pile. The area was a glacier moraine deposit.

When I was in HS worked for a farm and feed store that also installed chain link fences in town. Guess who got to operate the post hole digger. Which really meant pry bar and sledge hammer. And no we didn't have power diggers back then. Imagine it would break your wrist if you tried to use one. Yeah rocks can be a pain I hear you!

 

Susan -- trust me you will love the "eyesight " system -- especially the ACC part of it -- really makes longer drives on highways where it is safe to use Cruise control much more relaxed. If I had one complaint it would be that trailing a car when they slow down gradually - you may not notice it. Also with the driver (you ) being able to set the following distance it has turned me into a more "tolerant and patient" driver. They will try to fill in the "holes" you allow between you and the other car --then you just say "oh well so what"
Enjoy your new OB -- we sure like ours!

 

Why am I up.
Damn back was so tight I fell asleep once I had the tens unit on. Now awake.

 

Here I am too.

Rocks, the non-seasonal ice of the earth.

 

I'm here also !!!

 

morning

 

love the poll!! lol

 

here.

 

Good morning everyone and happy Friday eve! Have a wonderful day! It's not easy trying to seem positive this early in the morning but I'm trying.

 

Morning.
I'm not very positive at all right now.

 

I'm positive I need to find something else to do for a living and closer to home. Hey at least I'm positive about something

 

Technology is making drivers dumber and much less skilled. For drivers that actually "drive" is a very dangerous. I have had numerous occasions that the vehicle I was test driving did something I did not want it to do and without my driving skill that I LEARNED and HONED a serious issue would have happened.
People don't even know how to TURN ON THEIR FRIGGIN LIGHTS.
just remember, all this fancy shit costs a lot of money. How happy are you gonna be when to fix your turn signals is gonna cost you $1000 bucks because one side won't blink. You can't diagnose it. All computer talk between computers.
There is only one computer necessary in your car. The one between your ears.
Ok rant over for this morning.
