    My guess is Bob is shorter that the previous owner.

    By moving the brake pedal, does it make the pedal weaker?

    Well, if you half ass it yes.
    We could be talking relocating the pedal box. So I we had a discussion about that and he still bought the car. So I have no dog in the fight. However, Bob likes to lay down so that will take a foot off the total length of the drivers compartment.
    Until it gets here in a few weeks, it’s all a guessing game

    Snow season won't be truly over until June. Weird weather has happened before.

    Was anything moved to accommodate the 6 ft driver before Bob. The cockpit must be small on the Elva.

    Love a close ballgame with action to the end like that.
    Your tax $ just bought me a pair of Ray Ban polarized sunglasses, thank you VA. Best glasses I've ever owned, the depth perception and clarity is phenomenol, even indoors low light. Always wondered how some celebrities could wear sunglasses all the time and not trip all over themselves, now I know.

    For the dusk & dawn driving you might try shooter lenses, with the yellow/amber tint. For Stitch's LED ditch lights and lightbar I went with amber color vs white. They truly define depth of terrain without the glare white LEDs produce. I hope you continue healing and adapting. Vision is so important to one's quality of life. Take care my good friend and mentor.

    Good Morning Folks. Overcast today with possible showers coming in from Mark's (Devious 6) area. What a lousy spring so far. Hope everyone has a good day and most portable, be safe.

    A little something every chance we get.
    :pccoffee: Good Morning Porch Pals & Gals! Well, what's it gonna be? Work more on the tools, or potted plants and yard? Hmmm... I have some tool organizers coming today, so, I could prep for that. No rain until Monday, so good day for plants. Hmmm...

    Probably, should get more coffee, then make a return and WalMart and pick up some tacos. Maybe then my mission will be clear!

    I just started watching that series yesterday.

    The one I can't figure out why they are ending it is the new Lost in Space. The woman that plays Dr. Smith is so flippin' good at the part. Well cast, great sets and special effects, and maybe a little weak on the writing but better than most. And it will be ending? Why?

    Budget and energy by all involved. What was there, two or three seasons? We watched it... I think all episodes?

    The missus is hooked on the British sitcom Call the Midwife..:annoyed:. Women screaming, and babies crying in every episode. I leave the room and go to my office with the doors closed. I hope it ends soon. :boom:

    When my wife got preggy with the first one I got certified, along with her, as a Childbirth Educator. Worked with a lot of midwives, doulas, lactation specialists... and even had a ten year old kid pound on the door one day and when we opened it he blurted out, "Come quick, Momma's havin' the baby."... and I arrived just in time to catch it.

    I kinda like the show. It's well written and one of the few that seems to still have new themes going on after years.

    Besides, I ranched and kinda like babies. I prefer bovine but they are all little miracles.

    Too much noise for me. I love kids, puppies and kittens, but to watch the show, not my cup of tea. She has seen all the seasons from the first and is now on the last season. I try to stay away from too much TV. A good book is much better. :thumbsup:
