60+ year old thread.

You really need to see it run and perform. It could be he didn't like the characteristics of it. Or like anything else something is not right with it. But I agree with your thinking.

 

Wow, ya'll are bringing back some fond memories from way back. Marlin Perkins and Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom followed by 60 Minutes on Sunday evenings, accompanied by pizza made from those Chef Boyardee kits that came in a box and ate by the whole family together in the family room ... and by golly I think the TV was a Magnavox console model.

LoL ... I just googled and learned they still carry those Chef Boyardee Pizza kits. I honestly had no idea.

 

Morning all:
Thanks Ken for bringing back old memories.
On the trip to Jackman Maine there was a sign with something about him along Rt. 201 near the Kennebec river, I think it was where he lived.
To this day that was my favorite fishing show, and he did it without all the modern technology. Maybe it was just what he fished for, or how he did it, but I always enjoyed watching him.

 

On a lighter note it looks like we are going to need a bigger chair in the oval office for new Democrat that is going to set there.

 

--------- Nuff said!

Just got a phone call about if I needed my "shimmney" cleaned!
First of all I have an unlisted #, and I told her that I clean my own chimney, end of conversation! No way am I going to let a stranger or strangers in the house to clean the "shimmney"!
Can only hope it's not a scam to rob old people!

 

I remember very well watching Wild Kingdom every Sunday evening. I don't think we had Gadabout; don't remember him.

 

And Marlin would stay back a safe distance while Jim works to release the Jaguar. LOL I loved that show. Jim Fowler actually opened a Wild Safari Park a few miles from where I live. It is now a six flags.

 

Springs are in, took about 1hr. 45min. Was watching through a window toward the end, and saw he had alignment gear attached to the wheels and was wrenching on the front end. Hope that was necessary after replacing the springs, I never needed to get a front end aligned on any of the Toyotas I owned and the tires were wearing perfect on this one.
Guess I'll know down the road!

 

When you replace the springs the thrust line can move. It makes the steering wheel off. No harm but I set the toe and center the wheel after each set.

 

I'm type rated in a Cherokee and Warrier. Plus a Cessna 152 Cessna 172 and I have my float rating. Don't fly now but can't take it away from me.

 

In Bingham Maine is an airport named after him. It's off 201

 

Might be what he was doing, a cocked steering wheel would drive me nuts!
That's probably where I saw it, we went right through Bingham on our way to Jackman.
on the plane ratings Mike, if anything, I would want to have the float rating.

 

It's the bomb. Fly in over the tree tops. Land on the lake. Wife didn't like it as much since she can't swim well.

 

Morning all:
Have her wear a life vest and tell her it will also help soften the blow if you crash!
On second thought, that may not be such a good idea!

 

U are suppose to have them

 

FYI. you tube has episodes of him. I'm starting to watch them.

 

Will search ... Thanks Mike.

 

Morning everyone. You Tube is great for finding stuff like this. Thanks Mike.

 

Morning Ken.

Yep, slow shift tonight, been watching some myself ... listening to him reminds me of my father in law ... Something in the descriptive manner and patterns of speech. Very entertaining shows.
