good morning and one step closer to overload spring wanted thread at >25 posts post

 

Good Morning So Cal. No wind today! Yay! Maybe I can rake my leaves, and the yard will stay clear... nah, don't want to chance it.

 

speaking of taking chances, ever try to drive a cabover through the wind with no stabilizers and missing overloads? chyyyyahhhh not doing that again.

another selection from the dept of cool stories

 

Did you do that yesterday?

 

not yesterday, but more than once in the past.

first time was when i was bringing the camper down from Washington, heat stranded me at the Westley roadside rest area. so i slept/waited until the middle of the night and instead fought the infamous side wind all the way down to Bakersfield.

second time was leaving Desert Hot Springs, got hit by a sudden side blast that almost blew us over. then we fought the heat all the way home, having to stop every half dozen exits or so to cool off. wheeeee!

 

At least there's a fresh fruit/nut stand @ the Westley exit

 

Sounds like major PITA to drive that thing.

 

as long as it isn't over 90*F or windy out everything is fine. hopefully after i get the missing overloads back in it it won't be so hair-raising to drive!

 

Morning guys & gals,

It's a beautiful Saturday (so far), so let's do what we do best... enjoy the weekend!

 

Morning So Cal FTE'ers, and anyone else who views this thread It is a beautiful day out there, so go and enjoy it!

 

Just wanted to share....

New pics from lastnights Polar Express are posted in my album. I found a picture of the Polar Express Steam Engine before it was put up for the winter too!

 

Happy to see Iggy still entertaining at 64!

Live review: Iggy, Stooges stay in attack mode - latimes.com

 

nice article. i got to see them along with Social D at that same venue, some time ago

 

Does Iggy even own a shirt? Don't think I've ever seen a pic of him wearing one


Off to dine...Frantones

 

Swapped a FICM yesterday - twice. Attended a company dinner where I won a set of 3 ton jack stands and a portable BBQ, and other assorted bag-o-crap stuff. Just got off the phone with a friend of mine. Life long Chevy owner, as well as a former GM employee and son of a career GM employee. Friend Bob couldn't wait to tell me he was the proud new owner of an '06 V-10 Superduty. Took 35 years of friendship, but I finally won him over to the winning side. I hope the truck treats him right.
