Halogen Headlight conversion

I had done a "headlight '57" search and came up with Sylvania #6024. It read Halo- type lamp. I stopped there: one, because headlights are a bit premature, and two, I don't want to blind people in front of me at stop lights. Sitting 2' higher, even pointing 'em down, they are no fun fun to have on your back.

Which brings me to Rachel.
Her hair did grow back just fine, but not that you'd ever know because of all those wigs she liked so much. Never did smoke in bed after that though.

I can't tell you how many acres I watched her plow with Farmall while sitting there in Billy Rays drinking beer after beer night after night. Took me two years to notice the Tattoo artist put the distrib. on the wrong side.

Oh Rachel, she never did meet a stranger. No matter where we went there was always someone that knew her, or she knew them, or they wanted to know her.

I'll never forget the day I came home and she was gone.

snif, stylesider.

ROFLMAO, You should do a tech article man! Maytag fridge box, some black astro turf from the Home Depot. You would have blown my thread away. $400 under budget and down a week ago. You gotta quit holding out on us like this.

Sorry but I kind of lost it on tractor tattoo deal. John knows how I get all emotional when you start talking about half nekkid women flying my Farmall Red-Yankee Fifty Three Team colors. He does this stuff to me on purpose.

Styleside,
Sad to say 'Bubbaland' traded goats for guitars ('78704, More Than Just a State of Mind', Keep Austin Weird',etc.), and then guitars fer geeks. Speaking of fart pipes, all I've got to say is thank got with old age comes deafness....
Pass the Salsa!

You guys crack me up! Hell, and people say "Californians are so weird"... we've got nothing on you guys! I get a good chuckle just reading the friendly banter in these threads!

Too too much...

Sometimes I get pretty wrapped up in my assault on the Great State of Alabama. If at any time in our conversations here, you begin to lose sight of the fact that Californians are weird, please speak up so John or I can double back and clear that up for you. We don't want you forgetting the fundamentals.
