Good morning @Wat_Tyler

 

[Wat_Tyler]

3 am club strikes again....

I woke up and 0230. I rolled over and gave it another hour, said the f-bomb, and got up. Fixin'ta pour cuppa #2. It's pack-'em-up day. Got to do a wee clean on the job here and then ride down to the next brief assignment for orientation. Getting up to speed on the new job, one tidbit at a time.


Oh, my new/rebuilt big iPad wouldn't charge. No idea why. When the battery died, it rebooted itself and then started tookening a charge again. Who knew???

Good morning @Wat_Tyler

Mornin', Good Sir!!!

Good morning Boat1 and others of the Spoon. I had trouble getting to sleep and then staying asleep. My hip hurts, took ibuprofen, waiting for it to kick in. The good news for our nurses, no more bleeding and no fever. I am going to try to get some sleep. See you later.

Mornin', Good Sir!!!

I've seen you around on enough channels to think that we "align" in a lot of ways...
I'll DM you about it sometime, if you like, but would you possibly be interested in a classic Chevy or two?

Good morning and feel better soon!
I hope you get some good, quality sleep!!!

I had 2 Chebbies in a row that broke my heart and I drive Dodges/Rams any more. My classic interests are 1941-1947 Packard Clippers. I like the short wheel-base coupes the best, and I wanna build a ballsy inline 8 for one or two of the ones I have accumulated.


I do still respect old Chevies. I'd kind of like a '32 coupe.


Don't tell Wonderer67 - he likes Fords.

I LOVE the 32 coupe, but we don't have anything that old.

I haven't seen any Packards in a while

My grandfather got me into the oldies but goodies. I have two '41s. I do keep my eyes open for late 20s early 30s Chryslers. Maybe . . . .

I post pictures sometimes. Mine and others.

I guess I probably shouldn't tell him that dad wouldn't allow a Ford in his driveway. Lol

 

[Boat1]

Dad almost disowned me when I bought a VW Baja bug.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Gramps hated imports.


He hated unions, too, but could abide the UAW for cranking out Deeetroit steel.

My most recent Packard acquisition. Such a deal. And it's a CCCA full classic, the last that Packard made:

I know. She sends it through the Ethylsphere. Kitten, too. The boys are good. The girls oppress them.

I'm making more than I ever have, and I've had an easy first 2 weeks here. Next week isn't sounding all that bad, either. I make phone calls, I look at plans and read spreadsheets, and I write reports. Wash, rinse, repeat. They're polite and helpful. I can do that, too, so I will. It's almost phoning it in but I have to be here. I can deal because they pay for travel. Generously.

SAHWHEET!!!

Biggest engines outta Deeetroit that year, and the overdrive models were the fastest cars.


Don't tell Wonderer67 . . . his Fords didn't keep up.

 

[Boat1]

Bet it is hard for her too.... I bet you bothe are a great team

Thanks! It is hard for her... we do work well together... she's who I've sought for my entire life.
I might tell our story one day.

How nice to hear.... it is a lot of work to keep a marriage together across distance. I saw it with my own parents. My dad was an over the road truck driver.... my mom had a lot of work on her hands
