Yup, I sure did miss it Bill but myself, and the future Mrs. Me, had to meet with the wedding planner. To make the missed event worse, I picked up my new batteries here at Napa and one of the parts drivers wanted to know what the "big a$$" batteries were for. I think he knew because when I told him an M35, he then proceeded to tell me all about the gathering (he went there - looking for an old Dodge Ambulance [not sure of the M designation]). I can't even get out of town without getting ribbed.
Speaking of new batteries. I wanted to take my old batteries (for the core charge) to NAPA so as not to make 2 trips. I undid the cables and slid the battery tray out and then unknowingly (having never hefted one battery let alone two ) hefted it out of the opening of the truck.
Somebody help me!!! Wham!!
Them bastids is heavy!!! That tray hit the ground and dang near took off my foot!! Oh! MY BACK!!
What ticked me off is that I busted a small piece off of the plastic battery tray. @#)(%$)#@!!!!
Are these trays available anywhere? Not real bad but enought to piss me off and speak in tongues out loud - it made the neighbor look over the wall.
I am going to try and make the small gathering(s) here once a month at Glendale Community College the second Sunday of the month. Not a large contingent but close, and they speak green. Try and get Djfreema and to go an I'll try and grab Tony - a WWII and Korean Vet that has a REO Deuce by me.
By the way as a sidebar, I caught the March Air Force base airshow on the weekend of the Tower event here so not a total loss. Got to see the new F 22 Raptor fly, a Mig 21, the F 117, a B25, a P 38, and P 51's among other things.
That's all the details I have right now but will be sure and update as I hear more.
