IHADAV8 Playground / Finally, Damn It!

« on: March 06 2009, 03:05:06 PM »

After 13 months, I managed to get all four bolts off the brake booster in my '69!!  And, I did not take the hood off, pull the engine, and remove the wiper motor.  That would have been far too easy.  I only lost one wrench which ain't bad altho' it was the 9/16" ratcheting box end that I bought especially for this one job.  Rather I bought a whole friggin' set because that seemed cheaper than buying just the one I needed...

Not too shabby for an old man with one eye and a mini mag lite!

Now to pull the two wiring harness and clean up what I can before I put in the new wires, try to remember where they all hooked, and all the new brake stuff.....damn, just depressed myself. :flat;

IHADAV8 Playground / Merry Christmas, Everyone.

I hope all enjoy the season, and everyone enjoys good health, prosperity, good humor, and good fortunes when you eat Chinese.


Hopefully, Santa will leave Timmy that electric, vibrating, single wing football game that brings back all those good times that he felt he had left behind.  Sorry, Timmy, Santa does not have room in the sleigh for that totally restored Mustang.

Sylvan will hopefully get an activated, actionated, Duane Eddy figure complete with a Gibson and a copy of Forty Miles of Bad Road on 8 track for those long treks into the badlands.

Brian is down for one of those Russian aura cameras so he can continue his path into out of this world photos which will put him on the same easel as Ansel Adams.

Donna is down for a Nurse Betty dvd course...."A Vein the First Stick Guaranteed" and a suppressor for her weapon of choice.

For the rest, the world is your oyster, just make sure you are a pearl, and the world will kneel to you...but get your orders to Santa in early as selections may be small during the Depression!

IHADAV8 Playground / Frank Feldman

« on: December 12 2008, 09:24:54 PM »

A man walks out to the street and catches a taxi just going by. He gets into the taxi, and the cabbie says,

"Perfect timing. You're just like Frank."

Passenger: 'Who?'

Cabbie: "Frank Feldman. He's a guy who did everything right all the time. Like my coming along when you needed a cab, things happened like that to Frank Feldman every single time."

Passenger: "There are always a few clouds over everybody."

Cabbie: "Not Frank Feldman He was a terrific athlete. He could have won the Grand-Slam at tennis. He could golf with the pros. He sang like an opera baritone and danced like a Broadway star and you should have heard him play

the piano. He was an amazing guy."

Passenger: "Sounds like he was something really special."

Cabbie: "There's more... He had a memory like a computer. He remembered everybody's birthday. He knew all about wine, which foods to order and which fork to eat them with. He could fix anything. Not like me. I change a fuse, and the whole street blacks out. But Frank Feldman,

he could do everything right."

Passenger: "Wow, some guy then."

Cabbie: "He always knew the quickest way to go in traffic and avoid traffic jams. Not like me, I always seem to get stuck in them. But Frank, he never made

a mistake, and he really knew how to treat a woman and

make her feel good. He would never answer her back even if she was in the wrong; and his clothing was always immaculate, shoes highly polished too. He was the perfect man! He never made a mistake. No one could ever measure up to Frank Feldman."

Passenger: "An amazing fellow. How did you meet him?"

Cabbie: "Well, I never actually met Frank. He died. I'm married to his f** kin' widow."
