I use the remote when Speed Channel and one of the others are both running a race! Other then that, afraid I'd just wear it out if I kept flippin' channels looking for something that was actually good!!! If it weren't for Speed Channel, Discovery, and Nat Geo wouldn't be much there........Quote:

So, they rerun it at like 1 AM and I stay up to watch it for about a week, and never once did the T bucket get used in any episode. :mad: But the acting and plots were so horrible that I couldn't watch it any more, so after the week I gave up. We must have been very starved for entertainment back then because when I see some of these old shows they were just bad. Now we have REAL entertainment, like "The Girls Next Door!!!" :cool: :) :) :)

1 AM???? Geez, I can't stay up that late to watch anything....Though my first wake up of the night is usually around 2:30 AM:LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
As for what's on the tube now.....Well, I'll be out in the garage!!!! Nothing on but the "experts"....
Football
NASCAR
Politics
you name it
Don't know why they bother playing the games, having the race, or running an election.... All these alleged "experts" have it all figured out anyway!!!! I sure do get tired of the ********** media telling me what to think all the time... Heck, I'm so old I remember when they were reporters and personal opinions were known as editorials!!!!!!!!
I was in bed by 8:30 last night---course I had been moving STUFF at the old shop all day !!!!loaded pallet rack, oil barrels, blocks ( one 392, 5five 426 hemi, 4 440s, lotsa iron chev, several later ls and ford modular) transmissions, 33 ford frames & Downs bodies(anyone need couple roadsters or a Cabrelay? ) work benches(stacking them outside for anyone who wants some
And to think that we moved back to the home shop because of fuel costs and travel time--costs are down, still been traveling to move out, what did I gain?
Remember when the news was John Cameron Swazy and was sponsered by Timex watches and Walk a mile for a Camel????
It's shaping into a nice Autumn here. Still warm days, which makes it nice to work outside and cool nights in the high 30's and low 40's.:rolleyes:
Snow is fun to visit, but hard to live through for a whole winter. Sun is nice too, but hard to work in when really hot!
Dave we put skylights in the garage when we rebuilt it, and insulated it as well. It keeps it cool and bright in the summer, and somewhat warm and bright in the winter. They are the opening variety of skylight, but to be honest I've never felt the need to open them! Like you I wish I had more space to move around in, but am just happy to have a place that is dry and out of the elements!:)
well you could just wait for the latest copy of girls gone wild to come in the mail btw did you know bob spelled backwards is bob.... LOL TED
Oh yes. The fabulous boob tube. Reality TV has pretty well ruined it for me. That and all the political crap. I'm not sure I trust any of them with our country's future now. :mad: I like the original CSI (Vegas). Thats about it. Really miss the stuff my sis and I grew up with. Like...Disney movies, Mutal of Omaha Wild Kingdom, and re-runs of Leave it to Beaver. It depresses me to even imagine what my grandchildren will be watching when they're kids.
Yesterday it was 37 degrees. This morning its 63. Must have been a warm front sneak in last night. Need to get back out to the shop b4 father winter comes to visit. Later! :D

I like CSI also, the original the best, but I'll watch the others if I'm in the mood...
as for the kids in the future.. arleady, looney tunes and Tom and Jerry is off the air on regular channels.. suggestive themes and violence they say.. this stuff is in there, but kids won't understand it, and focus on the slapstick part that the plot rest's on. this held true for 40 years or so, until now, the govt says it is no good...
but we do get Leave it to Beaver on RTN.. got to rent the cartoons tho
Dont forget about Festus, Dave. Sorry to hear about the snow. It was 37 yesterday morning and that felt a lot colder than I'm ready for.Quote:
