Thread: Dang it... WHATS THE MATTER WITH YOU GUYS!!!

Tweet

It's 2:30 Pm and I'm just now finding out its Friday? Whats Up With That? I thought at least one of you would of been keeping track of the calendar for me, but guess not...

So I'm doing the regular thing for Saturday SEAT BUILDING. But actually going to take a few minutes on Sunday to look the Model A over and figure out a new rebuild plan of attack. Its been sitting since 1974 and I need to make it a priority for me. I smoothed it all off when I was a snotty nosed kid because it was the cool thing to do at the time. I even painted the frame and fire wall a disgusting turquoise that looks bitchen on Tri-Five Chevy's but not Model A's. Now I'm going to un-smooth it and put the door handles, gas fillet neck, and everything else back on and go more retro with the patina look. I built the car for bar hopping back in the day when you could bar hop. Now that I'm older and much more wiser I think I want it more for the antique drags car. So Sunday will be brain storming the rebuild of the A, hope it doesn't hurt.

What are you guys up to this weekend? Fun Stuff that is semi safe I hope? Enjoy.

I thought you posted Happy Friday two days ago ??? what'sup with this? did you change your routine again?

Got my Fairlane OEM (POS) trunk liner in and I'll probably try and get it stuck down over the two days.

have a great weekend,
Em

You sleeping up there?? It's Saturday.. Sorry to tell you ...

Yeah Bob's it's Saturday down here and looking out the window,it's not too bad a day for the sixth day of spring. My plans are to do some tidying up around the garden and take a load of rubbish out to the Sisters place to burn. But first I have to get the old Bmmmer going as yesterday the battery decided not to play the game so have had the charger on all night. The car is a 1995 BMW and when I removed the battery cover I find the original BMW battery with all it's markings in there but, surely, that would be impossible for a battery to last that long. The car has 140,000 km's on the speedo and I'm the only NZ owner and have owned it since 2006 when it was imported from Singapore. I only average 1000 to 1500 km's every 6 months between warrant of fitnesses so as you can see, it hardly goes anywhere. Well, I better go and see if the garden has started cleaning itself up without me.

sixth day of spring????? does the equinox? happen on a different schedule down there??? up here its on 21st------

?Equinox? is that an amphibian or a fur bearing animal?

I'll be puttin' in a full day at work. But next weekend..... well that's entirely different. I'll be on the starting line with camera in hand at Bud's Creek.

..:: Maryland Int'l Raceway* -* Budds Creek, MD* ::..

I've been looking forward to next weekend for a good long time.

Spring equinox in NZ is on the 23rd Sept, some people just don't understand when spring actually starts and just take it from the 1st of the month..

The equinox is when the day and the night are of equal length.

So no; you can't put it on your barbeque Emm.

Sorry!

Cant say when last ate an equinox but I think it was on vacation on route 66 about 10 years back. Some tasty road kill if I remember correctly. Just a tad bit grisly but enough BBQ sauce and anything tastes great.

Saturday Chris and I are heading to South Haven to a Steam and Engine show (Big Steam Tractors) and all kinds of fair food. Always wanted to build one of them but I'm glad I don't have room for one in the shop.

I used to see dead equinoxs on the road down by the farm----Mom was upset when I brought one home to cook even tho it had a pretty black/white stripe fur coat----------

Cooking it wouldn't be that bad but "Cleaning" it would require plenty of room outdoors and a strong TAIL wind. Of course you would have to take several Catsup Baths and sleep outside for a month or so.

Well I will freely admit that I don't know a darn thing about that animal Equinox but I will always remember that my late wife and I got married on the first day of spring back in 1979 so have always remembered it that way. Kiwidreamer you must admit that from the start of September the weather is improving greatly and the days are getting longer here downunder in NZ.

I believe that's the the venereal equinox Emmett's talking about, Jerry.
