    Speaking of hot summers.............

    I take Mrs. Maxtor out on ice cream runs all the time, including last night. I am trying to loose weight so no ice cream for me. She eats ice cream all the time and she is thin. There is no justice. :dunno

    Your Winter Projects

    I just read an article about a motorcycle X14 that does close to 200 mph. Sounds suicidal to me.

    Your Winter Projects

    Looks like a lot of house projects. At first I was wondering why everyone is doing house projects in the winter. Then I thought that it might be because in the winter time your jobs might be slower and give you more time for the projects. When you are retired, we try to get all the house...

    Your Winter Projects

    Anyone making plans for a winter project? A few friends are restoring their hot rods this winter, and I am rebuilding our 1/4 mile car. New heads, cam, intake, valves, pistons, drag slicks, electronic ignition, etc. With the old stuff, dual points, iron heads, smaller valves, heavier rods, old...

    Now Is The Time To Buy (If You Can)

    Ok,, I see how you came to this conclusion. Let us all know how you like it, I hope yours is one of the great ones. Our strategy was to have one sports car, one PSD, one economy car and one suv. This way, we have every situation covered. We just take whatever vehicle is needed at the time.

    Prices are going up.

    I just got off the phone for our local firewood supplier. $278 per cord delivered. I wonder what it will be in another 10 years.

    Now Is The Time To Buy (If You Can)

    Just curious, If you have a F250/F350 PSD, why would you need the F150? :dunno A Explorer or Expedition is more "wife friendly", and should get at least as good mileage as a F150. Plus keeps the groceries out of the weather. Until we bought the Focus, the wife loved her Explorer. Now you can't...

    I am glad to hear that business is looking up. Some trucking companies are going out of business here.

    Prices are going up.

    Yes, the seasoned Oak was going for $250 here in Redding last year. It might be higher this year. I have heard that Oak is going for $400 plus in the San Francisco area. "Bay area" but I do not know for sure. People that depend on diesel for heat, are going to be paying much more this year.

    Prices are going up.

    Our house is heated and cooled by a central air unit. The a/c is run by electricity, and the heat is run by propane. When we first bought propane it was 99 cents a gallon. Today I called and it is $3.21 per gallon. I imagine that you guys that are using diesel for heat are going to be paying...

    President to visit Redding tomorrow.

    I agree. He took the time to shake ever firefighters hand on the tarmac. Our Sheriff is a good friend of mine and he said he was amazed at how down to earth and friendly President Bush was. He talked about coming back to Redding after his term is up and go fishing on Shasta Lake. He said that...

    President to visit Redding tomorrow.

    The security was pretty tight. They came in on rwy 16 (from the north) and left on rwy 34 (from the south). One of the C-17's carried all his motorcade, suv's. The one up front was a chevy..." I guess it was expendable" :lmao Along with the President, and Governor was the state senator from San...

    Drunk hit my Peterbilt yesterday

    I am glad to hear all is well with your driver. On the positive side, you are right about your truck possibly saving some mom and child in a small car. Trailers are easier to repair than people.

    President to visit Redding tomorrow.

    Here is a nice photo. Here in the North State, we have 100's of thousands of acres burnt, homes destroyed, people burned alive, so I do not think it is a waste of the Presidents time to survey the damage. California is going to need Federal money to help pay for all the costs of the fires. The...

    President to visit Redding tomorrow.

    If the information is correct, the President should be here around 2:00 p.m. I will try to get some pictures of Air Force One.

    Remember old cable TV days?

    I think Amos and Andy was one of the first programs on our T.V. One of my favorites was Space Patrol. I think it was in 1950 in the Los Angeles area. I never missed a episode. How many of you remember watching SPACE PATROL....with Commander Corry. Of course back then, we did not question the...

    President to visit Redding tomorrow.

    President Bush is flying in tomorrow to view the devastation from all the fires up here. It is amazing on all the equipment he needs for a visit. Two huge C-17 cargo planes came in carrying helicopters and equipment. Air Force One is a 747. The glide path for Rwy 34 is less than a mile from our...

    Remember old cable TV days?

    When T.V. first came out, we had about 5 channels to chose from. Of course after a few hours you got the test pattern. How many of you remember that?
