I think I’m done for the year….

Well stuff happens. Hope that it's less rather than "more."

I once scattered a 440 -6 all over I-5 somewhere around Stockton CA late at night. A long walk to a "lucky" gas station resulted in a ride in a tow truck after closing, with the two pretty much drunk operators, into Stockton, where, on a street corner of a whoretell, we were contemplating our next move, when a motorcop rides up, and I hailed him.

"Hey, can you tell us how to get out of town to San Diego?"

"Have ya tried hitch hikin?"

"No, officer you don't understand, we have some money, we are looking for a boat, train, plane........"

"Have ya tried HITCH HIKIN?"

LOL

THAT was a LONG weekend.

Short sleep in Stockton, hung all day waiting for bus to SF

Taxi from SF to Oakland airport

Flight to San Diego.

Taxi to Gary's house in National City, got his truck

Drove all the way N to Miramar, retrieved my 64, and rented a U haul tow bar.

Drove ALL the way BACK up to Stockton, to the same service station hooked up the dead '70 and towed it ALL the way back to San Diego.

Monday, NAS Miramar, the RADAR site. Had to put up with "Chief CPO Columbo" "Say, I just have one question..........are ya sposed to be able to look THROUGH the engine and see the GROUND?"
