I realize this thread is right at a year old, but I just noticed that it appears you never got a chance to install my dual-speaker bracket I saw in the floor board. Bummer, you would have enjoyed it.

I forgot to update this thread... Aaron landed a job right out of the chute. He's in Katy, Texas, right outside of Houston working for ARC Specialties as a junior design engineer. They make custom automated and robotic equipment for welding, cutting, testing, and materials handling. Very...

Funny story about Sandra... A few years ago, I took my son to the airport in Austin, Texas, to catch a flight to San Diego. With a little time to kill we walked down the concourse to find a snack. Sitting at a cafe table reading a magazine was none other than Jesse James. Aaron walked over...

The degree is Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering Technology (MMET). It's basically a hands-on, practical mechanical engineering degree, as opposed to the egghead, theoretical side of mechanical engineering (no offense meant to any of you eggheads). :rolleyes:

Aaron, who some of you remember from our days of restoring his '74 Dart Sport, is graduating from Texas A&M next Saturday. It's been a long, hard road, but he has finally earned a degree in manufacturing and mechanical engineering. Even better is the fact that he is starting his first job in...

Awesome! Glad you enjoyed the ride. I've gone up once, and it was a real blast. I knew a guy who went up the day before I did. The next time I saw him, he was in a leg cast - got thrown down hard when the basket hit the ground and dumped over. My balloon was drifting a little low and the...

Here's hoping for a successful surgery and a speedy, full recovery. Keep up your spirits and your health, Leanna - times like this can be very trying on both.

Although this isn't going to be a cake walk for either of you, the best thing you guys have going is the love and compassion you share. That alone will carry you and Sarah through much of what you have yet to face. Please continue the updates when you can, and pass along our best wishes for...

Way to go, Pop!

Get well soon... and milk the sympathy for as long as you can.

Now you have 57 votes... good luck.

Venus, Texas, that is, near Ft. Worth. It got me to wondering - what are some of the oddball-named places you have been to?

One of my first part-time jobs while in college in 1976 was as a drive-through bank teller. Occasionally, I would run errands for the loan officers in a Pacer - a red Pacer (no hiding it). It was humiliating then, but now... I'd drive one for the nostalgia factor. Go for it, man.

Nice score, Scott

Wrap a zip tie around his drive shaft and leave the end long enough to hit the floor pan every time it spins around. It sounds awful but does no harm.

If it "tumbles" slowly, you might have something there. Folks who reload ammunition use a tumbler to clean their spent brass casings. If your device "spins", like is required to sling the water off the lettuce, it wouldn't work because the parts would not tumble around in the sand or other...

My father-in-law has been cut on twice and still lives in constant pain. The pain meds turn him into someone even he doesn't like. Best of luck with the surgery.

Leanna, Obviously, there are several ways to look at how you generate your income. You can do it time and material, cost plus, per piece, etc. What it basically boils down to is what you project as your annual business income requirement (to keep the doors open). Let's face it, you do this...

One Saturday, my boss was carrying some trash out to a dumpster in the alley behind our office. Two guys approached him and asked for some money. When he told them he didn't have any one said, "Let's see your wallet, show us you don't have any money." He calmly bent down and pulled his .40...

Funny... me too - immediately.

Better than having crabs....

Amen to that, brother... glad your daughter is OK, too.

I hear ya... I'm already anticipating that. Aaron kept a spreadsheet on all expenses during restoration. We have lots of photos, and he has a shelf full of trophies and plaques from car shows.

Actually, that's a big, wide intersection with a grass median. The guy tells Aaron, "Sorry, man, I didn't see you." Aaron says, "You couldn't see my bright yellow car with me laying on the horn?" He called me today after he could see it in the daylight and said, "It doesn't look that bad."...

Late yesterday, I got a call from my son Aaron who is attending Texas A&M. He first assured me that he was OK, then said that some guy just ran a stop sign and drove his truck over the front end of Aaron's Dart Sport. Ever get that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach? For those of...

I hear ya... I can't even give away crap like those guys (not just Hester) put high-dollar "estimates" on. And how many junky units do they have to buy before they get one that actually has something of real value to show on national TV?

I'll play... It's a wire gauge.......gauge.
