movie popcorn  --oops, I mean  (I asked Mom if she remembers why I loved Wally Cox so much. She doesn't. All she can think is that maybe it was because he was a small fellow. So I did a little internet research. There's not much on him, but maybe this helps explain why I had such a HUGE crush on Wally Cox) (very quiet, very unassuming, small fellow, but what a great quirky humor!) |

I have to say, my very VERY favouritest of all your pics is that last one you posted. That is truly just as sweet a pic as they come. I saw it and immediately had to smile. Still am smiling.
I can see why your daughter gifted you the Honda. How could any kids not be full of love for their folks, when their folks are so very full of love?
Makes me a little sad there's no Leo sharing my life like your sweet Betty has. But maybe someday still.

I vaguely remember Orbit. I don't watch Simpsons. So gotta go with the one I even vaguely know.

Hills shopping
(yes. Wally Cox. Don't ask why, I've no idea. I think I thought he was funny. I don't know! I didn't even know at the time that he was the voice for my favouritest cartoon character--I only found that out maybe 10 years ago.
I just adored him though. He was my very first crush.)

squares, Hollywood
(and they never called on Wally Cox nearly as often as I wanted--oh gosh was I in love with him when I was a sprig!)

Meanwhile UncaLeo, please do keep telling us your memories and stories. I might not understand any of what you tell about the mechanics, but I sure am enjoying the pics and the non-mech parts. Although I'm curious about those really long extended tailpipes on "Old Red/Blue"--why??
And I agree, that Harley really was purdy. Did those little chrome duo-bars around the fenders have any actual purpose, or just to add to the purdy?
>'Kat, still not wearing her dog-mask while driving ANYthing!! Nor my Walmart mask (yes, I actually do own one, which is getting remade into a Krypto the Superdog head!)

Hey piston--why are you bothering to read these? You've already established you don't believe Leo's stories. You think he's wrong. Ok. Fine. We get it. But you know what?
I. DON'T. CARE.
He's telling what he remembers. Sometimes memories aren't accurate. So what? Did you call your own uncle a liar when he either misremembered or embellished facts telling a story from his past? You've never ever embellished a story to make it better telling to your buddies?
Just because you think you know otherwise, doesn't make it right for you to get all puffed up about what Leo is telling. Let him tell his tales. If they so offend you, well you know, nobody makes you click on this thread and read them.

w650, I'm giving you a new nickname--Grumblybear.   >'Kat, just glad I don't have to deal with any of that silliness but also wishing I didn't have to pay for it either |

That's right, fly. I'd forgotten. But it doesn't automatically engage, which is why the dealership had one with a banged-up fender. And being new to scooters and all, I wasn't about to see if I could bang the other fender for them.  >'Kat |

And then again, my old old Tempo had something wrong with the right brake light. It kept burning out bulbs, every few months. My mech at that time showed me how to pull the carpet-liner out, pull out the cardboard (yes, literally cardboard--Ford really ponied up the big bucks for that part!), which then gave me access to the hole where I could pull the wire and get the bulb out and replace it. I always kept a package of spares back there.
So sometimes the engineers really do it all right, and they make it easy to get to something without planned future repairs involved.

Btb, Boss said there was a line of Pontiacs that you had to remove the entire front--bumper, grill, radiator, several other things I don't know--in order to get to the headlight and replace a bulb. Also btb, they didn't charge me. Said they'll write it off as training, and to please not get any more bulbs replaced. >'Kat |
