If you do the work, why not look forward to the reward. If you take the attitude that you don't need to work but still look forward to payday, wait, that's the welfare system.

[hey,littlecobra]

UNBELIEVABLE. current temp. 77*. Hi 81. lo 62.

It's almost cool outside. Looks dark and cloudy tho'. Must be those pesky tornadoes.....

yup, got it tru. and replied with the affirmative!

Have mailed pictures/packages today to: Australia, Sweden, Isle of Man, San Antonio, Ohio, and Fort Worth. All for $38 + change. Not too bad.
seeya. passing over computer to #2 son. #1 son is out socializing.

think I'll go wash the cobra!!!! yea! finally!

[Ron61]

Tru,

I am feeling some what better today as it is just 103 and not so humid. Only problem is, every time I get outside I get a splitting head ache and I hardly ever have head aches. I called my doctor and he said it was most likely because I am still fully recovered from the heat strokes and for me to take it easy. But that is hard to do when for the first time in three weeks I feel like I may live through the day. Oh, well I can take solance that I have dissappointed a bunch of people by living. If the temperature keeps cooling down, and my head aches will stop, by next week I may be able to think about driving the car again. I went out in the garage and used the Calif. Car duster on it. No bugs at all so just dust from setting.

How is your Cobra coming? About got all the calipers and things ready now? August 6th is our annual Cobra Social. Wish you and some of the guys could make it. Right by the river, huge swimming pool and Greek Style baths and houses. Lots of great food and company. I didn't think I was going to be able to go this year, but if things keep on improving, I can make it that far.

Ron

[flipper35]

At least you can take pics while you are there. Sounds like everyones weather is improving.

[Ron61]

Brent,

There will be pictures. Everyone takes a lot and normally Bill Emerson has a bunch posted on some site. I keep waiting for that special picture of when one of the guy's forgets to set the emergency brake and the car rolls over the bank and into the river.

Now you all are assuming again

I said the were closeout not cheap plastic shoes.

So happens they are leather and very well made shoes. I have put the first pair through the ringer and they look great, still support my feet and are comfortable. I have had them in water on the river and in mud up to my anlkes and on mytractor for weeks at a time working a job. I wash them off and they look great, even the leather still looks good. They look like they are still new actually.

Don't put words in my mouth, or anything else for that matter.

[EarlsflyinCobra]

Well, it's 6pm, 91+ outside, thermostat set on 72 but its 80 in the house, girls all at work or shopping, so I'm going to bed. I know, thats terrible, but with havin to get up at 4am and it being so durn hot, I'm gonna turn in. It's been a "LOUSY" day that can't get worse if I'm sleepin.................................

[hey,littlecobra]

didn't say YOU had plastic shoes, Steve!! Sorry if it sounded implied, tho'. I was just saying I won't buy plastic tennies, they stink! I get the girls tennies at Target a lot. That way they can have tons of styles, and when they get whupped out, out they go.... flip flop heaven there, too.

Washed the car all nice. Haven't polished the chrome; another day. Went down the higwy a bit to pick up Peter. #1 son. He said, you didn't come here to pick me up in that, did you??? I said, yeah, unless you plan on walking! get in.....

so a nice 10 minute hiway drive. Very nice. a couple of sprinkles on the windshield, but dried pretty quickly. Gotta go. Having dinner out with friends, and of course now my hair is wild woman hair. #2 son said, 'mom, I don't know if you've ever described yourself as a wild woman before'. I said, not wild woman, wild woman HAIR!

more later....

g'nite, Earl. Hope tomorrow is better.

Ron. I hope you get to make it to the show next week. Really really try!

Wild woman..

Now let's hear the real stories.

A son that does not want to be picked up by his Mom in a Cobra. Kristen what's going on there in your house? Did I read that right?



Didn't you read 'Kit Car' bed time stories to him when he was younger...

Bernie

[4RE KLR]

Hey Bernie

Did you go see Steve at the Aussie zoo. That guy is a hoot. A lot of people do noy like hime here but he is very informative and funnyto listen to.

I have actually e-mailed him back and forth a couple of times.

I have seen Steve a few times. He is a friend of a guy I know up in Queensland who is a builder.

Steve has constantly been extending the Wild Life Park up there. Ron has been working for him on and off.

He's pretty genuine and dedicated to the conservation of all animals. It's just his TV persona that some people don't like.

It's a multi million dollar business he runs with the Park and Television shows. No doubt anyone that does that will run up against a few people who don't like him or are not big fans of what he is doing..

I can say that he is just like the guy you see on television. Just don't go and meet him and expect to have a quite beer or talk. He cannot sit still!!!

The fact that he takes the time to email you is indicative of how nice a guy he is. ...my emails to Pamela Anderson have all gone un answered......not serious. Pam who...

[trularin]

What a scarry thing!!!!!!!

I was in the house and all of the sudden...everything went quiet.

I got up and started looking around. I couldn't see anything making noise. Then it dawned on me, the air conditioner had shut off.

I paniced and ran in the basement to check the circuit breakers. This is the firs time anything popper a circuit breaker. I was excited.

So I strt checking everything and when I'm at the stat, I see that the temp was below the setting.

It is actually cool outside.

Hey, pretty good huh? Almost as long as HLC's.

[hey,littlecobra]

great post, tru. you're getting there..

great temp. outside, here, too. yea!! Of course the ironic thing is that the A/C guy is coming in the morning to change the filters in all the units. Better than him coming to FIX a broken unit, etc.

We had a nice dinner out. Kids 12 and under eat free, from certain menu. they HAVE to order from that menu, whether they like it or not! getting ready to go start a new book, and unfortunately, turning the computer over to #2 son....

so without further ado..... adieu, mon chere's....

[Ibr8k4vetts]

Nike...
THIS THREAD WILL NEVER DIE!!!!! and I can't believe I have read EVERY post.
As for the weather...mid 70'S, but a lot of fog.

[4RE KLR]

Yes the weather today was great. A bit wet this am but who is complaining!

Mike
Glad to have you back to visit, you should hang around.

[HI Cobra]

What can I say - just another nice day here in paradise - it does cool
off at night and a ceiling fan makes it real nice. No wonder I moved here
a long time ago.

[Ron61]

Weather is getting better here too. Got clear down to 78 last night and the high yesterday was just 105. Time to start dragging out the coats and Winter gear.



Kristen,

What did you ever do to your son that he don't want to be picked up by you in the Cobra? Every kid I know would fight to have their Mother's come pick them up in a Cobra. Let him drive it and thet will change things.

Why I don't Walk!!!

There is no use in walking anywhere to preach if your walking isn't your preaching--St FRANCES of ASSISI

Even in the mud and scum of things, something always, always sings.-- RALPH WALDO EMERSON

.........Walking can add minutes to your life. This enables you at 85 years old to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing home at $5000 per month.

My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was 60. Now she's 97 years old and we don't know where the hell she is.

The only reason I would take up exercising is so I could hear heavy breathing again.

I joined a health club last year, spent about 400 bucks. Haven't lost a pound. Apparently you have to go there.

I had to exercise early in the morning before my brain figures out what I'm doing.

I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.

I have flabby thighs, but fortunately my stomach covers them.

The advantage of exercising every day is that you die healthier.

If you are going to try cross-country skiing, start with a small country.

And last but not least: I don't exercise because it makes the ice jump right out of my glass.

You could run this over to your friends but why not just e-mail it to them!

Ron

[hey,littlecobra]

Ron, I think he was surprised by the cobra; not that he didn't WANT to ride in it. After he got over his surprise that I'd pick him up in it, he was grinning from ear to ear. His friends were saying wow, that's the coolest car.... He has a habit of thinking everything I do is to ruin his day, so this was totally unexpected.
It would be 'normal' for me to pick him up in the suburban, or worse yet, the pickup. Then he could say 'you don't ever get me in the cobra!' I 'ruined' his negative thoughts of me for the day! yea!!! I won!
No, he won't drive the cobra. If daddy don't drive the cobra then none of the hoodlums will either!

Looks humid outside. Haven't checked the temp yet. Doesn't LOOK 100* yet. (It is just 8:15 tho'.)

ok. we've left shoes, left, guns (good) and now back to weather. What's next?

How about cameras again?

have a great day! I'll be around, I'm sure.
