Nellie, ME's HHR

Further maintenance of Ol' Truck.

Half of the Edge Juice with Attitude readout screen went dark several years ago and it finally totally...

The S10 core support IS bulky! I almost did something similar with mine but I did get everything to fit so it's OK for now.

Dan

[DanStokes]

We missed you! Good to hear from you. Yeah, that malware incident was annoying!

Dan

[DanStokes]

Dave - I have almost no old-timey stuff so I'm out of the running on Steampunk though I DO appreciate it greatly. About the only thing old I have is a...

[DanStokes]

Nope. I was blending troglodyte and luddite. Dave's a great guy but is some of each.

Dan...

[DanStokes]

Dave's a great guy but he IS a troglollud. It's hard to enter keystrokes when your knuckles are scarred from dragging on the ground.

Da...

I think a drill press jig (or is that a fixture) would be the way to go. Unless you have a Bridgeport (maybe in my next life......)

You never know when the "Gotta do it now" bug will bite.

I miss Loren and Gail.

Interesting sidelight: The grill looked to be OK (lack of collision damage) but didn't fit quite right at the bottom against the bumper cover. I went...

[DanStokes]

Most I bought that way and made $$ on 'em too. ME's fine - it wasn't much of an accident.

Dan

[DanStokes]

Great player and way to young to pass along. Peace to those who loved him.

Love the Badger! Happy sailing. We met and hung out with Bob Vila (and his much younger wife) of This Old House fame on one crossing.

[DanStokes]

'Zakly! That's why we didn't go crazy on the repairs but it looks pretty good.

Dan...

[DanStokes]

Naw! Fun story - when our youngest boy was a teen one of his buddies had hit something (cause of damage was undisclosed) and Ben brought his buddy over...

[DanStokes]

Ford assumes "offroad" means the mall parking lot. And the truth is that few people do anything tougher than a gravel driveway - but I get...

Evidently I haven't started a thread on Nellie (couldn't find it with the search function) so I'll start now:

ME got sandwiched for the second...
