Hi Pete and all,
Hmmm, under orders from the CO the first name of the Yellow Submarine
remains classified,oh well.
Eh, the Blunderbuss started a series of jokes, among them my bus wire and
bus bars but it suffered sudden death. Now a thought just struck me, the
bell did serve a purpose. Some are a bit clumsy so it facilitated loading
powder and shot, then scattered the shot when fired making things
somewhat easier for those who couldn't hit the broad side of a barn on a
good day.
I don't hang around truck stops so I don't know about "decorations" these
days, I do imagine since independents went the way of the dinosaurs such
is rare. FYI, some companies are extremely strict and have taken things
one step farther thanks to CB getting out of hand with illegal equipment
and the FCC. They disallow ANYTHING external connected to the electrical
system that incidentally puts a crimp in driver comfort and convenience
but it did put a stop to the company getting fined for FCC violations.
Prevents heart attacks too, imagine the pencil pushers' reaction to an
NAL demanding payment of $10,000+ and a 10 day response... OR ELSE!
Unfortunately some are still around putting out enough RF to drop cooked
birds from the sky just to talk a few miles up the road and/or complain
about "the beepers" on 10M but that's life in the hammer lane. Oh BTW,
I'm NOT your good buddy! (Back in the day, to some I was their worst
nightmare.)
I was talking about vehicle classification but then you reminded me of
another insurance company trick, here too premiums are determined by use,
mileage and area where the vehicle is kept. Makes sense, the more you use
it the more likely you'll crash and the higher the crime the more likely
it'll be stolen or stripped. "You're in good hands with Allstate"? OK,
just make a claim and those hands ball into fists.
As an aside, there's this Bait Car TV show that makes me laugh. They park
a wired Escalade in a ghetto with the keys in it (red flag to anyone with
a brain) and watch the hood rats steal it. After a few blocks away from
unwanted attention they move in and arrest them, then ask the obvious
questions for the camera. You should hear some of the excuses, worse than
lame but such a laugh riot I don't know how the cop can keep a straight
face.
I suppose snowmobiles on a frozen lake are pretty common but some
daredevils take them on open water. When lucky skill gets them through
but some are not so lucky... glug. Most don't have the sense God gave a
goose, in summer would be better but wearing heavy winter clothes makes
swimming impossible, then they get waterlogged and sink. Enter the Darwin
Award.
"Aaaah how I miss my MoooBubble days."
Yeah, when we were kids sometimes I'd drink milk through a straw and blow
moobubbles.
